Possibly yes, which would've been ultimately no worse than staying behind and waving his fist post-race. Much as I was surprised to see Alonso vent his frustration on Petrov instead of accepting defeat gracefully, it is more honourable to do what he did, than to crash into people. I don't know whet...

Jacques drove in cars that won 2 title and only won 1. 50% The 96 and 97 Williams won 20/32 races. Should have been closer to 25 but JV and Hill were very error prone. Hamilton drove in cars that won 1 title and he won it. 100% 07,08, 10 Mclarens won 19/58 races With your shown example of logic; Je...

I like outspokenness too, but you know what I meant. Your wording of which dirty tactic would he have used leaves no doubt that he would have done something nasty, which is unfair. That's your interpretation of 'illegal', which is the word LukeMallory used, and which I quoted. I didn't write 'dirty...

Schumacher would have won in 2010 - he proved it at Monaco the same year when he passed Alonso 'illegally'. Exactly the type of move that Alonso needed to make on Petrov. No way would Schumacher have gone lap after lap staring at Petrov's gearbox. Which illegal manoeuvre do you think he would have ...

is it possible that he has breached the boundary of the team and become as much Ferrari as the prancing horse is? (not in a bad way, but I can't think of any other driver who IS Ferrari as much as him.) I think you have just partially refuted LKS1's post. There was more to know about what we saw at...

If we are realistic - every driver is there for themselves. But you can still respect the team and race for them at the same time-its a partnership. Ferrari seems to ask that you forget yourself - its ALL abut the team. Am I understanding this correctly? Does anyone else think this is a bit over th...

If you restrict the question to off-track, I find it becomes more difficult to answer. But my first reaction to "Do you think F1 drivers are more prone to be risk takers?" is an unequivocal "yes". If not, they wouldn't be in motorsport. I don't know how F1 drivers drive on normal roads in everyday c...

Well that was just one of 2 examples the other of which was crashing in Fuji at which point he was 2 points behind Hamilton and 5 ahead of Kimi, and those two examples were just 2 of many i could have gave, so i don't think that it is particularly "retarded" to say that considering he lost the titl...

I'd see Rosberg more as a technical director. To me he doesn't seem to have the "presence" that a TP needs to lead from the front, but the engineering background would be a bonus for a TD. I couldn't help but smile; team principals can't lead from the front unless they are drivers. So Rosberg would...

However if you accuse Hamilton of throwing away championships then you have to say the same thing about Kimi in 2008. Interesting! How do you reckon he managed to throw the championship away?

when there was unlimited testing Ferrari didn't run 24/7. they ran as much as other top teams. Well, running 24/7 would require the track to be lit, so you're right. But at one point (summer of 2003 I believe?) they had 5 cars running at the same time. There are many things that transferred over to...

The question is academic, as Schumacher never even contacted Ferrari about a comeback. He had probably understood they were struggling, and aware of their need for new money.

So back sometimes around year 2009 AD, Kimi went to Luca and said: "Enough, I cannot do it anymore." And so Kimi left the United Kingdoms of Ferrari and F1, to the woods. And after two years spent there in the search for his real identity, Kimi emerged out and returned to the Kingdoms. And given an...

I'm often surprised by the scores drivers get from Autosport after a race. So I'm not suprised these averages are somewhat... suprising.
Seeing Romain Grosjean outscore Nico Rosberg is certainly surprising.

To be fair Kimi's stock was probably never higher than at the end of his tenure with McLaren. Even Schumacher said something on the lines of Kimi was the only one he feared, or words to that effect. At the time it looked like Ferrari pulled off a coup and got the best driver around, not just the be...

You are missing something. A few things, in fact. Montezemolo did not break up the Todt/Brawn/Schumacher team.

To be honest I'm sure Ferrari hired Kimi because they thought it was best for Ferrari not best for Fernando. +1 That is something we can all agree on, surely. Besides, I like the inference. :D It ought to be self-evident, no? But I kind of like Luca's view of who will be the main beneficiary, too. ...

Stability is a huge strength. Why change if it is not necessary? Luca himself couldn't care less for that above formula. He got rid of the winning team Schumacher-Brawn-Todt. You really think it was necessary? Power games. And since then, one WDC. Thanks to that very driver that Luca got rid off th...

As someone already pointed out, Ferrari did not hire Raikkonen because Alonso was not doing a good enough job. In part, Ferrari felt it was time for a change because of Massa's results and partly to have some insurance in case Alonso does leave at the end of 2015. Surely I'm not the only one who th...
