The greatest battle ever in F1, at Dijon 1979 was open wheel and close racing. Yet it was much slower than cars these days. And we still call it the greatest battle ever.

Rosberg didn't win in 2016 - far from it. He was outdriven by Lewis for the entire year, but very bad mechanical luck cost Lewis that championship. There were several things which made Rosberg get the WDC Title. 1. He conquered Hamilton strongholds, such as Spa, Monza and Suzuka. 2. He had a great ...

Oh but if we're including former drivers then I have only one entry 3 times: Michael Schumacher The bane of my childhood. I supported every driver that ever went up against him. And my anti-Schumacher thing was justified after all the dodgy things he did. He was an occasional cheat, Ferrari were ch...

Lt. Drebin

I just can not imagine Ocon getting the same number of pole positions like Hamilton and beating him occasionally, like Bottas did 4/12 this year. He would be labeled super-talented.

Lt. Drebin

Not to be too controversial, but... In Australia, Leclerc ended up catching Vettel at the end of the race due to strategy, was much quicker, but was told not to pass. In Hungary, Vettel ended up catching Leclerc at the end of the race due to strategy, was much quicker, and was allowed to pass. What...

To keep the balance with the thread started by Invade, I created this one with three most favored driver. Sebastian Vettel - one of the most genuine and humble guy. Down to earth, good with jokes and even sketches. His video as a car mechanic Puchovsky was hilarious, as well as many other jokes. Ver...

Lt. Drebin

Lewis Hamilton - his ego is tastelessly super big, and I specially dislike that kind of people. His running mouth has already put him in trouble more than any other driver. His saying that, when beating his rivals, inflicting the pain on them makes it more enjoyable for him, reveals that deep inside...

While the car is very important, one more parameter comes into play: how much is a specific car in accordance with the liking of the driver. In certain cases also: around which driver is the car built. Step further: how much set of rules regarding the cars favor one driver over the other. So, nothin...

Lt. Drebin

If Ocon will lack those 0,2 or 0,3 seconds to Hamilton it would be bearable. But if the difference is 0,5 or 0,6 seconds per lap, we will have a new Gasly on the road, crisis in Mercedes and big pressure on them. I think Mercedes should not gamble, but then, I do not own the marque and it's up to th...

Lt. Drebin

You are going too far in the past. And in the past, Bottas was ordered to move for Hamilton, which might have affected his standings. Does it make a difference? Not big, but it's not black and white. Also, we know not is the support to both driver the same. There are a few unknown parameters which c...

Lt. Drebin

If it comes out that Bottas is out at Mercedes, will he still be a team player to Hamilton?

Lt. Drebin

One more thing: how many times Mercedes faked the pit stop today? I guess there is a rule for it, but haven't seen that it is applied, neither today, nor in the past.

Lt. Drebin

Ham did really well, congrats to him, as well as Max, who again put a good showing. Someone had to win, Ham got it right. In team department, RBR learned a valuable lesson, but Mercedes' car seemed to have an edge over RBR's car anyway. Ferrari lost it again against big ones, Vettel even got a 6 sec...

Lt. Drebin

Max, Norris and Russel, drivers of the day.

Lt. Drebin

Probably he has a right to do so. But, he said so only after the GP was finished, so I also think that it has to do with the result.

Lt. Drebin

Some would say it was because Russel missed turn 2, but let me say that Kubica didn't, so full props to him! I am very glad for him, and it looks like he broke a record for biggest time margin between scoring points. 8 years, 8 months and 14 days between F1 points scores. https://www.gpfans.com/en/a...

Lt. Drebin

Friday rain 60%,
Saturday dry, rain 6%.
Sunday probably dry, 43% of rain.

Lt. Drebin

Finally someone lining Wehrlein. I really liked the way he drives, I hope he gets it.

Lt. Drebin

Subttle dig at Alonso from Honda F1 twit: "Thats GP2 victories in 2019"

Hamilton had one really bad race, and you are losing your mind?
Actually, I am quite often congratulating Lewis for his victories.

WO-ho! BEST race so far this year! Stellar performances by Verstappen, Vettel, Kvyat and Stroll. Mercedes wished for rain, they got it... the morale of the story, watch out what you wish for, it may come true :lol: Lewis made two mistakes, Bottas one. Quite uncharacteristic for them.

Lt. Drebin

Yes, Vettel has finished - second from the last position.

The circulating story is that the car is not after his liking. Just like in RBR 2014.

Stewards were harsh on Lewis today. How? Looking back at the crash, it was impossible for him to round the bollard unless he faced the oncoming cars. The other option was to go round the track with a broken wing. I beg your pardon? He made a driving mistake, then just cut it to pitbox like there is...

Mercedes again sandbagging, "we are in trouble", "only rain can help us" and other utter nonsense. Ferrari - the heads should roll till the end of the day, or they remain a laughable circus.

What makes you think Gasly has a shot at victory?

Lewis unwell, Max and Bottas take each other out.

Ah, that Williams looks hopeless again. Lewis so far has an upper hand on Bottas. Stroll shows some quality driving. OT: One thing hit me this day: I looked into the 2019 race results and realized that the best result that the rest of the grid, bare top three teams, has got in all races so far was 6...

Thanks for sharing Unlikeday, With the effort I am actually not impressed. What, an old logo and inscription in the old fonts, change half of the car in white, and that's it?
