Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton have shared multiple battles on track for race wins and World Championships throughout the years, especially during 2017 and 2018 when the German was at Ferrari. But, outside the track, the duo share a very friendly relationship and seem to have a lot of mutual respect between them.

They are easily one of the best drivers to ever step foot into F1. All of this culminated when, recently during a quickfire game with Talk Sport, Sebastian Vettel was asked to describe his arch-rival Lewis Hamilton.

The German later also revealed that he used that word to describe Hamilton because the Briton statistically is the best F1 driver in the history of the pinnacle of motor racing. Fans and pundits alike have reacted by speaking about how game recognizes game!

Even during the tail-end of the German’s career, he raced the Spaniard hard throughout his last season in F1, especially during their battle in Japan.

I had close championships and close calls with him and throughout my career generally he’s the sort of driver who is always there. Very competitive – yeah I think he was the hardest competitor I faced.
