FORMULA 1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart called it “difficult to justify” saying Lewis Hamilton is the greatest ever driver. But Stewart, who won the driver’s championship three times, described it as near-impossible to compare Hamilton’s achievements to speedsters of yesteryear. ‘To say that Lewis is the greatest driver of all time, would be difficult for me to justify, in the sheer power of what the other drivers were doing. Due to difficulties comparing the modern-day car and calendar with that of the past, Stewart doesn’t even have Hamilton in his top three racing drivers of all time. At the time of his death, at the age of 32, Clark had won more F1 races and achieved more podiums than any other driver.
