A few possibilities:
- "I should have outperformed a 22-year-old in his first season in the team I was comfortable in"?
- "I should have been a WDC this year by driving well"?

He was recovering from a very serious injury after all, he walked with a limp for the first half of the year.

That wing has been done to death now. There was one new-spec wing left, Vettel expressed a particular preference for the new wing, Webber said he had no preference. Being a team boss, I know how I would resolve the matter. It obviously didn't slow him down as he won that race. Provide a specific so...

Had Red Bull fully backed him in 2010, he should have won. Had he won the WDC that year, and then backed him as far as car development for 2011, then who knows where he could have gotten to. He might have won 2 WDCs. Unfortunately he will be remembered a a good by probably not great no 2 driver, wh...

I don't really think we need to do Webber v Vettel for the millionth time. Vettel was the better driver, although his margins over Webber on the Bridgestone tyres weren't as big as some people like to imply. Having said that, Webber generally made Vettel work harder for it than Raikkonen currently is.

To me Webber summed his legacy in his book. He wasnt the most talented driver of his era but he was able to get the absolute maximum out the talent he had, which is an achievement in itself. Very good way of putting it really. Considering he never set the world on fire in his junior championships t...

Considering, lets be honest, Mark was never a top driver, his performance against Vettel in 09-10 was actually very good. Its not exactly clear if that was him over performing or Vettel underperforming, but come 2011 Vettel generally had moved well ahead, although 2012 certainly didn't go all Seb's ...

Alonso gives McLaren an ultimatum apparently ... if you believe the gossip ;-) http://readmotorsport.com/2015/10/03/alonso-makes-ultimatum-mclaren Sounds like the type of ultimatums Alonso's team comes up with. I am convinced that is how he lost his Ferrari drive - over playing his hand under the g...

Apart from 2014 ;) Its just frustrating from someone who wants to see Vettel against a team mate who has a chance of beating him. Another season vs Kimi Raikkonen, how exciting :uhoh: Being fair Kimi is good just not as good as Vettel. Seems unfair that Vettel can thrash a team mate who has a histo...

Alonso has beaten Button every race hasn't he? I'm not aware that Button has finished ahead all season. No, that's true - in two-car finishes Alonso is ahead 4-0. However the actual post referred to being faster, and Button has looked faster at times - not often - well matched at times - reasonably...

If 3 car teams I'd like to see ricciardo at Ferrari to prove his class against vettel , verstappen at Williams for a development year, sainz at force India and kvyat... Somewhere else.

The thing is, is occasionally being faster, occasionally matching and generally being slower than Ricciardo really that big of an achievement? Even if you had that record against Alonso, I'm not really sure people would be pushing over to sign you. If you had that record against Alonso you would be...

Exactly my point, curiously no one has answered my question instead of arguing with the stats.

I've been thinking about this and I think that Red Bull don't actually want Mercedes engines. Red Bull's position has always been it has the best chassis, the best aero, the best car and is able to make up for an underpowered engine. The Mercedes engine is undoubtedly the best on the grid (although...

Massa is the same driver he always has been, decent pace relative to the good drivers, inconsistent and often inexplainable mistakes. Two avoidable crashes in 2 races. While the one with Hulkenberg was apparently more on Nico there is little doubt Massa took Ricciardo out at Suzuka. If you think Ma...

Hamilton's only ever had 2 cars that should win the championship, and he looks set to win them both of those years. I don't think there is much argument for Vettel having less competitive machinery overall, considering the RB5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 were all title capable cars. Really? The 2007 McLaren def...

Verstappen for me. Once again looked feisty and aggressive. Max looks the brightest prospect since Lewis. Promotion to Red Bull-Ferrari/Audi in 2017 is mouth-watering. Really? What about the dude that currently has 2 more championships than Lewis, despite beginning in capable cars 2 years later? :u...

Because he was up against a much harder competition than Rosberg. Because he was always under constant pressure from Ricciardo being a few seconds behind yet made no mistakes. Because he dealt with the safety car in laps extremely well. He also dominated his teammate. Hamilton ran his teammate off ...

Why would he? The title isn't over yet.

infi24r

He's started working a lot for f1.com, so I wonder if that has toned back his weekly show.

it never got a great deal of views anyway so it was a lot of effort for him for like 5000 views.

Would have liked to see Ricciardo v The Williams but that wasn't meant to be.

Ferrari had too much pace relative to the chasing pack, but Merc had too much relative to everyone.

infi24r

He'll want to win.

41 points over Rosberg is still a comfortable margin, but you don't want to let it reduce to the point a DNF can even things right up.

I'd rate Ricciardo higher. Kubica was inconsistent.

infi24r

I think the main reason he was kept by Ferrari is because Ferrari don't wanna upset king dong , and he will be a great no2 , as he will not worry kid dong pacewise as he is close to vettel but rarely beats him This is the second time I've seen this typo and I have no idea what the person was trying...

I don't think there would be many drivers on the grid who teams would take over Ricciardo given the choice of any driver. Not just those two.

infi24r

Of the rest of the grid, Kimi's still at or near the top. 2017 could end up looking a good deal different, of course. They'll have to find somebody else in the not-too-distant future, as he's not getting any younger, but no reason to jump the gun on finding a replacement, especially without any opt...

Kimi's pace has actually helped Vettel's title challenge a lot, as Vettel is always ahead whenever there are serious points on the table. If he had a stronger team mate who could beat him regularly then they would have to share those points. So a team mate Vettel gets on with, who is almost certain...

Generally the drivers that get votes are the ones that stand out. Drivers like Sainz and Rossi did something to make them stand out and therefore a reason to vote for them. Hamilton, Bottas etc did not. Hence Zoue asking what they did to get votes? Hamilton only got one vote despite being 4 tenths ...

Inversely, i think Ricciardo is showing he didnt just get lucky with Seb being off form last year either. While Vettel is proving once again he is one of the all time greats. Dan is showing us he is also a very special driver. I still find it curious Kvyat is so close in points, despite seemingly b...
