Yeah, look, i think some of the points you make here are fair enough. No doubt. He's hasn't had any competition this season. None. However, as you said, he certainly did in 2021 (again, in a car that wasn't clearly the best) and he won it by being the best driver overall. Of course you can disagree, but that's my opinion on it. The reason i bring it up, is because he's clearly shown that he can do it when under pressure and when it matters. He's not just simply a driver who can look good when he got nobody behind him and an empty track in front. Don't think you're necessarily saying that, but just wanted to make that point.
Last season he did have Leclerc for a bit before both he and Ferrari shit the bed. I'm not going to say to was a nail biter, but it was there...for a bit! Anyway, I'm saying all this, again, to highlight that he has had competition and he comes out on top, while also agreeing that i would love to see him have more, becuase i genuinely think it would push him on even further. We've seen it a few times this season in Quali. The times when he really needed to pull it out of the bag, or when he's angry, he fecking nails it.
And, yeah, the final point, is that a lot of what you mention, there's so much luck involved that has nothing (or very little) to do with the driver. A lot of this stuff is out of their hands. He wins three in a row (which he obviously will do) then RB shit the bed for whatever reason and struggle. He moves to a team, but they also struggle, similar to what happened to Alonso, then that's really not on him. I really do consider Alonso a GOAT, and he's nowhere near the titles of some of the other GOAT contenders. But just watch the man race. Ultimately, much like when we talk about football players and argue about "well he hasn't won this trophy, etc." Yeah, but just watch him, man! It's there. He's a GOAT, for me. Not the GOAT becuase that's simply impossible to rank. But he's there. His race craft is exceptional.
