Former race winner Rubens Barrichello thinks that Lewis Hamilton could possibly be the greatest driver ever to grace the Formula One grid.

Who is the greatest ever Formula One driver? This is one debate that will never go away. One thing is usually certain though, a Brazilian will always back Senna in this debate.

Former teammate of Michael Schumacher and countryman of Ayrton Senna has bucked this trend though, saying that Hamilton, who he raced against between 2007 and 2011, could just be the superior driver.

"Hamilton has a talent that is possibly even greater than Ayrton's and Schumacher's," Barrichello told ESPN Brazil.

"The only thing he lacked was maturity. He's been progressing and today you see the end product.

"Listening to the team radio at the Brazil Grand Prix, he is incredibly calm, passing on information, saying what he needs and doesn't need."

"The perfect driver would have Ayrton's skill, Schumacher's courage and Hamilton's coordination. It would be a show to watch!"
