Re: Christian Horner Allegations Thread

Re: Max vs Teammates
most data you see on here is done in retrospect months sometimes years after so a simple median is used, just throw everything in the pot. I wouldn't agree with this characterization that the median is simpler (it's not) or that its usage indicates 'throwing everything in the pot'. You can quite ea...

Re: PF1 Forum TMW 2024 prediction thread 1: Haas and Stake
So one fluke result can determine you're exceptional, KMag got a pole position for Haas not long back, with Alonso he finished below his teammate in the WDC, exceptional would be more like podiums because actually scoring points now and again doesn't seem to really register. No, I never said that. ...
