Fact of the matter is that there are WAY too many variables whereas the ONLY variable that should be the determinant should be the driver himself, that's it. In a world where Ferrari has their own team of engineers come out whenever auto journalists test their cars, tinkering w tires, pressures, settings, etc etc etc, when these relatively minor things obviously affect the outcome of the times, you're gonna tell me we should all of a sudden discount MAJOR variables such as a superior car/setup and ONLY focus on the driver? Cmon.
Obviously, HAM has nothing to gain and everything to lose taking up that challenge (vs a relatively 'nobody'), so I wouldn't hold it against him for refusing. However, that is the ONLY way to know for sure who is the best. Stop kidding yourselves that you can take into account all these crazy variables, brush them aside like they are nothing and focus only on the driver, that's just being disingenuous and totally ridiculous. The end.
