Hamilton, Norris, Tsunoda. Nods to Leclerc and Perez (the latter only for his race performance, not making Q3 in the fastest car is Not Good).

Re: The Great Big 2021 A > B > C Thread
I'd expect the fastest of the next gen to be a touch quicker than those of the previous , so those figures fit in line with my intuition, at least. But Schumacher was quicker than both Alonso and Hamilton, which contradicts that idea. I have Schumacher up 0.190% on Hamilton using Button-Barrichello...

Re: Suzuka 1990 vs Adelaide 1994
Both incidents were terrible. I think the high speed of Sennas makes it particularly uncomfortable. The thing I haven’t seen here regarding 94, which is crucial for me, Schumacher was out the race when he took Hill out. He had destroyed his right suspension hitting the wall. The right rear wheel wa...

Re: Suzuka 1990 vs Adelaide 1994
In my view though the eventual outcome was justified - 1994 was probably one of the most "manufactured" title fights to have ever existed, after Senna's unfortunate demise. Hill would have been nowhere in the fight were it not for the people in power hobbling Schumacher every step of the way - it w...

Re: Suzuka 1990 vs Adelaide 1994
Schumi tried it again in 1997 under near-identical circumstances, which makes the defence quite a lot harder. Plus, Senna died in a car and had that slightly unearthly quality about him, so he's a hero to a lot of people in a way that Schumacher isn't. And no, 1994 isn't defensible in my view. First...

I have to question whether Alonso > Ocon 0.12s - 0.34s is really a prediction beyond you expect Alonso to beat Ocon. To be honest, I value these predictions a lot more when they are transparent about the margin of error. Given the number of steps, we shouldn't expect a particularly precise predicti...

Re: Predict the next World Champion
This boils down to:
Which will happen first:
1) Hamilton retires
2) Hamilton is beaten by a team-mate
3) Someone other than Mercedes builds a championship-winning car
and if 3, who will be driving it?
I voted for Max, but I think both Russell and Bottas are also both pretty likely.

George is really young, heir apparent to whichever Mercedes seat opens first, and will get other chances to win races. This could be Checo's only win, and for him to leave F1 without a win would have been a real injustice.

I am surprised that they didn't use the track variant with the first-corner chicane. I guess passing is probably possible at the T5 hairpin, but otherwise it looks like it will be restricted to DRS on the main straight.
