DynastyDaily verdict
Hamilton has 3 more titles and double the wins, but Verstappen got there in fewer seasons and has dominated the regulation reset era. The DynastyDaily call: Hamilton remains the statistical GOAT today; Verstappen is on track to surpass him by 2030 if Red Bull's competitiveness holds.
