I would disagree absolutely with that.
To start with, the cars of Clarks era were by comparison to modern F1 a simple car to drive...with no downforce and low grip there was plenty of feel for a skilled driver to exploit
A modern F1 car with high downforce and ultra sticky wide tyres are a far more difficult car to drive at the limit.
As for Senna vrs Hamilton - its always just a personal opinion - I see the same skills in Hamilton as I did in Senna. Never more starkly demonstrated by Hamiltons rookie year in F1...just exceptional.
