Re: Driver(s) of the Day - 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix
People actually arguing over Leclerc/Vettel? This was one of those weekends. The start of the race almost dictated how it all went. When the first pitstops hit, they all flooded in. Some stayed out, some pitted early. The guys started expecting a wet track and potentially more rain - instead it drie...

Re: Would you swap Perez for Vettel?
Would I choose Perez over Vettel? Nope. I'm not a major Vettel fan but I would choose him over Perez. The best things Perez has done in his career is usually down to looking after the tyres and his smoother driving style. Would I rate him as a possible champion? Nope. Considering how Charles is supp...

I have no regrets about Seb leaving the Italian team behind. McLaren is due for a rise, I hope he pops over there if...
