What I'm not that sure of tbh is why Alonso is so determined to do it with Macca. You'd think considering his only goal is a one off race that he'd be better placed to run with a standout team with bags of experience like an Andretti rather than what will be a bit of a newb one off outfit with McLa...

Wonder how Honda will feel if Alonso would win the Indy 500 in a car powered by a CHEVROLET !!! Would they feel good that he wasn't using a Honda powered car? ;) Well it seems that bridge between the two is burnt so hard there is no way for any cooperation in the future, they would have to swallow ...

I've heard from a well informed journalist that it was purely Honda decision, they just didn't want Alonso to drive a car with their engine. All the story behind with Chevy is a PR stuff.

Alonso was leading in an inferior car going into the final race and you consider that not to be a notable performance? I believe Hamilton was in mathematical contention going into the last race whilst Button was in mathematical contention going into the last 2 races, these being teammates and also ...

It's very strange thinking, this way I can say that Rubens Barichello is a better driver than Hamilton because the only time he had a winning car and was on equal treatment he beat Lewis in 2009 :D Alonso and Hamilton is not even debatable for me, only Vettel fanboys can disagree they were better in...

Whoever it was I think he shouldn't talk about it. I find it kind of unprofessional and maybe a bit rude to Renault. It's like "I was almost a Ferrari driver but someone fu...d me up and now I'm gonna drive this yellow dog car..." at least I understand it a bit this way...

The fact is that Vettel had the better car and team during that window of time and Hamilton performed better than him in 2012. If we look at the entire 12 seasons that they have been in F1 together, I'd say 2011 and 2013 are the only two years where Vettel performed better than Hamilton as a driver...

Vettel > Hamilton was actually a wildely held view in 2013, at the time it was hard to find someone who thought the opposite . 2014 changed everything. Not true in the slightest. Many people in and around F1 have always rated Hamilton above Vettel. I think almost everyone things Vettel was better 2...

I personally never liked Vettel. But you dont win 4 championships back to back even in dominant car without being world class driver, specially the way he has won 2 close ones by performing in last race when it mattered the most with all the pressure in the world on him to win. From the other hand,...

I have a feeling that car performance has too big impact on those rankings

Honestly I have a feeling that Haas driver lineup is one of the worst if not the worst on entire grid.

The most underrated driver of the last 20 years is Jarno Trulli. Along with Hamilton, Trulli is the only driver who has beaten Alonso in qualifying as teammates. Likewise, unlike other journeymen of his era (DC, Rubens, Webber, Fisi) he never got an opportunity to drive a great car. He was a victim...

If Perez doesn't comfortably beat Stroll we need to get Sirtokin back in F1. I would be willing to bet you a sizable pile of money that Perez will beat Stroll comfortably.

Stroll already was destroyed by post accident Massa and outqualified by Sirotkin, no idea where is this hidden potential in him that some people here are seeing. People do not rate Stroll because he has never proved to be F1 level driver. And the fact that after 2 seasons of poor performance he's no...

You think that Mercedes should have bought a F1 team for a junior driver? Not for any one junior driver, no. But for the sake of the program, they either need a junior team or a working agreement with some team lower down the ladder. Even Toto Wolff has admitted that there are serious flaws with th...

I think Leclerc also cannot be underrated, the hype around him now is so huge that next year he only can be find out as overrated (as many people picking him to beat Vettel). from the rest...

Final times after first day. Stroll... :lol: Stroll is a good driver. I think he may surprise a few people in a decent car. Cmon, we all know he would have never been in F1 without his Daddy money.

Wonder how Sainz feels about moving to McLaren... the team may be more prestigious but surely odds are Renault will be the faster car in the year(s) to come. I assume that he feels lucky to have a seat at all, considering he was dumped by Renault and obviously out of favor at Red Bull. Macca may no...

Ricciardo lead Max when Verstappen pit, but came out 8s behind. Max finished the year two points ahead of Bottas. If he'd finished fourth in Abu Dhabi (and Ricciardo third) he'd have finished one point behind Valtteri. The result was undeniably orchestrated by Red Bull. I am 99% certain Ricciardo w...

Overtaking was so impossible in Canada that Rosberg managed to overtake Ricciardo and Raikkonen and should have overtaken Verstappen but spun at the chicane.

Never counted, but I remember first one very good. 1994 Adelaide... Schumacher introduced me to the sport with his epic move on Damon Hill

Didn't watch regularly mostly during Schumacher Ferrari and Vettel Red Bull era as it was too boring, but for sure there is few hundreds on the counter.

No need to talk about obvious things but I have one pick which might be very unpopular. I think Giovinazzi might be way closer to Kimi than most of people think. He won't win in points as Kimi is very experienced and with good race craft he will bring home more points for sure, but I'm so totally un...

guess it's more about the style. Losing itself doesn't have to be bad but... 21-0 in qualifying? No matter who is your teammate being destroyed 21-0 can suggest that maybe the guy with 0 is not F1 level material.

McLaren will struggle to go back to the top as they really made some bad decisions due to lack of patience. They dropped Honda engines mainly to keep Alonso in team, they lost some money, few years of development process and now they have no Honda as a partner, no Alonso in the team and pretty much ...

Voted for Hamilton. If Mercedes had two Bottases then we'd all be saying they had the third best race car today. No one would say this as the performance was there Bottas was just poor.
