Sebastian Vettel may be the sport’s first ever reigning back-to-back world champion, but he is not the best driver on the grid.
That is the view of former Renault boss Flavio Briatore, who thinks his charge Fernando Alonso and also McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton are better than the dominant 24-year-old German.
"Vettel is definitely good," the Italian told Corriere dello Sport, "but he has won because he has been the best to manage his phenomenal (Red Bull) machine.
"He is not the best. Imagine a race with everyone racing the same car; Vettel would be behind Fernando Alonso and also Lewis Hamilton.
"Over one lap I see him in pole position, with Hamilton second and Alonso third," added Briatore.
