Re: Which was the most dominant car in history
Finally a poll I can participate in without needing much time deliberating. Clearly the McLaren MP4/4. The only reason it didn't score a clean sweep was a little misunderstanding at the Monza chicane. No other car could come close, as the only other "competitive" (read: turbo) cars were less perfor...

Re: Potential disciplinary action against Hamilton by Merced
I think the Elephant in the room that all the Hamilton detractors are completely ignoring is that Merc said that their drivers would be free to race for the championship in this race. Given that the only way Hamilton could possibly win the championship would be for Nico to be off the podium then i ...

Re: Potential disciplinary action against Hamilton by Merced
Perhaps before insulting others... And you do that... You should give thought as to just what a headache Hamilton's actions have created for his employers. I repeat what I have posted before...

Mercedes can't honestly expect him to obey a team order which ends his championship fight. This is just face saving from Mercedes.

Re: WDC's Number of Season Losses to a Teammate - Vettel lea
Senna only lost to Prost in 1989 but poorer reliability for Senna and an ultimate decision in Prost's favour heavily affected the outcome there. Neither Prost or Senna got the trashing Seb got in 2014. Also this season it hasn't been a convincing beating of Kimi either.
