Formula One has found the quickest route to an argument by publishing a list of fastest drivers determined by an algorithm.
The late Brazilian triple world champion Ayrton Senna was deemed quickest, based on machine learning technology provided by official partner Amazon Web Services and comparing qualifying performances between team-mates.
Seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher was rated 0.114 seconds slower, while six-times champion Lewis Hamilton, who boasts a record 92 pole positions, was third (0.275) and Max Verstappen fourth (0.280).
Other names jarred in comparison to such high achievers, with the list derided on social media.
And here's the top 1️⃣0️⃣!

Heikki Kovalainen, who bowed out of Formula One in 2013 with one pole position and one win after 111 starts, including two years at McLaren in Hamilton's shadow, ranked a surprising eighth.
In terms of success, Kovalainen does not rank even among Formula One's top three Finns.
Italian Jarno Trulli, another one-race winner who was famed for qualifying well and then holding up a string of faster cars at the head of a 'Trulli Train' during the race, came in ninth.
Four-times world champions Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost were 10th and 20th respectively.
There was no mention of Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya, whose 262kph average speed in qualifying at Monza for Williams in 2004 was the fastest lap in Formula One history until Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen - another omission - averaged 263kph in 2018.
Champions Nigel Mansell and Mika Hakkinen did not feature, but McLaren's Lando Norris, in only his second season, was 15th.
Despite Formula One talking up the "fastest driver of all time", the ranking also featured data only from 1983 to the present day - just over half of the sport's 70 championship seasons.
The Formula One website said the algorithm gave a higher ranking to drivers who either dominated team-mates in qualifying or showed up well against strong team-mates.
