Canadian Grand Prix winner picked over Lewis Hamilton as best racer F1 boss has ever seen

Lewis Hamilton Robert Kubica Mike Krack Canadian Grand Prix McLaren Mercedes Aston Martin BMW F1

Lewis Hamilton is regarded by many as the greatest Formula One driver in history... but not by Aston Martin team principal Mike Krack.

That is because Krack has named Robert Kubica, who won the Canadian Grand Prix in 2008, as his all-time F1 favourite. The Polish driver was an unlikely challenger to Hamilton for the 2008 Drivers' Championship, as the Brit won the first of his seven world titles.

The Canadian GP returns to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal on Sunday, with championship leader Max Verstappen on pole. Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso completes the front row, with Mercedes duo Hamilton and George Russell sitting behind them.
