Rosberg is nearly as good as Vettel, Raikkonen and Button. It explains his inconsistency vs the slightly inferior Ferrari this year. Ferrari is not "slightly" inferior. I rate Rosberg below those World Champions and also Bottas too. Sorry man. Rosberg beat Schumi, Wurz and Nakajima . But Schuey was...

It is weird that only Fernando Alonso came SO close to achieve this feat after Schumacher <for all those 20 years>, but he couldn't achieve this with one way or another 3 times;

with Mercedes in 2007,
with Ferrari in 2010 and 2012.

Michael Schumacher was the last champion to get a title with more than one engine manufacturer; he got his first title with Ford engines, second one with Renault engines and third one with Ferrari engines. The man who achieved this feat before him was Alain Prost . No champion has accomplished this...

Schumacher forever#1 wrote:...So, for me, it depends on the car for who would come out on top.

I think so.

Having Hulk&Perez at Mercedes with Ham&Ros at Force-India would have made Mercedes as the title favourites with Force-India aiming for points for each race.

A lot depends on car performance. A lot.

If FIA gives the teams millions of money depending on "something", then i will use that "something" as a scale. It's a good measurement but it's more helpful to judge drivers by a variety of statistics, just as a footballer shouldn't be judged only on goals and goalkeepers only on clean sheets. I i...

So you think Hamilton would win in 4 of the 10 cars on the grid. Vettel in the the other 6. What makes you think Vettel would do great with the Renault engine? He couldn't get to grips with it last season? Because he was not given special threatment since Indianapolis 2007. He got what he could. Be...

I offered an insight into my reasoning with WDC points data rather than jump to unjustified opinion. I use more sources of data for my opinions: points, head to head finishes, head to head quali. More data = better evidence. You cherry pick the points data that you want to prove your opinion. You a...

I quite like Hulk. Thought when he came to F1 first he was going to be the one to beat. But, taking into account all said in the posts above, you have to ask- If he is that good, why have none of the top teams taken him? There have been windows in most of the top 4 where he could have been picked. ...

Interesting Bourbon - I think Hamilton would beat Vettel with equal machinery and support - and I'm not a fan of either. If both use Mercedes engines, The Hamilton will "EDGE" sebastian on points like he did to alonso in 2007, to rosberg in 2013, 2014 (sure, Rosberg had better luck), to button in 2...

Why'd Ferrari go after Hamilton when they have Vettel? Maybe Vettel wanted him as teammate? As a side note; i remember Dennis claiming 'Ferrari can have Alonso' back in 2005, just before signing with the Spaniard for 2007 season. How many titles would Alonso have won had he moved to Ferrari and not...

Hulk doesn't get near Lewis or Nico over one lap. Simply doesn't happen no evidence to suggest he does. Over a season I would expect it to be in the realms of 15-4 There's no evidence to suggest he doesn't either. Hulk vs Perez quali 11-8 last season Button vs Perez quali 10-9 2013 season Hamilton ...

..That's because you are looking at things too linearly. Kimi can be average when he has a car that doesn't suit him, but can be very quick when he has one that does. So because he was slow in 2014 doesn't mean that he will be slow in any other car, nor that Alonso would be as far ahead of him in a...

I would love it if Hanilton was up against Hulkenberg. He would out qualify him and not be seen in race days. Hulk was qualified alongside pole-grabbing W04s(2nd in WCC) with his Sauber(6th in WCC), finished a race on merit with a second (+1.000) slower (over-one-lap) car too. He will become "surpr...

Of course the defending against Alonso&Ferrari and Hamilton&Mercedes was not spectacular back in 2013 Korea. Hulk did an excellent job in Korea but it wasn't spectacular. If you compare that to Barrichello 1993-1999: 6 podiums in the 5th best (1994), 6th best (1995), 9th best (1997) and 4th best (1...

RG got his donkey handed to him by Alonso and twice by Raikkonen. He's a decidedly average driver, I am not sure why people keep talking him up. Perez is rather wayward and inconsistent and NH seems grossly overrated. RoGro isn't bad driver, he is just like Rosberg IMO. The same league. I am afraid...

Need4Naiim

Hulk never drove a car that finished even 5th on the WCC. That means Hulk would've had to overdrive 10 better and reliable machines and 5 champions on the track to get a win let alone a championship. Hulkenberg had shown literally nothing to catch the eye of Ferrari, McLaren or Mercedes. The big te...

Need4Naiim

As for Hulkenberg, I still see chances. Suppose that Rosberg leaves Mercedes for whatever reason, or Raikkonen doesn't get a contract extension somewhere between now and 2-3 years, I could see Hulkenberg move up. I agree. Hulkenberg-Hamilton in Mercedes sounds very good for ME. I do not want to see...

I expect Fernando to reach 53 wins, Jenson to reach 29, Hamilton to reach 40. I do not have a guess about Vettel&Raikkonen as of now. I just completed my prediction about Vettel.

Well it's probably the hardest position any F1 driver has found themselves in since, what, the past 10-15 years?

This still stands. My point being it is more likely Nicos form stems from losing the championship than the Spa incident and the evidence provided suggest I would be correct. Yes, I kind of agree.

Nico seems to be in a lose-lose situation when it comes to Lewis fans, he'll be attacked regardless of his performace relative to Lewis. True. We didn't forget the cracked chassis.

From those three, only HULKENBERG did not drive against a World Champion teammate. He beat a more experienced Perez with a bigger margin than the WDC Button.

...But I see your point. If Rosberg completely dominates Hamilton at a future GP; it might not be a Rosberg masterclass; which he is more than capable of, but rather a desperate attempt by Rosberg to avoid confrontational issues stemming from Spa. Rosberg will never be able to completely dominate L...

If anything I would say Rosberg was more aggressive post Spa.
