Max with a great season this year! Really nice to see the Red Bull - Honda alliance off to a good start. And loved Honda Racing’s social media jab at Alonso. #neverforget Didn’t see the Albon / Gasly incident but saw the rest of the race and most of the year and I am pleasantly surprised by Albon an...

I hope! Started following Charles on Facebook in early 2016 in hopes he would one day sit in the red car. And now he's here and shining bright so far! It's got to be strange times at Ferrari for the employees. On one hand, you have a 4x WDC who absolutely adored your company and wants to win for you...

List looks about how I would expect it to shape up so my only changes would be nitpicking and entirely subjective. ...........and Ferrari chose not to take part. Same as it ever was. Meaning? Meaning Ferrari are the most insular closed off team on the grid. Do they take part in the Montreal raft rac...

I would say Stroll overall. When Stroll came into the sport, did anyone expect him to be fast or keep it on the road based on his credentials and reason for getting a seat? In that regard, I think he's been criminally underrated. He's generally had a decent set of hands, and it seems the car is far ...

Ditto! Started watching Australia 2003 and the only race I missed from then to about 2014 was Hungary 2006. Judging by my user name, you can imagine why I was irate at that.

Kimi for having actual military service where he probably learned a few tricks to choke people out. Ricciardo for some relatively useful martial arts for a street brawl. Hulk for size. Kmag for his intensity. Sirotkin for being Russian. Other than that, the others are doomed, unless Bottas or someon...

Timing of this thread is very fitting to me - I had this same thought after Hamilton's 1st lap of Q3. I cheer for and respect both drivers, and have been cheering Seb on to deliver Ferrari a title, but I always did feel the following: Are they equal talents or is Hamilton slightly better? I never ac...

1. Good to see Lewis' full reversal on Kimi's driving since his red mist comments from the British GP about Kimi's side-by-side racing. The guy has never intentionally hit another driver in F1. Ever. The closest thing may have been Perez during the Lotus years. 2. Anyone else think Kimi lingered a b...

Guys. (and ladies). I now have F1 race coverage with no commercial breaks and listen to Brundle rather than Hobbs (still trying to figure out why Americans liked the guy outside of potential nostalgia). I didn't necessarily dislike Speed or NBC, but I do miss Steve Matchett commentating. but F1 view...

Honda Quick

Exediron possibly meant a slump in pace relative his teammate? With no stats to back it up, my initial gut feeling is that was true. But that doesn't mean Ricciardo didn't rack up points like a fiend during that stretch - it's psossible to lack pace to a teammate but still have pace / reliability / ...

RPM killed those 2004 engines. 100%. Loved hearing their sound. But rpm is far harder on connecting rods, cylinder sleeves, and pistons than torque. These current ICEs we're always more reliable on paper even in new regulations and development. I love all F1 tech though so I've been pretty indiffere...

I know Kimi has been off pace a few times (v. a 4x WDC the team is putting all resources behind) but how on Earth does he have the same or similar ranking as Kyvat - who has been off pace easily as much and has caused his own teammate's retirement twice on the first lap - in some of these?! I think ...

Honda Quick

I can't believe anyone is arguing on behalf of Vettel in this situation. The fact that some people are arguing about a drop in speed of ~10kph as something a 4x WDC, 10 year veteran can't account for and blaming it on the leader, who controls the speed and was dismissed of all sanctions, is asinine....

Honda Quick

I think you can not compare drivers best seasons because sadly, perception(public, media) make this exercise futile. For example people love the underdog story and would rate a slower but bulletproof car(Ferrari 2012) higher than a very fast but fragile car(McLaren/RedBull 2012). The "biggest" inju...

Is the Honda Indy Car engine made in Japan or the US? If the US, then the chances that this improvement means good things for F1 is limited at best. IIRC, it's designed and built by Honda of America, which is primarily American engineers. I think it has little correlation to Honda of Japan's F1 pet...

Saying that I don't see that much difference between Hamiltons and Vettels careers. Signed up at an early age on the understanding that if you dont tick the boxes each season you are out; and if you make it, surrounded by suits to make sure you play the corporate game. I think its only now; having ...

I know he's likening Rosberg to Alonso by being "experienced and quick", but I had to laugh when it reads that nobody knows how good Alonso is now, but he and Rosberg are on the same level. Well, you know how good Rosberg is Niki, he's on your team and comparable to Lewis... :p

Dan is more polished and tested on paper due to beating a 4x WDC so I have to choose him. Though Kubica looked to be developing further into his own in 2010 before his accident. I think 2012 Lotus could have been interesting with him there. Maybe could have been a 3-way fight going into the final ro...

Pirelli's circus tyres and Ferrari's ongoing inability to cater for Räikkönen's driving preferences , will keep Kimi in second place in the scuderia, I'm afraid. Ferrari clearly have showed an ability to get him much more comfortable in his car in 2015 vs 2014 where he was very unstable at many tra...

No more worrying signs from Mercedes until they have a repeat weekend. There's not a way for them or us to know what will unfold with more regularity until we have more pattern to judge from.

Does anyone else find it funny people slate Seb for his whipping by Ricciardo, yet neither Lewis nor Alonso have been tested against Ricciardo either? At the moment, given Seb vs. Kimi (with Kimi faring much better in the SF15-T than he did in the F14T), it looks like Seb and Alonso would actually s...

It's a terrible system actually. Just look at the drivers' actual records and you would have to shake your head. It doesn't take into account anything other than finishing position in the championship. Not wins or margin of victory or anything that might add context. Could you imagine compiling dat...

I didn't see the final results as of yet, but already before I go there, I'd like to see the results without the Tier 1 and Tier 2 bonus multipliers of 2 and 1.5. Each tier's multiplier should be rated at 1 or VERY close to 1 since each tier's difficulty will ultimately be related to talent and expe...

In that order. But at this point, I think any team would do well to have any of the four. But, Ricciardo is simply the most polished ready to race product and potentially the best driver on the grid.

I've been a fan of the Eagles since 1992ish. Really followed the team and the NFL in general in 1999. That last Eagles game was THE worst I've ever witnessed them play. That was embarassing... Really stoked about the newer QBs of Bridgewater, Mariotta, Winston, and Bortles. Even Manziel showing a li...

Since we have no clear idea on how much influence drivers have on development routes, it's easy to say that Ferrari made a mistake in re-signing Kimi in 2014, but his extension into 2016 made sense given the market around them. They are clearly preparing a newcomer for 2017 and didn't want to disrup...

For me, active drivers and in order of preference: HAM / VET VET / RIC Rd 2 HAM / ALO Rd 2 Though, I think the mystique we've built in our minds from the 2007 season might lead to a disappointed actual reunion of that last pair.
