You're going against everything said and done by Vettel over the last two years I think. Nothing suggests he uses Raikkonen as just a dummy he can outshine. The last time Ferrari allowed their drivers to compete for the title, they lost the 2008 WDC. They have long memories at Maranello which is wh...

Ferrari dominance would probably kill the sport's popularity further. While Mercedes dominance was boring, at least Hamilton and Rosberg were close in pace. Vettel vs Raikkonen would just be Vettel vs Webber Round 2. Oh god, Ferrari having the best car and team orders... Flashes back to 2004, 2002,...

Bottas (Who my wife calls Tiny Cat for some reason),
Verstappen,
Massa.

How about Jaboiulle in 80 or 81?

He only finished 4 races, and scored points twice, both wins.

Even if the car was fast, surely the reliability made him a huge 'underdog'?

@ Gothnak: I follow your reasoning, but Imo this is perhaps based on Packages and their qualy- or race-times. Once the driver is 'removed; from the package to leave the Car alone, the pictures can be quite different. Looking at qualy and race-results say for 1992, it seems that the Senna/McLaren-Ho...

I have a question for your stats. You say the Mercedes of the last few years aren't quite as all conquering as some cars in the past, but these days racing has become more about conservation and reliability. Over the past Red Bull & Merc years i can barely remember a race where the leaders didn't ba...

Make it all about the tyres, and remove blooming DRS then see where we are with it.

What made F1 boring wasn't lack of overtakes to begin with, it's the utter dominance of a single team in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016... It gets old, people dont want to see their favourite drivers racing for 3rd position while 2 other cars cruise around to easy wins in every race. Precisely this. ...

Gothnak

No offense but I think you need a new sport to follow. It's one thing to take issue with several things, it's a whole other ballgame when everything about it bothers you. It's not quite everything is it? It's a lack of understand the basics of allowing overtaking in a non artificial way. If you sor...

I've been watching F1 since around 1981 and until the Schuey years i never missed a race. Since then i watch what i can, but it's no longer the 'must see' sport of my youth. Every year i say: 1. Restrict all Aero Grip - The reason is twofold. Firstly, Aero Grip is affected by the car in front and th...

I bloody knew it, 3 good races at the end of the season with results in the top 15, and miss the placings by 12 points after being miles behind....

I've met the guy who makes this down my local pub (We're both game developers in Guildford) and a few of my friends have helped make this.

Nice to be back on the podium myself, not to mention sneaking back into the top five overall. Given how strong Covalent has been (seven podiums on the year? That's ridiculously impressive!) I can't imagine it'd be possible to close a 100 point gap in six races, and I'd say Exediron's probably too f...

Jacques Villeneuve - Won in a clearly fastest car vs rubbish Coulthard, never did anything again.

So, I've suggested some in the past, but this one I really like, but it has no chance to be implemented... Each circuit of the year is assigned a single make format, such as...

the only thing that makes overtaking difficult is not being able to follow cars closely in corners due to aero so when you get on a straight your not close enough to effect a pass or even an attempt depending on straight length. Adding more aero is the wrong idea. They should just force a wider tyr...
