Remembering Jerez 1997, the climax of a hectic championship battle between Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve.
It was the final race of the season and MSC led the championship by one point giving him a significant advantage heading to Jerez.
Weeks before the final showdown, Villeneuve and Williams already starting hinting at the possibility that Michael would try to use dirty tactics in case the race didn't go his way, the same way he'd done against Damon Hill in 1994. It was reiterated by driver and team over and over again, such was the reputation Michael had established for himself.
Then came race day and, who could've ever predicted it, when a faster Villeneuve went for the overtake on Schumi on Lap 48, the German didn't hesitate to turn in on his rival in an attempt of salvaging his world title.
It backfired spectacularly as he instead became stranded in the gravel and had to retire from the race, damned to watching Villeneuve cruise to a first world championship from the sidelines.
Michael was later disqualified from the entire season, leaving a huge stain on one of his best ever campaigns.
But just imagine that. Imagine having the reputation that people already know weeks in advance that you will happily crash into a competitor to secure a win. Imagine having such a reputation that in the moment of the crash, the commentators instantly recognize it for what it is and exclaim: "That didn't work Michael, you hit the wrong part of the car!"
I have huge respect for Michael and for me the gap to the next best driver after him is huge, but there's just one other driver who while being actively sabotaged by the governing body itself and put in an impossible situation still didn't even think about securing the title with grotesquely unsportsmanlike conduct. For that reason alone Lewis will forever be far ahead of Michael as the single Greatest Ever.
