And also some drops of Fangio. It's a rather splendid edit.

Here's a nice interlude for the thread...

Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton.

Invade

Is Hamilton within Schumacher's margin of error? Probably. However, as Invade states in his post a small, consistent advantage leads very often to clean sweeps. Button was a bad 2008 from sweeping Barrichello and Hamilton was a bad 2011 from sweeping Button. This isn't quite what I said, or what I ...

Invade

Also, didn't Verstappen start to develop a very decisive advantage over Ricciardo through 2017 and 2018? Didn't he start to carve out something like a 0.2 second advantage? If so, that's quite immense against someone of Ricciardo's calibre, who is a very highly regarded qualifier. Not so much 2017....

Invade

To clarify my position for any poor soul who is interested... If Hamilton and Schumacher played out their careers at the same time, as same-age contemporaries, and happened into comparable situations of opportunity, who would come out ahead? F1 throws enough BS at drivers that there is an awful lot ...

Invade

Hands up if since reading / contributing to this thread, you've changed your mind over who's the best out of MS and LH? I've shifted from a position of it being a toss-up with Schumacher prevailing over time to a narrow but consistent Schumacher edge. Although, I'd put this down to team dynamics an...

Invade

Maybe 2022 will reinvigorate some folks. Or maybe even 2021 if Red Bull can prove superiority over Mercedes.

Invade

Does Nico Hulkenberg going AM put pressure on Vettel? That's a high profile reserve driver! I don't think so, but if Vettel doesn't improve signficantly on that opening weekend you have to wonder at what point would the team consider subbing Nico. It's way to early to judge Vettel yet, but if he's ...

Invade

Some people have decided that Verstappen is the fastest driver in the history of mankind because of the way he handles his teammates. There is a movement that wants to paint Max Verstappen as the second coming of Schumacher rather than the guy actually matching and surpassing his records (who they ...

Invade

One aspect of mental strength where both Schumacher and Hamilton are ferocious is the desire to keep winning and winning. We don't know, but I doubt someone like Ricciardo has this trait. If he had joined Mercedes instead of Hamilton in 2013/14 then by this point he'd have probably been sated and lo...

Invade

"instrumental", yep that's a common one too. I just find it frustrating that there are no examples of the kind of things he did. If I was to go as far as describing a member of my team at work as "instrumental" I like to think I'd be able to then cite plenty of examples that justify that. Things li...

Invade

The notion that Hamilton is mentally weak is one of the most absurd currently being pedalled in all of sport on the internet right now - lol. Acting out? Sure. Sometimes volatile? Yes. Mentally weak? No. Mentally less strong than Schumacher? Maybe. But then again maybe not. Mental strength manifests...

Invade

I think the whole Rosberg-Schumacher dynamic says a lot more about Rosberg than it does Schumacher, which is then bolstered quite reasonably with what happened afterwards with Rosberg-Hamilton. ... that Nico Rosberg was a very fine F1 racer, who was able to produce admirable performance against two ...

Invade

The latest Beyond the Grid podcast with the Brackley crew is worth listening to. Some sorta Hamilton vs Schumacher stuff in there. Schumacher had weaknesses and knew about them and would work on them, but they attribute this mainly to his age. Hamilton - no weaknesses, and constant improvement, whic...

Invade

I'm legit confused about how people could be confused about Verstappen having a very solid argument for being the best qualifier on the grid. InB4 he claims more pole positions this season than Hamilton has managed in any of his F1 seasons (granted -- he'll have 23 races to do it). Get used to Vers...

THREE TENTHS a lap?

If so, R.I.P Mercedes.

Honda will also consider being more aggressive with their PU for the races.

Invade

Max was terrible I can't believe he didn't win the race.

Invade

I guess it's true. Years means more than one I suppose, and he's the best since the 2019 crop. But OK that's a cheeky answer. We all know the sort of cache such a statement is generally supposed to carry. Years meaning... much more than one. It's a strange claim to make after just one race, especial...

0.0 Leclerc, Verstappen +0.05-0.2 Hamilton, Russell +0.2 Ricciardo +0.3 Bottas, Norris +0.35 Gasly, Sainz, Vettel +0.4 Ocon, Perez To rate Alonso, I will wait it out a few races. However I suspect I'll place him with Hamilton, Russell or Ricciardo. For Tsunoda, I reckon he'll be spotty in his rookie...

Invade

Also, Void, part of me wonders if some arrogance cost Verstappen? What if he just assumed it didn't really matter? That he'd just put Hamilton under pressure soon enough again and have more pass opportunities. And yet it never materialised. He never got another chance. It's the assumption I made — t...

Invade

I think Max is similar to Kimi but more outwardly brash. Does what he wants, doesn't do what he doesn't want to do. Doesn't say things because other people want to here them and won't play ball with the media (Verstappen refuses to appear on drive to survive) unless he wants to. Also a fan favourit...

Invade

We've only had one qualifying session but I'm comfortable in predicting that Alonso will smash Ocon this year and be seen as one of the drivers of the season. Heeeere we goo (ooo) ... I think it's too early to say that, qualifying was a bit of a mess with the yellow flags, that being said it looks ...

Invade

I think Max is a very straight and honest chap. I can't imagine him having a devious streak in him like Schumi or Alonso had, even though I'm sure he will continue to be a ferocious racer on track and sometimes a bit of a bully. He's about as straight-up a superstar as I've ever seen in sport really...

Invade

Except Vettel turns it into a real caricature. His skill in this area far surpasses the others. I see this as a fundamental problem because it's beyond a heat of the moment thing with him at this point. It's chronic blame deflection and sometimes at ridiculous odds to what is actually occurring in f...

Invade

With further time to reflect, and given a recent piece on THE-RACE*, I think it's obvious that Alonso is not particularly close to the limits of the car or his potential yet. He'll be much better within a few races. In terms of absolute performance I'm not sure his lap was even top-5. It was probabl...

Invade

It just depends on how much this mistake influences peoples views on his season. He obviously is continuing making mistakes, but his pace also showed that he may be able to get solid results. I have written a lot of what I've said without making it obvious enough that i'm basing his solid performan...

Invade

hmm, yea, i means loss of concentration or blank moment. Or anything else that would describe it. I can't defend him for the incident. I can't say it was a good weekend as a whole, I just thought he looked more comfortable with the car than he did most of last year in the early stages of the race. ...

You seem to be totally ignoring what i state right after what you have highlighted. It is the fact that he still shows great skill a lot of the time. That is why I concider it a few to many as if he didn't put in these solid performances in between, then i wouldn't have put it this way. Last year c...

Ok, who's the Joker who voted for Mazepin.

Mazepin, I presume.

Are Vettel's spins positive or negative?

Has a study of this been conducted at the quantum level?

Thanks in advance.

What does that say about Mark Webber though? I mean he was often getting trounced by Quad-Villeneuve!

Invade

https://i.imgur.com/qReCIaC.png Source - Imgur I disagree. He drove well but with the best car the progress he achieved was rather ordinary. It’s the typical driver in front running car being at the back and getting back to where the car should be by overtaking a load of slower cars. As I’ve said b...

I am not convinced at all that Mercedes was a slower car when Bottas was basically matching Hamilton’s race pace throughout the entire race. I agree — it's not totally clear. I do think Merc had a MARGINALLY slower car, but that it was close to equal on race pace. Also responded to you about this i...

It wasn't just Hamilton. Every driver except for Max was a master of F1 rules today.

It's a pleasure to see a grid so replete with absolute geniuses.
