I think whats trying to be said is that it was all part of Lewis' plan and he is next tier driving god compared to Vettel, Alonso, Ricciardo, Verstappen, Senna, Schumacher, Hakkinen, Stewart, Hill (both) and Sterling Moss

stevey

I think Kmag has stepped it up this year and Grosjean is suffering from a spell of bad luck. In the past I have slated the guy for all the crashing but I actually do enjoy his driving style and personality.

stevey

as long as its wide enough for an overtake i dont mind where they go

stevey

I'm not convinced of the drop in quali for mercedes, the tyres seem to be the main problem. Not being able to switch them on in the practice sessions, not being able to find the sweet spot setup wise, excessive wear. I've seen it over so many seasons with them, it always effects Lewis more than the ...

The reason I took Hamilton over Bottas is because Bottas had the opportunity to win this race and failed. Hamilton, Vettel, Ricciardo, Verstappen were in his position in that car they would have overtaken a car struggling on its tyres and won.

stevey

Do you think there will ever be a time when F1 drops the courses that are virtually impossible to overtake on?

stevey

at the beginning of his career he didnt encounter a lot of crashes that where directly his fault it was only in the RBR dominance years when he was trying to over drive the car to keep pace that he came a cropper a few times. I still remember the car magnets that were him and Massa Bad Bad times.

stevey

If you do that then surely you will need to give points for pole, 2, 3 otherwise not massive incentive to go for poie at least.

stevey

As a hamilton fan every year is a roller coaster of emotion, I cant remember any other driver where i've felt as anxious at every single race start and every lap afterwards. I have watched so many races where he's just going round and all of a sudden his engine goes, or his tyre deflates. The guy is...

For me its making the sport too safe. I agree a lot of changes have made it safer where very much needed but making it too safe takes away from the sport as well. A lot of people will criticize that point of view, but every single one of those drivers has watched the sport over the years and has ac...

sorry Alonso has gone from that list, he's now slipped into the realm of Raikonnen.

stevey

I think the difference between the cars is only how they use the tyres. The Ferrari looks like the tyres were made for it ( History repeating lol ) were as on the merc they are really difficult to get in the working range. At Monaco Lewis struggled like mad on the tyres on his car were as after his ...

What you've got to realise is they're going to blow smoke up Max's behind as he's the hot young talent that's tipped for the title in the future. Its attractive reading for the casual fan and new fans. Its just the way the press work around F1, the longer you're in it and not successful (I mean winn...

Kubica definetly had the talent and the class to be a great World Champion.

stevey

if anything that further proves Hamiltons point All of Alonso's competitors have masses\a lot more experience than Alonso in Indy and yet were out paced\raced by Alonso who had very little time to get to grips with it. I think some F1 drivers are that good in comparison to Indy drivers. Theres a rea...

stevey

For me the onus on performance should always be on the engine never the aero. What is a race car without an engine?? just a shell! You put a good engine in any chassis and you got yourself a race car. Maybe its time F1 does move away from the independents? and focus on attracting other factory teams...

stevey

Jenson has never driven these cars, I have no idea how he's going to fare at Monaco - I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself, but then again Honda are doing that for McLaren.

stevey

for me Sainz has impressed, I think RBR could of taken either and they both would of succeeded. Max is a step above in overtaking on Carlos but Carlos isn't sloppy either. I thought when on the track together they were evenly matched.

stevey

Both Vettels and Hamiltons pass seemed to really similar except for all the swerving by Sebastian. Both had better tyres than the person they were following, both had DRS. The thing that made Sebastian's overtake good was the dummy to Bottas (though he almost binned it on the side), the thing that m...

stevey

Ferrari definitely at this stage, but I think the balance may shift dependant on tyre. The softer tyres work better on the Ferrari but the medium to hard seem to swing in mercs favour.

stevey

does anyone have the number of engine components each team have used so far, I read Ferrari have used 3 of 4 of one of the components already and will be looking at grid penalties in the near future?

stevey

looks like the FIA are trying to make this a 1 horse race for the beginning of the season.

stevey

it is ugly, but the question will be is it fast.

Its got the high rake similar to rbr. Will be interesting to see what they red bull comes back with

stevey

Just watched the video, massive rake angle on that car.

Some really puzzling aero on it as well which makes me feel Ferrari are struggling with aero still.

stevey

The type of data Lewis is talking about is driving lines and braking points, this should not be shared between team mates. Otherwise what's the point of having a WDC at all?

Car setups, tyre strategy is more of a grey area as they have a limited amount of time to get this right.

stevey

Ricciardo Vettel Alonso Vettel Alonso and Vettel may not have raced together in the same team but being the fact that Vettel was Alonso's replacement its fairly obvious that Alonso's time at Ferrari definitely out shone Sebastian's and sebs rep has certainly taken a nose dive because of this compar...

2017: Hamilton Merc
2018: Hamilton Merc with Alonso as team mate
2019: Alonso Merc
2020: Verstappen Red Bull
2021: Hamilton Ferrari

Finally cant wait for the new cars!!! role on Feb

stevey

how good is Allison? I cant really remember his stand outs. I've heard the name a lot and seen he has been around the block once or twice but is he the newey that all other teams seem to be after? Also is feel Lowe going to Williams is a step backwards for him. Williams are never going to put the fu...

stevey

Is Bottas not a huge conflict in interest given who his manager is?

I'd love to see Sainz in it, I really rate him.

stevey

Why not speak the truth?

Also total of stating lh should go drive for Christian horner shows exactly who he favoured.

stevey

Toto states lh should drive for horner and we've got a wdc who can't drive in the rain. F1's reputation back in the gutter.

stevey

Toto just states in interview "Lewis had two choices today. Drive off into the distance or back the pack up like Christian horner said. He chose the latter so should go drive for him" and you saying there was no favouritism.

stevey

You guys trying to claim no favouritism for nico when you all heard the radio calls telling Lewis to hurry because nicos p2 was in danger. That equates to the same as "please give nico the wdc". If hamilton was going so slow any great driver would have overtaken him. You try to say it's best for the...

stevey

Love all commentators including nicos win stats from 2015 because this year the stats don't equate to a champion worthy driver.

stevey

Lol the reason everyone keeps saying well deserved is because they know the more undeserving driver won the wdc. If this were different teams you can almost swallow the engine failures as being unlucky but being in the same team means some shoddy work on one side. Hamilton drove with so much skill t...

stevey

Would merc want to let him go, a proven racer, when they don't have the car advantage. I know if I was a team boss I wouldn't and I certainly would not expect Nico to deliver as often if performance gap was neutralized.

stevey

Why do people keep talking about luck? I hope we are all intelligent enough to realise it doesn't exist. There is however such a thing called cause and effect, somewhere down the line within the hundreds of components used to make the engine a weakness has occurred in a part that has since failed. M...

stevey

Just gonna do top 3 tiers, gonna leave out drivers that don't stand out to me. maybe 4 for the worst driver :). I do wonder how this would change without DRS. 1, Hamilton - One of the best defensively and when attacking, the way he sets up an overtake is amazing before he pounces. Tends not to need ...
