Re: 2018 team bosses driver rankings
Looks just like it does every year. Nonsensical. 10 very busy men probably spending 30 seconds to run through the first 10 that comes to mind. Perez beat the guy 5th on the list and doesn't even feature. I can't help wondering what their basis for comparison is. Or how these people would define bes...

Re: Conclusions from Brazil 2017
There wasn't much Val could do to stop Sebastian his start was perfect and he placed his car with precision accuracy. I guess the Mercedes number two driver does need to toughen up but I fear the team won't support him anyway. I don't understand the praise for Hamilton . Like you say his car was wa...

Re: vettel/stroll. what the he'll happened there.
So if somebody drives into the side of you while you are passing them on a two-lane road, it's you who had a brain cramp? Vettel held a steady line and Stroll didn't.

Re: vettel/stroll. what the he'll happened there.
From this angle ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ80ZLmhoFs ), it looks like Stroll was going to go offline to pick-up marbles and also possibly giving way to the McLaren behind him. Apparently he did not see that Vettel also came up behind him and was in the process of overtaking. What a brain c...

What was the hugely compelling factor that would force him to take the steering and make this situation an exception.? :uhoh: I don't know . It does seem a bit strange as to why he would do that.

I'm not sure how you decide who hit who. Rosberg, not following the corner, plows into Hamilton, following the corner on the outside. Maybe it's a technicality to decide who hit who - the point is that Hamilton was ahead and could turn in if he left enough space. And there are meters of space betwee...
