Re: 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread

I watched the race twice now, and have read much of the commentary in this forum. I am a long time Hamilton fan, but I also like Max and what he brings. Remember this - "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games,” Ernest Hemingway. A ...

Re: 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Race Thread

I haven't posted here in years. But having read all the poeple defending Max, I have to ask what would he have to do before you admited he was in the wrong? He should be disqualified for the brake testing alone.


P.S
Michael Massi was shocking today.

Re: Would Lewis win the world Championship in a Ferrari?

You can never 100% know but my money would be on him for both 2017 and, especially, 2018. 2019 is a much more difficult one to look at. I think Lewis would likely have done a far better job to this point in the season than Vettel has. That's not really saying much because Vettel has made monumental...

Re: Why were Merc telling their drivers....

If Hamilton had a decent set of Mediums left for that last stint, their estimate might have been accurate but they had to have known that he didn't so it really is a head-scratcher. They took a smack to the face in this race and it will be a wake-up call to the team. In spite of Red Bull's incessan...

If Alonso is coming to Mclaren in 2015, the team can afford to fill their other seat with a younger driver, with an eye on...

I vote Hamilton because they are both about equally well rounded but Hamilton has the edge in quickness and speed. It's slim, but as with all things in F1, it's the slimmest of margins that make the difference. In 100% Equal machinery I don't think anyone could best Hamilton with enough consistency...
