Schumacher forever#1

Strange to see a teammate so close to Verstappen. Almost assume it's a poor lap by Max. Perhaps Max isn't the Schumacher to Hamilton's Hill after all... Lol I would never rate Hill that highly but he's a nice chap. I don't think Hamilton vs Verstappen is comparable to any past rivalry tbh Surely Se...

I'm sorry but I have to say it - once again when the pack crunches up, Bottas crumbles

I'm worried for Ricciardo. Needs to step up or he might lose too much kudos for a shot at a top drive. Time isn't his friend.

Strange how large a gap we're seeing between the new-coming drivers and the settled drivers. Consistent gaps of around 4-5 tenths each.

Best lap of Norris' career so far?

Wait another 10 minutes first

Schumacher forever#1

Here what's up with Norris?!

Schumacher forever#1

Mazepin stealing a tow off Giovanazzi and overtaking him is about as chad like you can get

Schumacher forever#1

Maybe we should stop asking whether Mercedes or Red Bull are faster and just ask whether Mercedes and Red Bull X Verstappen is faster.

The quantity Max brings to the Red Bull pace is really quite hard to determine until Perez gets fully comfortable with the car.

Oh well, I'm not too late am I? 30mins before quali...

1. Hamilton
2. Verstappen
3. Bottas
4. Perez
5. Leclerc
6. Gasly
7. Sainz
8. Norris
9. Alonso
10. Ricciardo

So we've established that both Schumacher and Hamilton lost to teammates in specific years due to explainable circumstances. In all cases, they beat the same teammates over other seasons. And we shall continue to go round in circles arguing over minor fallacies in order to try argue that one was be...

Schumacher forever#1

It's a fact that Hamilton has beaten a better cast of characters within his own team (Alonso, Button, Rosberg) and a better driver than Mika (Vettel), the best rival the grid had to offer Schumacher during his best years, in another team. I truly hate to sound like myattitude but Barrichello was cl...

Schumacher forever#1

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 manifest...

Crazy to think that this thread was made around the time I joined, and I'll soon be 9 years an active member. While I wouldn't know many of the posters mentioned here, I must say there's been a few iconic ones gone in the past 8 years since. Wonder will Zoue ever hop back on the forum, they were an ...

Schumacher forever#1

https://www.planetf1.com/news/fernando-alonso-clarifies-better-comment/ What I take from this is that Alonso at minimum sees himself as 3rd best. :proud: It's great to have him back on the grid. I think it's now become a strong field with his return and the fact that talented rookies from 1-2 years...

Schumacher forever#1

I hardly doubt he'd offer more than Alonso based on his now sustained period of mediocre form. How bad would Alonso have to be exactly to be as underwhelming as Vettel has been in the last couple of seasons... Pretty damn bad by his standards. Is Alonso gonna be "shot" at 40? I highly doubt it. Oco...

Alonso was never even brought to the stewards.

Did he not put in the same sector time as Ocon? Why do you only single out Alonso?

Schumacher forever#1

At least he's laughing? It's only a matter of time before the complaining and sarcastic back-biting at the car begins. I'm surprised it hasn't started already. Oh FFS if Alonso said what Bottas said yesterday that his car was 'undriveable', all the headlines would be about Alonso's lack of team lea...

Schumacher forever#1

Perez exposed as the journeyman he is, twice as far behind Verstappen as Albon just a few months ago. So Embarrassed by Button that Mclaren showed hm the door, slower than Stroll at times last year, he should join Vettel and move to a home for retired racing drivers, immediately. /sarc You had me i...

Schumacher forever#1

Yes in summary we have a title fight, when criticising Bottas and qualifying perhaps doesn't matter that much well just tell Perez that, he couldn't get the fastest car through to Q3 on medium tyres, also it looks like Ferrari are much improved. well, in q2, perez was about the same distance from v...

Schumacher forever#1

I'll go with Alonso. Impressive to get up to those speeds so quickly again.

Schumacher forever#1

Alonso just 2.5 tenths off McLaren, nice

Schumacher forever#1

Perez only three tenths off Verstappen in fairness. Both cars seemed to struggle in that session.

Quick analysis on SKY showing Alonso whooped up on Ocon on merit. Or that Ocon mucked up on merit.

Both seemingly equally compromised in S1.

Not bad for a past it driver

I just feel we're in a never-ending cycle of Mercedes massively downplaying themselves, creating false excitement for fans, and then an inevitable return to reality. Get very tired of Toto constantly saying stuff like, best case scenario they're level on pace with Red Bull. They're like the kid who...

I've been mulling over pulling a Rosberg on my defence of the title this year. I'm going to be super busy with work for the next few months, and won't have much time at all to make predictions. But alas, I'd probably regret it if I didn't enter, in case I do in the end get time to fill it out weekly...

Schumacher forever#1

Who was the first driver younger than you? At a guess I think mine would be Jaime Alguersuari. Are you asking for my age here? :lol: Anyway, i don't mind. When Verstappen joined, I felt odd that he was barely any older than me, then it was when Stroll came in that I started to feel old. Now there a...

It's like I said Wolff believes in fairness but not to the point of damaging the team, we want to be comparing Bottas to Schumacher's teammates, the ones that get early season team orders, I don't remember Bottas having to gift Hamilton an early season win at Baku in 2019, when do you ever see Hami...

Interesting viewing in episode 3 Drive to Survive for anyone that doesn't think Bottas is the defacto number 2. Toto describing Bottas winning as not a complete disaster a particular eye opener but there were a few more. It's like I said Wolff believes in fairness but not to the point of damaging t...

I think Verstappen is...

Are the 2 previous seasons still accessible ?

Yepp, when you click into the latest season's episode list, there's a 'Season 3' heading, which you can click into to change season

Schumacher forever#1

I've not watched any on S3 yet but I've watched all of 1&2 and plan on watching 3. I would say that we on this forum aren't really the target audience, it's clearly more suited to an entry level where you dont need knowledge of the sport already to watch it. Which is fair enough, but as a result th...

Schumacher forever#1

For those who have already started the season: is this worth watching as an avid F1 fan? I watched a few episodes before but it never really captured me, partly because it felt more like a review of what I already saw. I'm going to give it another shot though considering how much people around rave ...

Leclerc = at times last year he looked like Romain Grosjean 2.0 from 2012 on opening laps. Idk Verstappen Vs Leclerc in Silverstone was some of the most exciting wheel-to-wheel racing I've seen in a while. I think Leclerc is the most underrated here thus far.
