Honestly, who knows. All depends on track I suppose.
Miami is a stinker. Las Vegas was actually really good. But overall F1 cars, as the pinnacle of motorsport, should be on real tracks.
I'd swap ANY street circuit for Bathurst.

Re: Hamilton vs Leclerc
Genuinely going to be one of the most interesting driver battles in a long time. I think Charles will make a huge effort early on to stamp his authority and will likely do better over the first 3-6 races. From then on I think Hamilton will continue to improve and the mind game will begin. There will...

Re: Best team ever
I just tried it on % of max constructor points available and if my sums are right, McLaren take it for '1988 again with 1988 McLaren (199/240) = 83% 2023 RBR (860/1058) = 81% Interesting to hypothesize what RB's tally would be had they had a driver pairing comparative to McLaren 1988.

Re: If Vettel Joins New Team in 2015 Would Credibility Be Lo
My view is this. Vettel has always wanted to drive for Ferrari and with Alonso leaving that opportunity opens up. Ferrari get to say they have a 4 time WDC. If he stayed at Red Bull and Ricciardo beat him handily for another season then maybe that Ferrari drive never materialises. I do think his cre...
