Precisely. Does anyone believe that Irvine and Barichello were better than Schumacher. Does anyone believe that Button and Rosberg were better than Hamilton? Next - would you put those four drovers in roughly the same bracket?

Not even Edmund himself believed that!

Sorry Dolo, I just got around doing it. No apology necessary, you don't owe me anything! Looks like DC was actually a good test though as I hadn't realised just how much Webber had dominated. I'm guessing peoples perception here is often affected by how good the car was at the time the teammates we...

OK well some more votes would have been good, but forum seems pretty quiet right now. So my system compares the following 4 metrics across the two teammates over all their races together: [Average Qualifying Position Ahead in Qualifying Average Finish Position When Both Finished Ahead When Both Fini...

So 100% of us have put Klien last, not surprisingly. I'm a little surprised by all the Hakkinen #1 votes. I wonder if those are from people misunderstanding the purpose of the vote? While Hakkinen is very likely the best of the five drivers, my feeling is that he did not dominate Coulthard the way ...

DOLOMITE

I don't think I will be able to do it without thorough analysis which would take ages, as an overview he seemed to get beat quite easily by Hakkinen, Kimi and Webber, was a bit closer to Hill and better than Klein. That's kind of the aim really though to see if the method supports or contradicts yo...

I'll hold off on voting until the poll is sorted out but it's actually quite a touch exercise. Are we taking into account things like Kimi being very inexperienced in 2002 or are we judging them purely in isolation without any context around the performances? The mind instantly wants to put Hakkine...

I've flagged the OP to ask the mods to do it - no idea if we mere mortals even can.

Thanks Tufty. If we can do it, I can't see how.

Remake with corrected poll?

How do you do it? or it something only the mods can do?

DOLOMITE

I've been dicking about with yet-another-stats rating system and I want to see how it performs. Simply put the aim to to rank a drivers teammates in order of how close they were matched. I won't go into the methodology here because 1) they're all flawed anyway 2) I don't have to and 3) I'm not sure ...

Hamilton had Button comfortably beat for 2.5 seasons out of 3. 2010, Hamilton dominated Button. Button finished ahead of Hamilton 3 times when both finished. 2 were in mixed conditions when Button gambled (whilst behind Hamilton) and won the race. The other was in Japan when Hamitlon was a long way...

DOLOMITE

In my opinion, you can find reasons to give Schumacher the nod and such to give Hamilton the nod. It's a close call. Two things, for me, decide it in Hamilton's favour: - he raced stronger teammates, and - Schumacher had more and more severe unfair actions ("lack of sportsmanship"). :thumbup: but I...

So, Marc Marques is officially back and will race next week. Will be very interesting to see how quick he is after 9 months out.

I would be very surprised if he's not sraight back in at the top, assuming the bike is good enough.

DOLOMITE

"instrumental", yep that's a common one too. I just find it frustrating that there are no examples of the kind of things he did. If I was to go as far as describing a member of my team at work as "instrumental" I like to think I'd be able to then cite plenty of examples that justify that. Things lik...

I fear it's going to be here to stay. More people will undoubtedly watch on Friday now actual quali happens then and more people will watch on Saturday because it's something new.

Does Nico Hulkenberg going AM put pressure on Vettel? That's a high profile reserve driver! I don't think so, but if Vettel doesn't improve signficantly on that opening weekend you have to wonder at what point would the team consider subbing Nico. It's way to early to judge Vettel yet, but if he's ...

DOLOMITE

Yep, looks like I was correct with this. They wanted a Bronze and Esmee would be Silver. So from the criteria above whoever takes her place is old and not very good, old but inexperienced, or young and inexperienced. Great. I wonder when the FIA license was applied for, could it have been before sh...

Have we heard anything more about the strange Juju Noda situation?

No, just the same statement quoted everywhere. Couple of non English sites appeared to have more but after translation didn't add any detail.

DOLOMITE

So basically what's being proposed is a qualifying session in a race format. It would help if they didn't call it a race...but it is one. Only the "reward" isn't a race win it's your grid-slot for Sunday. Its a mess however you look at it. So what is a Pole now? P1 on Friday even though you could en...

I don't know whether this has already been asked / addressed but I assume that a Sprint race win does not count towards overall Grand Prix wins? What with it being more of a 'Mini-Prix.' More specifically, how will this look against a driver's stats? For example, should Hamilton be on 99 GP wins go...

wow, some real blasts from the past there. Might just be me bit feels like we had an older demograpic "back in the day". And I'm still unsure if we even have any female posters these days. I miss Guia. And Laura was quite good and informed both great contributors, Guia was unique in her style.

I'm still slightly in shock that this looking like it's actually going to happen. Worst suggestion to get the go ahead since the double-points debacle.

They've had that starting system for a couple of years as well. I know but I watched last year and maybe it's just me but I don't recall the difference being so evident during either starts or the race. Martins pass on Quarteraro with 4 laps left was ludicrous. Anyway, whether the advantage is the ...

I liked the action, as others have said both Taylor & Munnings impressed behind the wheel. IMO the cars are not quick enough, a road going Tesla is almost 50% faster to 100kph. The lack of visibility for chasing cars effectively means a race lasts 20 seconds, I'd suggest different formats in differ...
