Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
A bit off-topic, but not too much, I trust... Hamilton getting into a tangle with Verstappen is on him; that incident has been discussed multiple times on here and I disagree it was entirely Verstappen's fault. 8O Strider, we agree on something! Now, is it you or I who should be worried about this?...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
In Canada 2022 there were only a few laps early on when both Sainz and Verstappen were on the same tyres in clear air and in that time Sainz closed the gap to Verstappen by a small amount. Remembering that Sainz was almost always the slower Ferrari driver in 2022 it's reasonable to hold the opinion...

Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2024 Miami Grand Prix
Yep, I'd agree with that as well. Ocon has a sizable body of work in F1 at this point, and the vast majority of it points to less than optimal teamwork. The only teammate he didn't fall out with was Ricciardo, and that was probably just because Ricciardo had him firmly in hand in terms of pace. Gas...

Re: Driver(s) of the day - 2024 Miami Grand Prix
Gasly races the same way, so I don't think you can really put the blame on one over the other. Much like with Perez/Ocon, it takes two to tango. When it first happened with Perez, I put it down to Perez. When it then happened with Alonso I thought "hang on, this is not new". Now it is happening all...

It is clear that the correction regulations Red Bulls are struggling relatively more on street circuits. I don't recall that being a trait of the W06? Then again, there were less street circuits in 2015 as well, so perhaps it just didn't come to the fore. So you would also look to blame the Mercede...

What was up with how Ocon and Gasly fought? Ocon as usually did not give a quarter to his teammate. That often ends in tears. I can't understand teams wanting to employ such a driver, who appears hell-bent on beating his teammate above all else, even if it means crashing out. Gasly races the same w...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
In Canada Sainz qualified behind Alonso because he made a mistake on his final lap, which in turn also cost him time in the early part of the race. Still he was as quick or quicker than Verstappen once both were in clean air. Not to mention that Leclerc started last because of a penalty, a very win...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
I’ve just had a look at the top speeds clocked in qualifying at Baku 2019, and the difference between Leclerc, Bottas and Hamilton was nonexistent. Also you say that Vettel was the “slower” Ferrari driver, but Leclerc was still slower than Bottas when he put on fresh C4s while Bottas was on old C3s...

Clearly the current drivers cannot extract a great deal of performance from the W15 and they were also struggling with the W14 and the W13.

I think it achieves two aims, despite the split be amicable. Newey can't work in a 2025 challenger, so that championship will probably be in the bag.
