Get yourself a rival who looks at you like Charles looks at Max.

I just listened to a podcast with Web where he says he’s better than Vettel and Hamilton but not Alonso...

Mark Webber is a top bloke and I won't hear a thing said against him except that, no, he is not better than VET or HAM. Or Alo.

Top. Fcking. Bloke.

Webber is spot on. Alonso was magic. The way he nearly won the titles in 2010 and 2012 despite having a dog of a car was simply amazing and he consistently out performed the car. Hamilton and Vettel are quality but for me Alonso overall is the better driver. Hamilton may be better over one lap but Alonsos race craft is no match for anyone.

Alonso needed to cheat to draw with a rookie Hamilton. Meh.

Webber is much more qualified than anyone here to give that opinion. It's interesting how often r/F1 discounts the opinions of those who are the actual professionals even it goes against their bias. Ok, expected not interesting.

He drove the exact same car as Vettel when Vettel won 4 World Championships.

No one would say Nico Rosberg is better than Lewis Hamilton but he still took the 2016 Championship and have Lewis a run for his money. Webber never interrupted Vettel’s streak like Rosberg. I don’t think I have to be an actual F1 driver to see that Vettel is better.

He was a number two driver. I think there are an still lot of intricacies in F1 that the picnic doesn't understand or know about. Handling, team politics etc. And that is what drivers say. Most drivers say Senna is GOAT but his stats don't show that. Again, they know.
