Re: Who will finish higher in the WDC 2021, Stroll or Vettel?

I used to think Lace Stroll didn't deserve his seat in F1. Yes, he had won championships leading up to F1, but they were skewed in my opinion due to the teams being either the best around or teammate's not really allowed to challenge. I thought Williams were crazy to sign him when they did, despite...

Yes, a very sad day for me too yesterday. Williams was the team that got me hooked on F1 in the mid 80s. I've supported them ever since.

Indeed, I think the only thing that these statistics definitely prove is that there can't be a conspiracy about faking of deaths.

Covid-19 is responsible directly or indirectly for a massive spike in the death rate this year. That cannot be disputed by any tin foil hat wearer, surely?
