What the hosts said

LKerbside F1 Stats posted on X today's date through F1 history, and two names jumped out. Hamilton and Senna.
MNovember third. Seven years ago, Lewis Hamilton clinched title number six in Austin.
LAnd 1991, Ayrton Senna wins the Australian Grand Prix for McLaren. Thirty-five years ago.
MOne date, two legends. Now you've started something, Liam.
LGood. Because Hamilton is the greatest of all time. Seven championships. Case closed.
MCase closed? Senna won three and nobody talks about him like a spreadsheet.
LBecause he DIDN'T get more chances! Hamilton did it over and over, across different eras.
MGreatness isn't just a count, Liam. Watch Senna in the wet. That was something else.
LOh, come on. 'Something else' is a vibe. Seven titles is a fact.
MAnd I've got the fact that he's three-time champion and still the name every driver says first!
LEvery driver says Senna first because he's gone, and the legend only grows. Hamilton's still out there racing for Ferrari.
MFine. That one lands. Hamilton at this level, this long, is absurd.
LThank you. So Hamilton's the greatest?
MI said it lands. I didn't say you win. Senna's still my guy.
