Jenson Button believes that Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton must race outside of Formula 1 to be considered all-time greats of motorsport.

Interesting take.

    I’m not sure, we still consider Vettel and Schumacher greats. I don’t recall them ever racing outside formula.

    Certainly the more championships you have the less relevant other motorsports are to be considered “great” imo.

      On the other hand a Le Mans or Indy 500 win would cement them as more than “just” a Formula 1 legend.
