Combining an F1 race weekend with a sim racing world competition event (while all competing F1 drivers are focusing on the race weekend events only: FPs, qualies and race), and win both events: which other F1 driver ever pulled this off ?

Max is the most agile, dynamic, and deft driver we have ever seen in F1. He can drive whatever he gets and drive it fast. These skills translate to being able to drive very different style cars and when you race in Le Mans, etc. with BoP it really comes down to the driver. I don’t think there is another F1 driver who could do what he does and most of them don’t want to try their hand in series where the cars are equalized since it would expose them against the bigger pool of drivers. Alonso is the only driver in F1 besides Max I’d put in this category.
I’d like to see him win the triple crown - only Jim Clark did this and Alonso made a good run. Seeing Max do it would be awesome.

Beyond that 2022/2023 from Max are stastically two of the best seasons ever in F1 (only other one close was Schumacher’s 2004) and are way above Ham’s best season by large margin.
On top of that, winning, especially year over year since 2022 has become the hardest in history due to budget and limited testing scale, and was done in an era of skill and talent that was not there when Ham won his in the most dominant and easy to drive car ever seen. So Max’s all around have far more weight to them. I’d argue Max’s 4 are equal to Ham’s “7”. Ham’s 7 at the same time are nowhere close to Schuamcher’s 7 which were as hard earned as Max’s.

Literally the most retarded thing I have ever read in regards to F1, and probably overall in the top 10 dumbest things I've ever read.

Don't bother responding to me, I know I can full on ignore everything you post because there is zero redeeming value.

Plot twist:

George was actually invited by Max to join him and got ready to go to the airport at 8.59am instead

I mean I get your anger - the truth hurts, especially when it showcases how easy Ham had it and when things get tough, he goes back to crashing into people and going nearly 3 years without winning a race. That speaks volumes of unknown measurability.

The "T" and "G" keys are located next to each other.

Must have been a typo.
