To stay in topic, I have no idea who those Kimi fans are... seriously. And if i ever heard a rude driver on the radio, it has to be Kimi. Hamilton may not be popular among F1 "purists" and people culturally living in the past, but he is the one with most fans on social media. Bernie is no fool . In...

McLaren.. the laughing stock of F1. :thumbdown: Ferrari, the biggest known F1 team was known among poor villagers and future adults thanks to Schumacher and his achievements, not because they saw some guy doing burnout on the main street. McLaren decision to make road cars was a very good one. At th...

The last time we had a race where 3 teams genuinely were in contention for victory on pure pace was back in Hungary 2013. That is quite an extraordinary drought. We've had half a year of Red Bull domination followed by 1.5 years of Mercedes domination. The lack of competition in Formula 1 for the p...

That sounds as if Alonso's greatness is dependent on the inferiority of his peers. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for 'best driver' when all your competitors are crap. I'd think discussing his achievements rather than those things he didn't actually achieve would better support a top grid rank f...

I was right when i said Alonso was better off retiring after his accident during testing because his reputation is actually higher than his talent and actual achievements. His 2007 season is defined poor when he was actually pushed out of his control zone and was simply slower with worse racecraft. ...

What did i write on the above post that is not sensible? The whole of your initial post was misplaced to begin with. That being said, I was talking about your posting behaviour about Alonso in general. Which is in line with what you describe about others doing to Hamilton. One of the reason I don't...

It should be clear to anybody with a modicum of intelligence that it is simply not allowed or sensible to do it.

I wonder how is McLaren viewed now? As a Midfield or as a Top team?

How was Mercedes considered before he joined them? Were there not pundits and all the forum calling him stupid because Mercedes was a terrible team?

What will happen when he will drive for Ferrari? Will they become a Top team again?

Pullrod

Of course Hamilton is nothing special and the stats in question are not impressive as he has always had front running cars(who knows why?) unlike Alonso -whose reputation certainly exceeds his talent- who always has slow cars(who knows why?). Ferrari was doomed to fail and languish in the 15th place...

"Failing miserably" would imply he never had a shot at the title, which he did multiple times Only in 2010 and 2012. That's two years out of five. In 2012 he shouldn't have had a chance, but Vettel and Red Bull made multiple blunders/DNFs in the first half of the season, and Alonso himself got a ge...

This and This :thumbup: :thumbup: I understand it will not be a popular opinion here(for obvious reasons) , but I have been wondering myself what could have happened if Ferrari had hired Hamilton or Vettel in 2010 instead of Alonso. Alonso could be a 7 time world champion. :-P The delusion of grand...

Wow really u people are somehing. Stop saying Seb designed the car, he didn't. Stop saying Alonso is a 'toxic' and 'demotivates' the team, because he didn't. Stop spouting things that are not real and give(designers, mechanics, engineers) the credit they deserve.. I think a lot of people put the bl...

Ultimately, this is all that Alonso wanted - to be given a car capable of winning races. But he received such a car every year at Ferrari except for 2014. Ferrari is capable of making race-winning cars. He knew that, but that simply didn't do it anymore for him. Indeed, but I do wonder whether Ferr...

The mistake many people do is that they tend to isolate the driver performance from the team as a whole. I have said(and I stil believe it) that Alonso is the wrong driver when it comes to developing a car or motivate a team. And he has showed it again now at McLaren when he wanted to give his own(b...

@davidheath461 Like I said before someone has to compliment always Alonso to be considered credible(God like figure thing). Sorry but you don't decide who is and who is not. Regarding the Monaco race, the team radio was in Italian(I think) that I am sure you don't understand. Massa radioed the box b...

Typical Alonso detractors. If anyone says anything remotely good about Alonso they have to shoot them down. You are kidding me right? That's what I read all the day on this forum. Every thread has the words "Alonso is the best"(although he is winning nothing). If you can't see that he has less detr...

Alonso was never going to Ferrari in 2000/01. Briatore said the deal was never on, just discussed at a verbal level, and Alonso was always planned to be a Renault driver from late 1999 when Flavio stuck him in the Minardi set to gain some experience. Ferrari and their eyes on Raikkonen far more tha...

I think Lewis was hiding something in Free practice on purpose. If you notice, in their two years together, whenever Lewis had a problem and didn't run in FPs, he ended Up faster.

Vettel in Ferrari has nothing to do with Ricciardo. If anything, RB knew he was leaving for Ferrari. There have been contacts between Vettel and Ferrari since 2008, the season he won the Monza GP driving a TorroRosso a team based in Faenza, not very far away from Maranello. Even Schumacher pushed hi...

Clearly some of you are not living in Italy and don't read the media.

........On the other hand, Rosberg also kept him on his toes. And I could see the improvement he made because his fuel consumption was equal to that of Hamilton for the whole race.

Amazing to think that Alonso hasn't had the best car on the grid since the middle of 2006! That will be nearly 10 seasons come the end of 2015 :!: The length of Senna's career.

It's my conviction that if you put anybody in Rosberg's car you would have had the same final result. Where Hamilton shines and is really head and shoulders above anybody is in wheel to wheel combat.

How often was Massa first in 2009? AFAIR, Massa followed Alonso home in 2nd place on two ocassions (Bahrain 2010, Germany 2010) so your claim that it "didn't happen" is incorrect. Notice how those two occasions happened at the start of their partnership and in the first part of their first season t...
