Re: Rate the Most Naturally Talented Drivers Ever.

Being more intelligent is a natural talent, you don't have to do anything to be intelligent. Acquiring data is studying, which isn't a natural talent, it is work. Pounding the test track until sunset isn't a natural talent, it is work. Which not every driver was/is in a position to perform, simply ...

Re: Rate the Most Naturally Talented Drivers Ever.

Many people leaving Raikkonen out of their list is a bit odd since almost every F1 analyst and pundit believes he's the driver with the most natural talent on the grid. There are quotes from Ferrari saying he didn't need to be told how to go faster (using data etc), he was just told where he was sl...

Re: Sutil: Sauber would be good place for a return

Any team could do a lot worse than hire Sutil. So I voted yes.

Re: Karthikeyan & the FIA hit back at Vettel

If I were Vettel, and I saw a replay of what happened, I would call Karthikeyan and offer my apologies. It's not the first time he was wrong about something, and it won't be the last. We're all human, and so is Karthikeyan. So I'm sure he would accept the apology.

Re: Narain Clownikeyan is a road Hazard

I just can't help thinking about Hamilton's "monkeys at the back" comment when reading some of the posts here. The main reason why backmarkers now have to move over for leaders, is that sometimes time was lost by the leader in overcoming traffic in regard to those chasing. In other words, in the old...

Oh great.

The first part of my post was rather a defense of Massa than of Alonso's skills. It seems that now there is a tendency to dismiss Massa as if he had always been good for nothing, when in fact he has had some good races too, and has fought with some of the generally considered top drivers of this sp...

Rubens could and did win. And yes, once Schumi was established as the best Ferrari chance in a given year, Rubens became more support.
