Re: Hamilton to lose more by losing WDC than gain by winning
To date he has had 4 team-mates and only actually outright beaten one of them That's a rather... unbalanced way to frame it. One of those teammates was Fernando Alonso, possibly the best driver in the field , and Hamilton held his own against him despite being a rookie at the time. There s no way t...

Re: Is Vettel's rep gone for good?
Right now, though, Vettel's trouncing is much greater than Kimi's. And his reputation is being dealt a blow of an entire order of magnitude larger than Kimi's. Seriously? Vettel has scored 63% of Ricciardo's points. Raikkonen has scored 33% of Alonso's points I'm not sure if you meant being beaten ...

Re: Hamilton to lose more by losing WDC than gain by winning
Yep _ I agree that Lewis needs to win this to save any kind of credibility as a top driver. If he loses , it will knock him out mentally as well because he starts to think if such a massive car advantage and team support couldnt get him to win - what will !! It is a must win scenario for him. OT- Al...

This is the first actual new one. In Spain they went back to a test chassis. In Monza they used his original (refurbished) chassis.

Making it clear again. The reason Dan won each of the races was because the Mercs had incidents. HAd they not , he would still have beaten Vettel in 2 of the 3 (bar HUngary) But the points diff would be around 30 odd.

Re: Difference between avoidable collisions and racing incid
Every collision is avoidable - if you dont mount the challenge. So avoidable / unavoidable collision is irrelavant in racing.
Best way to avoid a collision is to simply NOT start a race!
Racing Incident is a collision with No Clear Fault (or rule breaks involved)
