Alonso simply has a huge ego, look what it got him..

Henri Royce

Rosberg made a mess of a championchip that could have been so much more easily won by him. Yes, Lewis stole the momentum off Nico mid season, particularly in Germany I felt his season was over. The press had written him off, saying he was psychologically gone. HOWEVER, the fact that Rosberg came ou...

The best wet weather driver is Hamilton and then Verstappen.

Henri Royce

(1) What are you talking about? How can you say that the Renault qualified like the McLaren version 1 when the data say the exact opposite? (2) There is no heart loss at play here.. Lewis lost his Australian (big) points and was unlucky in some instances. (3) It is very dishonest to say that Alonso...

2009: the Renault car was much slower than the McLaren-Mercedes. Alonso/Renault scored just 1 podium (3rd place), Ham/McLaren 5 (incl 2x 1st, 1x 2nd and 2x3rd); Alonso/Renault 5x top six places, Ham/McL 8x top six places. There was no comparison between the two cars; the McL-M was almost as fast as...

Of all the options available to Mercedes, he's the 'safest'. Alonso would have been interesting but nowhere near as bad as 2007. Werhlein is unproven and probably would've caused more headaches than Rosberg ever did. At the very least, Merc now have a relatively strong driver line-up, although not ...

Vettel 1
Hamilton 2

Rosberg 4

Kimi 5

Alonso should have 4 atleast mate..

Henri Royce

Fernando would crush Hamilton into tiny dust particles if he joined the dream team. But I think Mercedes must have a German driver in the team, and there are some very good options to make that happen. So if Fernando joins, Mercedes must fire Hamilton for his dirty tactics in Abu Dhabi and then the...

Henri Royce

You seriously overrate Alonso way too much, Massa was in many occasions faster then Alonso so how on earth do you think Alonso would be faster then Hamilton. Alonso is not that good as people like and media try to make out he is. TBH i'm so tired of people like posting this kind of sonsense about s...

Henri Royce

If Mercedes play fair and stop blowing up Hamilton's engines there is not a driver on the grid that can better Hamilton. If Alonso couldn't put Hamilton away as a rookie, I wonder what makes people think he can do so now. I woudn't even be close. I see some already making excuses talking about it b...

I agree that Alonso would probably take the Merc drive. Imo he is confident enough going against Hamilton (or anyone else) and would slightly shade Lewis (or anyone else) in wins if paired. But not so sure Lewis would be thrilled. He had to pull out all stops to beat Rosberg, but Alonso would be 's...

Henri Royce

Who say's Mercedes wants him ?. When Alonso black mailed McLaren who do you think paid for the fine ? lol, Mercedes did. And the fact that he rejected Mercedes when they asked if he wanted to race for them, RBR he rejected too. So i bet my house it won't be Alonso and i wouldn't seeing him at Merced...

Henri Royce

To those saying why Alonso.... He finished 10th in the WDC in the 7th best car. Easily out performed his WDC team mate and regularly finished higher than the car should have done. I don't really see what else he could do. It's much easier to make mistakes when racing in the pack than when you're ou...

It's funny, I really have become an Alonso fan since he left Ferrari. However, I am not sure about all the Alonso praise he is receiving this year on this forum. There were certainly weekends when he extracted more out of the car than many others could, and he handily outperformed Button. But there...

Henri Royce

I'm so tired of people here putting Alonso first while he has done absolutely nothing special. Alonso is also a driver who is poor in the rain just like Vettel, IMO the best ones are the ones who master the rain/wet conditions.

1. Hamilton
2. Verstappen
3. Ricciardo
4. .....
5. .....

Henri Royce

I don't believe this and even if so i think Mercedes-Benz said NO to Alonso.

Henri Royce

Don't even start about Malaysia 2012 becaue Alonso only won that race becaus McLaren messed up Hamilton's two pitstops, one of seven seconds and the other 11 seconds. Afther Hamilton and Alonso came in for the last pitstop Alonso was still behind Hamilton and only got infront of Hamilton because Ha...

Henri Royce

Maybe in qualification but Rosberg lacks Alonso's tenacity to keep it up during a whole race. Alonso is a relentless machine on race days which is how he often puts noncompetitive cars where they shouldn't be at the race end. Ooohh please not again this nonsense. Rosberg is nowhere near Alonso on r...

Henri Royce

I like Nico. But I'm realistic about where he stands. He's the mid 2010s Felipe Massa, there or thereabouts. Maybe a few less mistakes. But overall the same level in my book. Check how far away Rosberg was from Massa in 2010-2012, especially 2010, when Mercedes was nowhere near Ferrari. Rosberg is ...

The part about Nico and Alonso being on the same level: er, what?

I agree with Lauda on that one, people are overrating Alonso too much.

The last two posts by Royce are more than a bit simplistic to say the least. I am not naive as to the roll the U.S. has played in issues in the middle East, but to think that all of killing is due to "America greed" is to bury one's head in the sand. To those who have served their countries, Thank ...

I think western troops should just stay the hell away from anything happening there! Not that I don't think any innocents should not be protected, but what good is trying to help innocents in the area at the request of 'friendly' governments when all around the area there is so much internal confli...

I've been thinking about Alonso motivations in Formula One and it seems to be dominated by the desire to win a third title to match Senna and then retire from the sport to pursue his cycling or other forms of racing. If so then his move to McLaren on a 3 year deal makes very little sense. I appreci...

Henri Royce

Or maybe it's the fact that McLaren has been quietly going about recruiting lots of top-rated engineers and aerodynamicists in a thoughtful way (unlike Ferrari, which just seems to have been recruiting in a completely scatter-brained way), and also the fact that Honda has won Grand Prix races in ev...

I don't see the Bahrain win as option, winning the race on slower tires without DRS. That was a serious handicap and still won due skills.

Oh dude seriously shut it with your Hamilton lying to the stuwards, and even if he did so so what ?. Would you betray your own team members for a orgnization that took away your victory a year before ?, to a organization that came up all of a sudden with a rule to punish you ?. I bet you would betr...

I'm trying to work with you, Pokerman, despite your earlier condescension. I didn't say that Hamilton's claims had no justification. What I did say, though, was in answer to your question. You were the one who asked, "where's the empathy for Hamilton earning equal status by his performances on the ...
