Lewis Hamilton vs Sebastian Vettel

Lewis Hamilton checks every box: more titles (7 against 4) and superior dominance once scaled to their era (54% of the maximum possible points per season, against 41% for Sebastian Vettel). The rest just confirms the gap: Lewis Hamilton also leads Sebastian Vettel in win rate (26.9% against 17.7%), podium rate (52.5% against 40.8%), pole rate (26.6% against 19.1%), and reliability (8.9% against 14.4% in DNFs). The two never raced for the same team, so never went head-to-head in identical machinery. The full interactive comparison (link below) remains the fairest way to bring them together despite the era gap.
