Re: The Official Lewis Hamilton thread
TheJudge13 is a banned source on this forum. Was this reported anywhere else? Seems a ridiculous claim to make tbh. The original source was Auto Motor und Sport and was further reported in various other publications such as the Judge13, F1 Today , grandprix.com and indeed PF1 itself. What Berger cl...

Re: The Official Lewis Hamilton thread
It's a pretty universal opinion. Man I'd say even Nico himself would agree! No it is not universal at all.

Re: Hardest records to break?
Hamilton holds a rather unique record - most consecutive seasons with at least one win from debut season i.e. a win in every season since he started (10 seasons and hopefully, still counting). For obvious reasons, i would imagine this is another record that would be difficult to beat or emulate?

Stats can be manipulated any way you choose. To compare Rosberg, you have to look at his teammate and 3-time champ Hamilton - and Rosberg is right there, sometimes besting his teammate. If you really think Rosberg isn't the best driver not to win a title, then you probably think Hamilton isn't top ...
