Re: Hahahahaha Vettel is funny

And how do you now it's not car AND driver? This we will not know until Vettel gets a top top team mate With varying driver performances (just look at Hamilton to see how up and down it can go) I don't think that's a valid statement. Moreover, Webber is a great benchmark for a teammate. Even if you...

This we will not know until Vettel gets a top top team mate, however we do know that the Red Bull has been overall the fastest car for a long time.

The Red Bull hasnt been the best car in ALL races but has been the best for the vast majority of all those 4 years... and if you think I'm wrong, prove it.
You gotta find hilarious that Vettel suddently hopes for equality for next year...

Re: Championships Schumi would have if he drove for Ferrari

You mean Schumacher at ferrari, at his actual age for each year?

He would've probably run close in 2007 and 2008, but after that, bye bye. He would've likely done even worse than Massa from 2010 to now.

Re: Is Lewis Hamilton a Jacques Villeneuve?

As JV, he made his debut with a very fast car, his two years were his most successful, and he enjoyed his best cars in his two first years. Also, at his third year, he went down dramatically. So far he is following his steps quite similarly.
