Re: The 100 Greatest of All Time (Update)

The last paragraph is irrelevant as Bottas >> Perez_2023. The entire argument that Perez isn’t good is based on his record against Verstappen, as his record against anyone else is more than respectable, including Button. You're being a little disingenuous here, as usual when the topic of Verstappen...

Re: Christian Horner Allegations Thread

Quote from Eccleston on the matter, for what it's worth. Can it have negative value? I'm slightly less likely to believe that statement than I would have been if Ecclestone had never spoken. Well I kind of had a similar thought but it does tie in neatly with one of the hypotheses floating around.

Who has Verstappen beat? The reason why Verstappen’s record against his teammates is rated so highly is not because of who he beats, but because of how relentlessly he beats them. And of course, when Hamilton has Gasly level drivers as his teammates (such as Bottas), he still does not beat them wit...

Ok so that does clarify it a little.
