There is no other driver on the current grid (excluding Hamilton) who would be faster than him in qualifying if they were fortunate enough to take his seat. That is how much I think of his one lap pace. He has also shown he has what it takes to win races from the front and is typically scandi cool under pressure when leading. He is not the complete package, I have conceded that point on many occasions. Where the great drivers can make up positions in the race if starting down the grid he struggles a lot in this respect. That is his weak area, but I will stand by what I said earlier - there is no reason he can't be WDC with the skill set he has.
