What was Vettel's top 3 best ever race?

With Vettel, he's had some great races over the years including some insane wins. But for me, in his top 3 wins of all time, 2 of them aren't even wins. Imo, his top 3 races ever are:

1: Abu Dhabi 2012-Pit lane start, climbed all the way up the field at Abu Dhabi's old configuration, a track notorious for being insanely hard to overtake and Vettel climbed it twice after a damaged wing change forced him back down to last or near last, in the end he climbed up to a podium place albeit with a bit of luck from a Hamilton DNF, but regardless Pit lane to Podium at old Abu Dhabi was insanity. Imo this was the race where Alonso silently conceded the fact that Seb was probably going to win 2012, Vettel's relentless hunger was insane.

2:Monza 2008-His first win being one of his best as well is also something. On a rainy Monza weekend he put it on pole and put a dominant drive to win in the rain as his first win in a Torro Rosso(Yes I know Torro Rosso went with a rain set up and the Brembo's worked better in the rain compared to the CI's but it's a freaking Torro Rosso at Monza in the rain!!!). Imo, the best first win from any driver ever, this race showed Vettel was a world champion in waiting.

3: Germany 2019-Once again a rain soaked race, Seb starting dead last and climbed all the way to second place with a win being well within the cards had Max recovered slightly longer after his spin. This race reminded me that Vettel was actually a really underrated rain driver, if only it was a win redemption for 2018.

Why does it feel like Lewis Hamilton doesn't get much respect?

Geniune question: I'm a new F1 fan, but I'm very surprised that it feels like online discourse never gives much props & respect to Hamilton, as they do for Verstappen, Senna, Schumaker, etc.

I imagine part of it is that he's still racing, but I see a lot more respect for Max Verstappen than Hamilton.

For winning 7 championships with 2 constructors, I'd imagine he'd essentially be viewed as the LeBron or Jordan of F1.

Is there something with his wins that make his career 'less impressive'?
