You need to read some of the books I'm afraid. I've heard a lot of anecdotes as well, but books like the "edge of greatness" give a bit more details. For example, stark contrast to the "I love you guys, we are so blessed" routine, Schumacher would know the people in the factory by first name and ro...

That was some off-weekend for Bottas. I don't expect him to challenge Hamilton every race, but the gulf here was enormous. The Russel incident was unfortunate for both, but what we he doing being passes by a Williams anyway? Yes the chasm in quality and skill between Bottas and Hamilton was simply ...

. Due to the recovery, Hamilton. What did Max do that was equivalent ? For the last few years Hamilton has often been denied votes in the "driver of the day" threads because he basically just led from start to finish - but now that Max does that he gets loads of votes. Hilarious. . . Aight man. :lol:

I just have Max and Lando. The only two that made sense frankly. Stroll did a solid job, but was penalised for passing outside the track, so I don't think I can give him the nod I've switched my vote from Stroll to Leclerc because I was unaware of the penalty at the time, and Leclerc has said he co...

^ Didn't someone earlier liken this to Canada 2011? On that day Vettel did not put a foot wrong until the very final lap. Button, by contrast, had a first half to forget. Yet he is remembered for what was at the time a stand-out win. I guess if they both had mistakes, then it doesn't make such a di...

Siao7

I don't really understand the votes or considerations for Hamilton. Yes he maximised the result and looked good everywhere other than his mistake, but had russell and Bottas not collided, Hamilton likely would have only been able to recover into the tail end of the points. I can accept he was in a ...

Mercedes back on top it seems.

Max was way off though, not sure how representative this was.

What's wrong with Ricciardo?
His fastest time had gotten him to P11 but that lap time was deleted for exceeding track limits.

That makes sense. Thank you

That's what I mentioned above, but in 2007-08 it was obvious he'd ignore RB; Macca have been sponsoring him since his first steps in motor racing, I doubt that he'd turn his back on them after his first year there. 2009-2010 would be more realistic, after seeing that he was treated as a Nr2 and hav...

Imagine that he had agreed to play second-fiddle to Alonso that year. Even a repeat of Moss-Fangio would have lead to an epic fallout regardless. Hamilton was too close to Alonso (i.e. winning multiple races on his ability unlike Fisi, Piquet Jr or Massa) for him to be comfortable, even as team lea...

... I really have no idea what Hamilton would have achieved in Schumacher's block. He might not have even become Champion. There's no guarantee that Schumacher would have found equal opportunity in Hamilton's block or that he ends up with the most dominant team. We assume they were talented enough ...

I feel that possibly Schumacher was lucky that he joined when he joined. Back then he could add more value with these things, especially as he had experience working as a mechanic when he was young. Nowadays most things are done with simulation and less on-track testing. So maybe if he joined in 20...

I think it is a very interesting take from myattitude actually - certainly not fantasy in any way. Schumacher revolutionized many aspects of the sport, the likes of which very few others have been able to achieve. Senna before him started with the importance of fitness, and Schumacher took it to an...

Where would Trulli fit in amongst today's grid? He seems a bit Bottas like with the quick in qualifying but not as strong on a Sunday. I have a group of Bottas/Norris/Sainz/Perez/Ocon (not in order) that are fairly similar and get the impression he might be in there but probably towards the back of...

How about Trulli? Teamed with Katayama, Panis, Frentzen, Button, Alonso, Ralf Schumacher, Glock and Kovalainen.

This is a valid point I guess, but I was not really trying to oppose this. Just the idea of comparing a half year against a full year as the original post did between 1999 and 2016. MS didn't run for 44% of 1999, you can understand that that was a much smaller pool than a full year. That's with Win...

I'd be cautious about predicting performance in wet conditions, especially with what seems to be a quite profound difference in aspects of handling for the Mercedes car as compared to recent seasons. Is some of that stuff going to be particularly sensitive in wet conditions? Maybe I should have sai...

Precisely. Does anyone believe that Irvine and Barichello were better than Schumacher. Does anyone believe that Button and Rosberg were better than Hamilton? Next - would you put those four drovers in roughly the same bracket? I would say no to the first, and also no to the second. Both Schumi and ...

Verstappen defending, I can't remember many examples if I'm honest I'll be very impressed if Verstappen can drive off into the distance in the wet. I expect Hamilton to be sat on his gearbox for most of the race. If the quali is wet, I expect Hamilton to be ahead and Max not being able to catch up.

What? Michael entered 10 races in 1999. In those 10 races, Irvine out scored him. The missed races are removed. I think you'll find that he wasn't included for Silverstone.

That's perhaps the best chance for Hamilton to win the race.
It'll be interesting to see Verstappen with track position in the race. They might both end up in the wall!

Can we please move on from this tedious semantics? He was even beaten by Alonso driving the horrid 2011 Ferrari - ouch! ...and if Alonso had been in the Ferrari in 2018, Hamilton would still have beat him over the season in a marginally inferior car!

So we've established that both Schumacher and Hamilton lost to teammates in specific years due to explainable circumstances. In all cases, they beat the same teammates over other seasons.

Not sure they are exactly the same, but sure.
