Obviously you ignore what Rosberg did but Jenson beat Hamilton in 2011 no excuses he was the better driver that year. So no not just Fernando. But I agree that Bottas has kept up so far.IDrinkYourMilkshake wrote:

Re: Are F1 Drivers the Best?
I think for the most part they are but I voted not always because you have pay drivers who are not so good but have a seat because of money.

Re: 2017 Russian Grand Prix Race thread
Boring race indeed with literally no overtakes besides the start. And there is probably going to be more of the same in Spain where its going to be impossible to overtake.

Top 20. Most voters here are seriously underrating how challenging it is to drive Indy cars around Indy. With that said Fernando does have a quarter oval experience in the other direction at Indy

Can't see Vettel taking the fight to Hamilton, he has been chilling in the front and could bring out more pace if need be. Vettel has been driving mad this whole time his tires are more worn for sure.

Re: 2017 Australian Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Th
The Mercedes and Ferrari are pretty even. Lewis making the difference! You sure about that? I think it's more likely that the Mercedes is about three tenths quicker and that Bottas isn't as on it as Hamilton or Vettel. Agreed Mercedes still top dog, only slightly. Rosberg would have made it Mercede...

Vettel was solid today, would love to see how he could've done in a straight fight with the Mercs. Probably not good enough to win still but much closer. I'll give a shout to the Williams drivers too.

Re: Top10 drivers of the year, according to team bosses
I would have put Rosberg above Lewis. I found Lewis too much up and down. He could deliver a good result than next race be pretty invisible. Massa seems to have made the top 10 by default. Personally I would have rather put Di Resta or Ricciardo in the top 10 instead of Massa. That Sutil and Perez ...
