It's F1, it's always been like this, teams have up and downs, sometimes they last many years.

Not really as on some other forums the results are completely different.

but certainly more than 1%. There's 21468 members on here, probably half are actually active (Or less - at a guess especailly looking at that poll) But if we was to be nice and say there is 21468 members here, then that certainly counts for less than 1% of the worlds F1 fan base. 450 million or som...

But it's not like going to Finland, because people are not from one nation on here. The lack of interest in the official Ferrari thread says it all.

Considering how big Ferrari are this thread has never really got going has it! Keeping my fingers crossed for a mega start again tomorrow and a dry race, Massa was struggling with the heat tho in the quali interview There aren't very many Ferrari fans on this site, especially relative to the number...

So Grosjean would beat him, despite that Grosjean lost twice to his, at least according to the seeming consensus here, on-par-with-Massa team mate where Bottas beat Massa, and despite Bottas taking 6 podiums in a non race-winning car to Grosjeans 6 podiums in a race-winning car (0-2-4 vs 0-1-5 at t...

One team dominating in F1 is not interesting for a whole. Hamilton winning will be great for GB but eventually new fans from Germany, Brazil, and all over the world will diminish, and F1 needs to juggle that interest so the sport can keep going. They already have a hard time with how expensive watc...

You said Alonso doesn't like to take up the challenge of a competitive teammate. Yet he took up the challenge of Kimi (a competitive teammate) and completely destroyed him, without thowing his toys out of the pram. Missed the point again. A competitive team mate is one who can challenge his team ma...

I haven't got any goggles on, what was the reason? Vettel cheating or Renault cheating? I guess Ferrari didn't put a foot wrong in the race?

Jomox doesn't understand the difference between reputation and success. I think the people on this forum would have a better knowledge than the average F1 fan, and I believe that people will look back on stats most of the time if they are trying to see if a drivers good or not. They'll look at Alon...

Jomox

His rep has gone downhill since he joined Ferrari. Coming back of 2 World Championships, then failing to win another against a rookie. Generally his time at Ferrari was a fail, that 's how it is seen. Your success is based on the championships won with your teams, and that number is a big fat 0 at F...

Like said one sided excuses to put simple.

Bottas 4th, Massa 7th. And it's not just the standings. Like said I'd suggest to actually watch the races again and not pick out little things to suit Massa, when in reality things where different on race day over the course of the full season.

Jomox

Exactly my point, you have reviewed Massa's problems only, and not actually looked at what happened overall between both drivers and the team. Can't get any more one sided than that.

Agree that he's a touch overrated. With the car he had, he should have been fighting Ricciardo for 3rd place in the championship. This. It's amazing how many people lump him in with Dan. Daniel proved himself by beating a very strong teammate and winning races in a car that was not the best. Bottas...

Jomox

People have short memories so mostly remember stuff that happens in the last races. Overall Bottas has easily beat Massa, just drifted a bit towards the end of the season, but mostly outpaced and out raced him on race day throughout the season. He's made some key mistakes tho, he's had chances to ta...

the Alonso-like absence of errors - Actually Alonso has made a few error's this year especially in qualifying. Daniel has been much more solid and he handles the mental pressure from a team mate like its nothing. Ricciardo also made a few errors in qualifying. Yes but he's drove better than Alonso ...

Not much. Even with Alonso hiding his data from Lewis, Lewis was still the same matching/beating him.

EJ is on crack. Everyone always says this. They said it when he said Schumacher was returning to Merc. They said it when he said Lewis was moving to Merc. I'd very much doubt Ross has left F1 and not been planning a comeback... :uhoh: He makes a lot of bold predictions, and every 1 in a 100 is righ...

[quote="y]So you believe that, roles reversed, Hamilton would have won this season? Would he have been able to have a 50 point advantage coming into the last race with everything being opposite between the two drivers races? Don't think so. I think its quite possible. He held a 17 point lead by hav...

I think its quite possible. He held a 17 point lead by having 1 more DNF and two more back row starts. If you switch it from Hamilton having 1 more, to one less. That is added 2 DNFs to Nico (potentially 50 points) thats before even considering the back row starts. Just look at the first 5 races, r...

Mattiacci will get what he deserves next season Props to Alonso to hit back to Mattiacci, he's really a nobody, hasnt really done anything valuable for the scuderia, and he is probably going to be replaced pretty soon. What's all this bitterness with Mattiacci now, what did he do so wrong against A...

Jomox

Absolutely gutted for Nico. I don't care what anyone says about what happened throughout the season. A championship shouldn't be decided by reliability. 11-6 wins I believe . Even reliability issues. Hmmm. Not quite skewed. :thumbdown: not sure why you are giving the thumbs down here. It's not like...

Jomox

Agreed. It's difficult to see why he's attracting the hatred he is. He hasn't been around long enough to cause that much controversy. It's maybe the fact that Mattiacci praised Kimi a number of times throughout the season and hasn't said a word about Alonso since the week he came on board. The tifo...

Sadly Rosberg was always wishing for a mechanical failure right through the week. Even in the race he was asking what is his place if Hamilton car's breakdown, to make it so vocal didn't look very good. Especially as the issue Rosberg had did not even out the mech issues Hamilton had, even with thi...

If Vandoorne was the 4th driver that Ron mentioned I honestly think he's in with a shout at getting a McLaren seat. He was very impressive yesterday. Why would they though?

Rosberg quite convincingly beat Schumacher. Reality is Schumacher would not have stood a chance against Hamilton. Even at his peak, people are just making out how they like to think that Schumacher would beat Hamilton, it would maybe be very close between them, but the only hard evidence we got to g...

Accidentally voted Button instead of Magnussen I'd keepin Kevin purely because of his age, no doubt Button is the better driver but i think Kevin will be able to learn a lot from Alonso and he has a lot of potential to improve in races because he has got the speed in quali.

Hamilton beat Alonso when they were in the same machinery. End of thread You're 7 years out of date there It happened 7 years ago, but it's the most relevant comparison we have, or will ever have.

I think people are forgetting Alonso's greatest weakness: Pressure from a team mate who can consistently beat him.

Actually only on this forum. Other forums it's the opposite. And in F1 in general, the general opinions are that Alonso & Hamilton are the best on the grid, but both are as evenly matched as you can get.
