Re: Top 170 - Most successful F1 drivers
For instance Fernando Alonso is one of my favorite drivers, and I would personally rank him considerably higher. But his move to McLaren has resulted in only two podiums in 57 races, and that doesn't collect many ranking points. The past three years has dropped him several places down the list, and...

Re: Brawn: I couldn't Trust Wolff & Lauda
Spot on POB! Toto somehow bought shares in Williams, yet was hired on at Mercedes in a high position that rivaled that of the man who took them to a championship after floating the entire team on his back with very little outside money. How he weaseled his way to that position is beyond me because ...

Re: 2016 European GP - Baku, Free practices
A bit off topic, but how is it that classic circuits have been neutered to within an inch of their lives in the name of safety, but Baku somehow breezes through FIA safety assessments. The track is less than four people standing arm to arm wide in places.

Raikkonen is not performing to Vettels standard this year and I don't think Vettel is at 100% either. Kimi is passed it. When was the last time he did something good? How many facepalm moments have there been in the last couple of years. I think he's lucky he is not up against an on top of his game ...

Re: Rosberg Vs Hamilton Spanish gp crash. The debate
There seems to be a perception here that if you have a little bit of your nose alongside the rear wheel of the car in front you have won the corner.
Hamilton's fault all day long. Rosberg finally putting his foot down. And he can afford to.

Vettel had plenty of room between him and Kvyat. Contact was made because he chinked left into Raikkonen on his own accord, not because Kvyat forced him to do anything.
