Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
I raised this question to my mate who is a Verstappen fan just like me. Our conclusion: we would be disapointed if he would never be a world champion. However: G. Villeneuve was never a DWC and Hakkinen only twice. If he will get the same legacy as our old heroes we are happy enough, regardless of t...

Re: Renault re-branding to Alpine for next season!
I think Renault missed a trick here. They should have named the team after their budget brand: Dacia Racing. Also: hire James May.

Re: F1 talk down the pub
I live in a big city in The Netherlands. In the city: most talk is about the Zandvoort GP; people have the idea that the decision to have a GP here is overrushed. That all normal procedures are abandoned because The Man (support of multinationals, owner of circuit is both a royal and a real estate t...

Re: 2019 Singapore Grand Prix Race Thread
Just watched Vettel and Verstappen's pit stops. I would say that Leclerc was lucky that Verstappen came back on track just behind Hulkenberg. Otherwise Leclerc would have been third after his pit stop I think.

Because of Brexit British based teams are not able to finish the season so Leclerc wins WDC before Vettel and Raikkonen.

Re: Kubica/Stroll/Ocon
Nobody yet? OK, let me do the honors.
Ocon is overrated. Speed is there but usually ends behind his team mate. Crashes too much, especially in incidents with people that he wants to beat too hard (like his team mates and direct rivals). Will fight for the Formula E title soon with Wehrlein.
