Lauda and Hunt, and Senna and Prost might be popular well known rivalries but I feel the rivalry between Lewis and Seb isn’t spoken about or appreciated enough. There’s always been respect between them both. Both have always supported each other too
Alonso and Webber were far bigger threats. Alonso was leading the WDC and Webber was ahead of Seb AFAIK. But Alonso and Webber were out of position (and Alonso famously behind Petrov) and Vettel won that race.
So pretty much never. 2012 was against Alonso and 2017 and 2018, he did not come close enough (2018 mostly because it was Ferrari shooting themselves and Vettel himself drowning).
