RIP Jessie. I always enjoyed her time on Overhaulin and a couple of other programs. She was not just a pretty face either. Condolences to her loved ones. Jessie already held the record she was trying to break and the North American Eagle was hardly a "hackjob", but that is for a different thread.

Vettel has been in a dominant Ferrari, set up to his specs, given Number 1 status, with a World Champion as a team mate and still didn't beat Hamilton. He needs poll, a clean start and clean air in a dominant car to win. Doesn't that indicate that Lewis tips the scales? Would like to exchange opini...

:lol: Remote control race car drones....like!y coming our way. Yes people sat in their armchairs can be so brave on behalf of the drivers, ignore what David Land had to say which was a constructive way forward for Ponoco, I'm really surprised at the seemingly low regard for driver safety. Poker, I ...

TBF that is true. Not really relevant but it is true.

Agreed, it is true. The point is not only is it irrelevant, but it is what I have been expecting from the source since the thread started.

I think that if enough people want to do an activity and enough people are interested in it to make it a financial viable pursuit then it shouldn't be for anyone else to tell them their interest is unacceptable and prevent it from happening. I wouldn't race the Isle of Man TT for all the tea in Chi...

Have I missed something again? Where do you get this inside information that you present as fact?

Blake

I do agree to a certain extent but it's the responsibility of the governing body of the sport to make the series as safe as reasonably practicable. If the sport has outgrown Pocono making it unsafe for racing then IndyCar has a responsibility to act in the interest of safety. Now that could mean re...

Team statement says Sato did not turn left (based on telemetry) https://speedsport.com/indy/indycar-series/team-comes-to-satos-defense-after-pocono-crash/ I saw that article and at first dismissed it as I would Goto defending Lewis or Ferrari defending Seb. Seeing the post about the on board video ...

Blake

Personally, I like the oval/road course mix. I don't see how blame for Sunday's accident can be p!aced anywhere but in Sato and perhaps his spotter. We go simply turned down when he wasn't even remotely clear of Rossi. That isn't the fault of the track. BTW, to be technical, Pocono isn't an oval, it...

It is rather obvious, poker. Mikey tends to believe Prost more than Mansell. Is that a crime? He has explained that he finds both claims suspect, yet that isn't enough for you? I don't believe either driver, but.... No I'm pointing out the different standards that get applied in such cases, also po...

How did the lap times look in the 4-5 laps before the red flag? How many cars put it into the wall during those laps? Genuine questions and would shed a lot of light on how political it was to stop the race. Edit- it seems no cars DNF’d in the 8 laps prior to the red flag. Ickyx was also suspended ...

Pretty much everyone that's worked with Prost says how unpolitical he was. Ask Nigel Mansell, I think it's without question that he asked and was given preferential treatment at Ferrari, the story about swapping cars is also something I've heard before, if that's not politics then what is? Prost ha...

Actually, to be technical, it is an F1 & Motorsport Forum according to the title. However, I think most are taking the OP's question to be an F1 question, otherwise the list displayed by some should be much different.

Being one of the few In here who was around In the era of Stirling Moss the driver, I can tell you that Moss reached "legendary" status In his own time.

How many people have Moss in their top 10?

I do.

Blake

No. At one time I thought he was working is way up the list, but not now. Only Alonso among current/recent would push for a spot in my Top Ten, though Lewis is getting closer.

Blake

Blake, I responded to a post claiming that Vettel was the only one of the top 5 who did not make a mistake. That is evidently wrong. Fact. I really do not see how you can keep denying this? I didn't deny a damned thing, Lasardi I did point out that Vettel did NOT crash contrary to what your post se...

He did - off-track in the last lap and plain lucky not to crash. however...he did NOT crash, but instead came from 20th on the grid to 2nd on the podium...normally a notable accomp!ishment. Oh no, not for Vettel as we all know, just imagine it was him who crashed from the lead behind the SC, a lot ...

Did Seb spin at all? I can't remember. He was the only one of the "Big 5" to not make a mistake as far as I remember.

angellle sampey was badass in her day it seems pretty simple, there aren't large numbers of girls in racing at a young age, like there are boys. so more men move to the top as the get older, and more experience the force women shouldn't have anything taken away from their skills, just because of th...

Until I see any other team do something similar to what ferrari did to Massa at cota 2012 I will always regard them as the team orders champs. Yes every team uses orders but ferrari seems to invent new ways to apply them and rarely let you feel that their drivers are on equal footing. To me it is t...

I'm willing to GO ALL IN on a wager that not a single one of the top 10 drivers in every series you can imagine, is female. Brittany and Courtney Force would like to have a word. Although I just read that Courtney retired in January, but has over 100 funny car wins and was 6th in last years standin...

On the plus side, Blake doesn't have to update his signature very often. :lol: true enough. However, the numbers in the signature are still superior despite this slump...and no one close(ie McLaren & Williams) has gained in them either. Gotta give it to a great Red Bull stretch of years and an incr...

Just throw a VSC and close the pitlane. Job done. Is the problem here that it's deemed that Hamilton won the race because of a safety car? Nope. The problem is the corruption of the race. Well of all the countless SC's we have had over the years I have to ask myself why now specifically are people ...

Alien you have to get a copy of his contract and his approval to post here Oh, I don't know about that.

Contractually? Proof please, Alien. I thought it was common knowledge Ferrari had stipulated Vettel was the favoured driver, but here you go: https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/26004244/ferrari-prioritise-sebastian-vettel-charles-leclerc-early-races That is not necessarily a contract though, Alien....

I can't recall them. Would you mind nominating them, please?

Come now, my friend, I know you remember that year.

Blake

How many incidents will the powers that be let Vettel get involved with before they start talking race bans? It's getting to the point where it's not fair on those he's racing. True, but then Lewis had his year of punting others frequently and was not banned, so I'd guess it won't happen now either.

I find it interesting that there are such interesting lines being drawn here. With this incident and the Vettel one last race, we find some screaming for the the strictest application of the "rules" as it applies to one situation, but willing to accept less in the other. Personally, I would apply "r...
