I disagree, I would say that Alonso is the strongest one. I ask myself how many current drivers could resist having Michael Schumacher behind during 20 laps.
Nico the worst? ok he sucumbs against Lewis when they battle togerther but he has remained three years battling against him under a great pressure, while all the media and fans keep repiting that he is not good enough to defeat Lewis. Even with this he managed to battle for the championship until the last race in 2014 and he is doing the same now. This is far from being the weakest.
1) I agree about Kvyat having speed and talent. You don't get where he has without it. Does he have enough to be at the top of the F1 ladder? Absolutely not. Max Verstappen has stepped into an unknown car and delivered results which Kvyat couldn't after a full winter with the car. His mental disintegration has been a free fall and unfortunately, I feel his Formula 1 career is over enough to not win GP or championships. There are a plethora of F1 drivers that have been on the podium and even won races who simply don't cut it. Kvyat is one of them. F1 is all about consistency in speed and results and he's far from it.
2) Alonso is a brilliant driver. I'd not know whether to argue he's the best today or not because of the presence of Hamilton and Vettel so I believe that these three are at the same level with their own strengths and weaknesses. Is he the best under pressure? In my opinion, no he isn't but I respect your opinion when you say he is.
3) Your third point about Rosberg is simply an illusion. It's what Rosberg's challenge against Hamilton has been. In 2014, the stupid double points rule took the title battle to the last race. Who had more mechanical failures in 2014 upto the last race? Just to point out- Rosberg has won 7 races this year of which in 4 Hamilton has started 10th or worse. In the other three races, Hamilton has been 4th or below after Lap 1. I think, if the two Mercedes cars finish, it will generally be 1-2. Such is their dominance over the field. It is this car advantage that has helped Rosberg stay in touch in the championship. Even then, Rosberg has not been shy of some absolutely piss poor races. Mind you, a lot of people think Hamilton has been on form this year, but fact is that he has blown a bit hot and cold. If you see his performance from 2007 or 2012, he would obliterate Rosberg. So, while the championship table shows a gap of a negligible 2 points, fact is that Rosberg doesn't have a prayer if Hamilton has a 'normal' weekend.
"Sebastian there's very, you're a member of a very select few.. Stewart, Lauda, Piquet, Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Fangio.. VETTEL!"
