Lewis Hamilton the only driver that compares to Ayrton Senna, says Brazilian's former teammate Berger

Ayrton Senna's former teammate Gerhard Berger says Lewis Hamilton is the only driver he rates on the same level as the Brazilian legend.

Three-time world champion Senna is regarded by many to be the greatest driver in F1 history. Hamilton entered F1 in 2007 with a yellow helmet in tribute to his boyhood hero and has now surpassed him in terms of wins and championships, with 75 victories and five titles to his name and only Michael Schumacher's name ahead of him in both categories. In 2017 Hamilton surpassed the pole position record of 65 set by Senna.
