Re: The best title fight of all time in terms of driver quality
Schumacher vs Alonso. I think they are the greatest, #1 and #2, and to have them square off was amazing.

Re: Its Official, Alex Albon Has A Sense Of Humour
I think Albon signed too soon. Look at his qualifying performance against Latifi compared with Russell's last year. Albon vs Latifi qualifying delta over 12 races = -0.550 (-0.676%), won 11-1 (91.6%) Russell vs Latifi qualifying delta over 22 races = -0.356 (-0.220%), won 19-3 (86.3%) If Russell is ...

Re: How many races will Verstappen win this season.
I voted 12 fully expecting him to dominate, but reliability and cost cap issues may come up more than the other teams. Merc can easily slide in there and take some wins.

Re: The Effect of 2021 on Max Verstappen's Legacy
I think Max knew if he had never won another championship he wouldn't be satisifed with his legacy of being a "rule manipulation champion". It wasn't human error, the rules were deliberately changed on the fly for an exciting Nascar-like finish. And that's why Max started '22 with guns blazing.

Re: Who will finish P2 in the WDC/WCC?
I think the ride height and plank rules helped Merc make a comeback, but they're still lacking pace. Even with the head start after the VSC Ferrari on mediums caught up to Russell on softs. The tire compounds didn't suit them well here but I think they still have the fastest car. Leclerc seems to ha...

The ride height should be raised to eliminate scraping the ground. I'm not really a fan of seeing sparks fly. It's cool to see but that can't be safe. Other than that, teams have to work on their designs to fix bouncing.
