I think Hulk and Dan deserve a tie

F1Oz

And for those who said Fangio had the best - well - Alfa yes but with 3-6 team mates and poor reliability and not favoured - then not the best V ferrari in 1952-53 - then best 54-55 - then best in Ferrari in 1956 - then second best (yes second best) in 1957 - only won because he beat other fantatic ...

It's interesting what people say in terms of comparisons - Dolomite has given some context but what is missing is the extreme danger in the early days compared to now - The reality is that there was 10% chance of DYING every time a driver raced in the 50s - and many did - so to even survive (let alo...

i hope McLaren get additional token(s) given unusual circumstances

F1Oz

perez would be perfect foil for max

F1Oz

DR was apparently McL first pick 2 yrs ago - but couldn't get him over line - while Sainz has done a great job - with a Merc engine next yr - is this a game changer - or will McL be compromised on integrating the engine in 2021 so not as competitive like Ferrari til rule changes?

F1Oz

. Quite hilarious "voting". When this topic started Hamilton got 10 or 12 votes very quickly, and Ricciardo only managed 2. Since then Ricciardo has just got more and more - it's almost like people are looking at the results and then coming on to vote for anyone other than Hamilton. Strange. . I vo...

F1Oz

were McLaren right to let Sainz go to get Ricciardo? Discuss (I can't see this in another post)

F1Oz

Its clear why this is called silly season

F1Oz

Personally I think Perez would be better bet and RP need to find $40M extra just to deal with the change

F1Oz

I wonder what the answer is for most expensive (or important) crash in terms of impact on championships?

What for instance would have happened if Senna didn't crash (or even didn't die) in 1994?

F1Oz

You honestly think if there is only one update package available in Sochi it will go to Perez? It's the updates ear marked for Perez's car, they needn't need to tell the world that Stroll's car was better last time out. You can't honestly believe Perez will get the updates and Stroll not if only on...

If not blocked temporarily by perez et al - fair racing I add - ricciaro would have got third easily

F1Oz

have to say that verstappen or Ricciardo would have won if in a McLaren - don't let the Hamilton show get out of hand - Mercedes have deliberately given a 2IC driver - others would push or beat Hamilton in the same car - Hamilton and Mercedes are chicken to refuse to allow this

F1Oz

I think it's clear max is a talent - but has had preferential treatment at team as well (not that it's been the main issue affecting his success I add)
Still - I'm less clear that max would perform in a midfield car - and not sure without preferential treatment he'd do as well as he has

F1Oz

Not even top 20

F1Oz

F1Oz

not sure why bottas didn't pit for softs 10 laps earlier - might have lost position to Verstappen but would surely have overtaken - madness

F1Oz

Good to see women racing at high levels - pity they seem to have to be 'fashion' or sex icons

- just let their racing talk

F1Oz

hard to vote for racing point when Nico didn't get to start - but he was equal given how things happened in practice and qualifying and may have outperformed Stroll if allowed to race - a pity he didn't get to start due to engine issues

Look forward to him racing next weekend

F1Oz

Glad I can log in today as it didn't recognise me for last 2 days (forum tech guys - what's happening?)

Why wasn't ferrari unsafe release addressed from qualifying - I've seen nothing but it appeared clear - just wanting to be informed

F1Oz

went for ric, stroll and russell - I know latter had issues late but he is in a williams - and others did what they should have with equipment - I mean lewis has the best car on grid, Verstappen lucky to start and with second best car on grid - they should have performed - results vs machinery guys

F1Oz

A bit of luck and a bit of reliability making the difference - I think the McLaren and Renault very well matched to date this season

F1Oz

For me, Verstappen, Norris & Perez. Special mention to Stroll. Stroll should have been penalised and lucky to have got what he got - Without that DR probably would have got 5th But Norris did a good job and I think Russell (except for his off) did a great job all weekend Racing point were a top 3 t...

i'd hope all lives matter - no ethnicity or gender involved - any suggestion that one life is more important than another is abhorrent to me

i hope that the BLM movement gets positive results where there has not been equity - and makes us view our past with a new lens

F1Oz

People who are using the 'all lives matter' phrase are either frighteningly ignorant or intentionally trying to remove the focus from black people because they are racist. It's amazing so many people are using it across the world. Mate - hope that isn't 'all' those - I used it and I am NOT trying t...

Surely its the end of Williams

I support all those who have suffered abuse or discrimination We have had protests in Australia - incorporating not only black lives matter from the US but black lives matter in Australia - where we have had a number of issues also What is important is to acknowledge that all lives matter I hope tha...

I got a month free for the official F1 site - to look at some videos and see what it was worth But after a couple of weeks - the access stopped The official site people - did not answer as to why (and still haven't) - my request to delete my account - hopefully has happened - but no response The rea...

The issue on value for money is also about whether the driver scores points - which can be worth a lot to teams It's clear DR was the priority for McLaren in 2016 - but their history for the years prior was what made DR go for the works team It's not clear Renault (or Merc) will stay the course - an...

Had a 30 day free trial to see archive videos - but after just 2 weeks it limits access to just current videos - so shonky

Hopefully others 'won't' try to join this shonky site

In 2010 I'd go so far as to put Kubica top. He was an absolute machine, whereas Hamilton made mistakes which cost him the Championship in Monza and Singapore. Rosberg will always been an enigma in that period as we don't really know how much speed MSC had lost. Much like Vettel always looking comfo...

F1Oz

it's an interesting concept - clearly those like Fangio/Senna/ Prost and more were fantatic - as they had to overtake on track - but the cars allowed that more easily In the modern era - Ricciardo is clearly the standout in a non dominant car - but some like Mark Webber was underrated as he often ha...

As I've said elsewhere - why not have a second Australian GP? Everything is set up, the teams don't have to move, I'm sure the organisers would issue discount tickets and Australia could give some priority to the country (ies) it substitutes for (perhaps)? If it wasn't a street track I think it wou...

F1Oz

How about we have Australia 1, Australia 2, Australia 3 and Australia 4? That would cover the first 4 races and they could probably cut some gaps if they don't have to pack up and move

One could trial a reverse grid even if points were not recorded - or some other options

F1Oz

squat - like the Ferrari

Ugly in fact - but that doesn't mean it isn't fast

F1Oz

I understand not paying money to produce a manakin car - but if so - just launch at test when it's all together

F1Oz

Unless changed to later this year (and perhaps even then) I suspect so

but if this turns into worldwide Pandemic - 2020 could be toast
