Unless they are all in identical cars completely with no other outside amendments at all then you will never have a truly level playing field.

I do genuinely think Lewis is a superb driver. Even when the car wasn't under him he pulled off some truly great racing and finds pace somewhere. But of course that's just my opinion and I know others will completely be 100% the opposite to that.
Personally, I think Lewis Hamilton is probably the quickest man on a single flying lap (although Vettel comes close) but he's only great when things are going his way. He only ever seems 2 minutes away from having a sulk.

Alonso for me is the best all round driver. He often eeks out more performance from a car than you would think was possible. His tyre management skills are a cut above the rest and he just has that racing edge compared to some of the other drivers. I know he was teammates with Lewis at McLaren but I think he has improved since then, they both have.

Vettel is still only 28 years old and has the ability to be a true great. I'm a Ferrari fan but I surprised myself as to how quickly I came to like Vettel after hating him for 4 years.
