Who is Formula 1's most talented driver?

Lewis Hamilton or Ayrton Senna - who is the most talented driver?

It's a difficult question to answer and one BBC Sport readers are split on.

When we posed the question after Hamilton won his fourth world title last month the two drivers topped the vote with 29%.

Determining who is the most talented driver is, of course, a matter of opinion and attempting to compare drivers from different eras is difficult because of the significant changes in technology, reliability and human athleticism over the years.
 
So instead of trying to suggest who is better we will simply look at some of the statistics from both drivers' careers.

During his decade in Formula 1, Senna won 41 of his 162 races, making for a win percentage of 25.31%.

Hamilton, meanwhile, has won 62 of the 206 grands prix he has competed in and has a win percentage of 30.09%.
