Re: The 100 Greatest of All Time (Update)

In your opinion we could say the same of Hamilton in 2017 and 2018, certainly 2008. The key here is that neither 2008 or 2018 were won against Verstappen. They were won against Massa, Raikkonen and Vettel. Mercedes was the best car in 2017, in my view, so I don’t count that one. Raikkonen finished ...

Re: PF1 Forum TMW 2024 prediction thread 4: Ferrari and McLaren

Stats tell us that Leclerc is faster both in qualifying and the race however WDC points don't always reflect that, Sainz was very close to going 2-1 against Leclerc, a point perhaps relevant to another discussion on the board, however you always have to favour the faster driver and that's Leclerc. ...

Perez is 34 and I don’t think he’s got anything left in him at this stage, there’s a Webber 2013 vibe around Perez at the moment where everyone can feel that he’s on his last legs.

This is my question mark.

On the other hand, I'd expect Vasseur...

Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

just like "black" may be interpreted as "white". This kind of argument makes no sense and would not stand infront of a legal court fex. 'Any' and 'all' are not akin to 'black' and 'white.' Replace 'any' with 'none' and you have a genuine comparison. https://www.michbar.org/file/generalinfo/plaineng...

Not for those who remain lapped.
But fairness is not the key issue. Otherwise, the rules would find a way to avoid safety cars / mid-race stoppages (or whatever else may artificially bunch up the field).
