Since the "teammates" discourse has reignited between Max and Lewis fans, here is the best take I've heard on it coming from Jenson Button-

Shortened down answer: “Max is more adaptable than Lewis and can drive harder to handle cars than Lewis. Therefore Max is the better driver” And I fully agree, Lewis needs a compliant car suited to his specific needs. Max doesn’t, Max can drive anything quickly.

Max's strongest Ability is not enough talked about, changing conditions he's best at knowing limits, change in car, he knows how to drive around it. It's his adaptibility

To summarise Lewis has had better teammates Newey gives Max rocket cars.

Max would have never lost a title fight against Nico Rosberg in the same car

Using Button say that the entire team is designed around him as prop is crazy 😭 he's literally saying he's only fast because the team will favour him

Jenson absolutely hates Lewis. he's made so many digs at Lewis over the years.

"I wouldn't want to go against Max" is the end of the argument. Lots of great drivers could have been Max's teammate. None of them took the opportunity. Redbull tried to recruit Lewis, Lewis didn't take it. Lando didn't take it. Drivers avoid Max. Nobody has ever run from Lewis.

called max a newey merchant

Very tough teammates for Lewis. Alonso in 07 (while team was favouring Lewis), Kovalainen 😂😂, Button, a mediocre driver who won a championship cuz no other team was competitive. Bottas, the most famous no2 driver and Rosberg, who is the same level as Jenson.
