With his brilliance in the wet and his ability to construct the perfect lap when he needs it most, Lewis Hamilton, 32, is proving to a younger Formula One audience that he is the Ayrton Senna of this generation. 
And in Monza last weekend, he again showed just why he is so highly regarded.
It is in conditions such as those in Monza that the class acts deliver.
Hamilton, more than any other driver today, understands how and where to find the grip when it pours.
He looked so relaxed in Monza - he was even on his PlayStation in the motorhome during the rain delay - and the margin by which he won must be fairly demoralising for his rivals, not least his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.
In changing weather he adapts brilliantly.
With every lap, you have confidence that he will find an extra edge. Monza is certainly a track that clearly plays to his strengths.
But even though 79% of the circuit is taken at full throttle, achieving the perfect lap is by no means straightforward.
Both Curva Grande and Ascari are seriously high-G corners, and there is a real art to finding the path of least resistance. Hamilton, just as Senna did in his prime, always appears to know exactly where it is.
For all that, Hamilton was the star once again.
