F1 commentary legend Murray Walker believes Hamilton is better than Senna and Schumacher because he doesn’t share their "highly debatable driving tactics.” Murray also claimed his reasoning behind picking Hamilton over Senna and Schumacher was because the Briton was a much cleaner racer and didn't employ debatable tactics during racing. He said: “But he’s also in my opinion -- and this is very contentious indeed -- better than either Schumacher or [Ayrton] Senna because both of them, Schumacher and Senna, adopted at various times in their career highly debatable driving tactics. Like Schumacher stopping deliberately at Monaco to prevent Fernando Alonso getting pole position, like Schumacher colliding with Jacques Villeneuve at Jerez in 1997, like Senna with Alain Prost in 1990 in Japan, and Lewis Hamilton has never been anything like that. He’s always driven as clean as a whistle. He’s an extremely nice, gigantically talented driver, and I don’t think we’ve ever seen anybody like him before.” Being anointed as the greatest ever by the legendary Murray Walker surely holds ground. This probably gives validity to Hamilton's standing in the sport as one of the best to ever do it.

Lewis Hamilton (right) is considered to be greater than Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher (left) by Murray Walker is better than either or ! That was the view of the legendary F1 commentator, the late Murray Walker, when he was asked who he thought was the best driver to ever race in F1. While talking about the scenario, Murray elaborated, saying: “Well, people say to me, ‘Who is the greatest?’, and I always say, ‘Look, I think it’s impossible to say, because the drivers and the circuits and the cars were different’. Juan Manel Fangio took a lot of beating, Jim Clark, Sir Jackie Stewart -- there again I could go on -- but which is the best I really don’t know. I used to say Fangio. I think I’m going to have to say very shortly Lewis Hamilton, because if you look at it in terms of statistics, he’s already got more poles than [Michael] Schumacher. He’s got at least three years in him if he doesn’t hurt himself or leave Mercedes for some reason or they decide to stop, in which case he’s got at least another three championships ahead of him, so statistically he will become the greatest.” F1 commentary legend Murray Walker believes Hamilton is better than Senna and Schumacher because he doesn’t share their "highly debatable driving tactics.”F1 commentary legend Murray Walker believes Hamilton is better than Senna and Schumacher because he doesn’t share their "highly debatable driving tactics.” Murray also claimed his reasoning behind picking Hamilton over Senna and Schumacher was because the Briton was a much cleaner racer and didn't employ debatable tactics during racing.
