I wouldn't take it that far the guy definetely had talent and when it came down to putting in the perfect lap he could do it all day. The one thing that always amazed me was that if he had the perfect underneath him he would be unbeatable but on those rare occasions that a inferior car was being driven by somebody that audacity to pass him his concetration would be screwed up for that race. MS had talent and was the best driver of his generation but I doubt he would have done that well back in the 60's or 70's when any driver all the way to the back of the grid had a chance to win a race he would have won championships but they would not have been the runway wins that he enjoyed for a couple of his world championships.
