Surprised this has garnered so much interest. Monster have been doing this sort of thing since the MS days.

Could it be that Hamilton has raised his own bar in this respect? From very good to exceptional to the point where he would probably need to do something out of this world (metaphorically) to win the vote. It was something thrown at the Ham detractors for a number of years; 'why do you hold him to ...

Not sure Crutchlow shouldn't get the nod before Zarco, and Zarco could then go to LCR, if they rated him, which they might. He's been doing a good job on Takaa's bike, especially last week. There could be some other names out there. It's an exciting yet daunting opportunity at the same time. Gettin...

The best part is World Champ and I can’t remember him being voted driver of the day this season (or last). :lol: :?

Honestly I'd like to see both Crofty and Brundle replaced for different reasons. Croft for his incompetence and lack of focus and Brundle for the fact that his views fail to evolve with current events. The broadcast is in need of fresh blood. Brundle seems to have got old and lost his vibrancy, som...

No I'm not just talking about factual criticism, as I said no one is liked by all. This is true but then again what's wrong with pointing it out? Nothing.

COTA 2019. Didnt know the order of the first four cars, which way round the Ferrari's were, and mistook the big 5 on the front of the Ferrari for Leclerc.

I wouldn't have thought so. But what do you think? And does it matter? Some people don't like Max, or Toto, or croft (yea I now, hard to believe) and we have threads on that. Is this one any different?

. I ASSUME (?) that the FIA can go through all the race (and practice date) to see how the Ferrari engine performance has changed over the season, and for the future races to see what the recorded fuel flow/power relationship has been (and will be).

So, if I have read this correctly, we have two pages of discussion as to whether Paul di Resta heaped enough praise on Lewis?

I don't think Paul could have been much more positive than he just was on the Sky broadcast. He was quite effusive in his sort of straightforward way. More news at 11.

Not something I've ever noticed, I would guess that the impression of bias probably comes mostly from di Resta's generally negative demeanour. The only figure within the sport who I notice really does seem to have it in for Lewis is Jackie Stewart. I hadn't really noticed it till recently, but to b...

But we haven't seen Bottas this strong at this stage of the season. He was convincingly strong the last 3 races and overtook hamilton twice here. When does that ever happen?

Have Merc decided to support Valtteri for the rest of the year to make sure that he gets second in the WDC and they can claim a WDC 1&2??? Toto looked very happy about Bottas' pole.

I think most people are basing their views on the totality and trajectory of the current season. So the 2019 season, rather than your unique 'exactly a full season'.

Hamilton set another record this season, most wins not starting from pole position within a season - 8. 10 wins and 8 are not from pole, quite a crazy statistic.

He may hang it up with seven championships if he exceeds Schumacher's race win total.
