Why? Does MSC winning the vast majority of his races in the dominant Ferrari and NEVER having a teammate that could actually fight him tarnish his achievements?
Edit: Added WDC and WCC records from the last 20 years. Ferrari have been more dominant in WCC over that period than anyone else with 10 of 20 wins. Mercedes is more dominant now but even if you include Brawn, they have won it 6 times with the WDC being won by 3 different drivers; Button (1), Hamilton (4) and Rosberg (1). Ferrari has been MSC (5) and Raikkonen (1).
I'm a big MSC fan but I also admit that he had Undisputed Number One status and was a bit fast and loose with the rules. As far as being a better sportsman, Hamilton is much better than MSC.
