Re: The Baku Chaos Theory
I think whats trying to be said is that it was all part of Lewis' plan and he is next tier driving god compared to Vettel, Alonso, Ricciardo, Verstappen, Senna, Schumacher, Hakkinen, Stewart, Hill (both) and Sterling Moss

Re: Time to talk about Grosjean
I think Kmag has stepped it up this year and Grosjean is suffering from a spell of bad luck. In the past I have slated the guy for all the crashing but I actually do enjoy his driving style and personality.

Re: Mercedes v Ferrari v Red Bull - 2018 edition
I'm not convinced of the drop in quali for mercedes, the tyres seem to be the main problem. Not being able to switch them on in the practice sessions, not being able to find the sweet spot setup wise, excessive wear. I've seen it over so many seasons with them, it always effects Lewis more than the ...

Re: PF1 Forum teammate wars vote: Bahrain
The reason I took Hamilton over Bottas is because Bottas had the opportunity to win this race and failed. Hamilton, Vettel, Ricciardo, Verstappen were in his position in that car they would have overtaken a car struggling on its tyres and won.

Re: Hamilton's crash record Vs his peers.
at the beginning of his career he didnt encounter a lot of crashes that where directly his fault it was only in the RBR dominance years when he was trying to over drive the car to keep pace that he came a cropper a few times. I still remember the car magnets that were him and Massa Bad Bad times.

Ferrari definitely at this stage, but I think the balance may shift dependant on tyre. The softer tyres work better on the Ferrari but the medium to hard seem to swing in mercs favour.

Re: Lewis doesn't want to share data with Bottas
The type of data Lewis is talking about is driving lines and braking points, this should not be shared between team mates. Otherwise what's the point of having a WDC at all?
Car setups, tyre strategy is more of a grey area as they have a limited amount of time to get this right.
