Max isn't the best driver on the grid. The difference between Vetel and people like Alonso, Schumacher, Hamilton is that if those 3 are given a car, they can adapt and overchieve in it. Vettel once he lost the blown diffuser got shown up by Ricciardo
2014 is overrated Ricciardo had alot of luck that year all he's wins came from cockups from Mercedes of some kind and Vettel had alot of mechanical problems that year and some bad luck.
