If all the current drivers were in a Royal Rumble ring to fight to be World Champion...who would win?

Yes! This.

I scream at the TV when this happened.

If I remember correctly I said along the lines of...

"I don't want to see stuffing (not as nice a word) Geri Halliwell!! I want to see the cars...change the camera! Jeez!"

The most overrated person in F1 for the last 4 years or so is DEFINITELY Kimi Raikkonen. 100%. He is just a cult figure so his fan base thinks he is amazing yet only won the WDC by the scruff of his neck. And has been talked about like he is the best out there where Alonso, Hamilton, Vettel have alw...

That sounds fair and pretty reasonable.

Why are we seeing this more and more recently of marshals? Or is that just how the cookie crumbles sometimes?

Rather see a safety car than see someone's life get risked. End of. However there are levels of risk. In this case the level was too high but I think it would be wrong to say that would automatically be the case in all similar cases. That's not a good precedent to set. It should not be down to the ...

Most, if not all, drivers act brattish or slightly brattish when they are in a title fight and are losing. When they are losing partly down to mechanical failure or bad luck, that brattish-ness gets worse. This isn't exactly news. They all like to throw their toys out the pram. I'm a big Hamilton fa...

Hi ladies and gentlemen, When I am bored, I have a little play around with Photoshop. I took a basic template of a F1 car and then took some brand livery colours - applying them to the car. (Pretty similar to how Red Bull approach their livery). Here I have done: Pepsi http://s7.postimg.org/tyg6c9bg...

Just YouTube Vettel funny and there is so much! Ha...used to dislike him in his red bull days but really warming to him since Ferrari days.

One of the guys on the grid with a great sense of humour. Love his animated reactions to some strange questions!

From the rear I think its not ugly at all, just different. There is different and then there is ugly - I'd say the latter. MAYBE if it was smaller then I'd see it less of an eye sore. That Ferrari though at No.1 is lush though! Lotus have always been good at making lovely cars but I must say that n...

And Alonso has himself praised Hamilton many times. So what is your point again? It seems to me that all this praise "the best this" "the best that" is thrown there to counterbalance the success Hamilton and Vettel have had all these years . The team principals early this year have voted and Hamilt...

Niki Lauda, Brabham BT46B, 1978

I'm sorry but that car might have looked good on the front but the rear totally spoils it and makes it incredibly ugly in my view!

olly-44

Top 3 are easy, after that it gets a lot more difficult to compare 1. Schumacher - goes without saying 2. Alonso - as above, consistently came close to Vettel and beat Hamilton, while driving worse machinery than either. Unbelievably bad luck when it comes to cars, but on the other hand that is wha...

olly-44

I thought the 2008 McLaren was a ghastly mess, lots of horrid winglets sticking out all over the place. I'd have put it on the 'ugliest' list personally. Love the Eagle MK1 though, it really is a work of art Yeah! I must agree with you re: the winglets - wasnt the best look was it? I actually prefe...

olly-44

You mean this one?

Yeah that one was pretty bad - however in the MyTop10YourTop10 blog thing, there are some horrendous noses too - but that Ensign though!!

olly-44

Actually, I would disagree with about 2/3 of his Best Looking of All Time list. However, I find it hard to argue with many of his Ugliest list, there are some truly ugly cars on it..... however, I would have a tough time narrowing a list down to 10! To begin with, I don't find ANY F1 car of this ce...

A list which includes drivers whose career is still running comparing them to drivers whose career has finished. I find it pretty useless. Why would that be useless? Accomplishments are accomplishments, whether you still have your career yet to finish or have already finished? Surely? Alonso ,Butto...

I think Vettel should go above Hakkinen in my opinion. other than that, I do struggle to rank a 6 - 10...as then it gets complicated. some drivers on their day are amazing, i.e. Button and some are consistently good like Rosberg but do they deserve to be in the top 10 of the past 2 decades - big que...

Schumacher forever#1 Like you said, its subjective. From what I gather, I think they want this debate exactly, and people to put their Top 10. I see they have a Twitter and Facebook - just liked/followed (whatever it is)...gonna write my Top 10 back to them on there (after work, as I need to give it...

olly-44

Yeah, I can see why Vettel over Hakkinen. Alonso above Lewis? Despite my name of 'olly-44', I am not a Lewis fanboy but I would put him JUST above Alonso...but its only slightly. I suppose the only way to determine between those two is when their careers have ended. I do agree though on this blog th...

So, I randomly found this person's blog on Top 10s. They have ranked their own Top 10 F1 drivers of the past 20 years (must be their era?). https://my10your10.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/best-formula-one-drivers-of-the-past-20-years/ I agree with most of what they have said - maybe a bit harsh on Jenso...

Wow - the guy just cannot catch a break. He has genuine pace but is reportedly losing out on the Ferrari seat to Bottas. I like Bottas - he seems like a smooth driver and a nice guy - very loyal. But he is overrated as well, only slightly. I dont think he has that EDGE a driver needs to be for Ferra...

I made my debut at the Brazilian Grand Prix

I have raced over 150 Grand Prix

I have driven for 5 different engine suppliers

I think his words are blown out of proportion. In my opinion, I believe he is saying that he doesn't want to just enjoy the ride, but be able to be competitive and win things (which he has done in the past, and so has got the bit between his teeth to get back to that place). I dont think its a dig a...

olly-44

this is quite cool to look at as a bit of fluff but surely cannot be taken seriously. I am sure, in each series/formulas/competition that there are certain drivers in the wrong place at the wrong time (i.e. Alonso). Therefore, the results do not give an accurate representation to true quality/skill/...

olly-44

MERCEDES - Hamilton & Ricciardo
FERRARI - Vettel & Bottas
WILLIAMS - Button & Rosberg
MCLAREN - Alonso & Verstappen
RED BULL - Hulkenberg & Perez
TORRO ROSSO - Sainz Jr & Nasr
FORCE INDIA - Vandoorne & Lynn
LOTUS - Grosjean & Palmer
SAUBER - Massa & Kvyatt
MANOR - Stevens & Kobayashi

I think I can grasp what the OP is getting at, but the starting conditions are not made clear! Firstly, I will assume the listed drivers are all in the same car (or at least in cars that are very close on overall pace) and have duly fully adjusted to the cars setup, behaviour etc -(I'm thinking Kim...

The hypothetical scenario is that there is a 4 horse race for the WDC. It's your job to choose the 4 most EXCITING drivers for this, who would it be? Note: this is NOT who you think are the best for drivers but the ones who would make the fight interesting. For example, some people might have chosen...

You are being too sensitive. +1 +1 +1 If you was a football fan you would be called any name under the sun for getting touchy over it. That's sports, no offence but just wondering how old are you and how experienced are you in the world of sports. People can be very passionate regardless of the spo...

olly-44

Maybe it's my naivety towards it or idealistic optimism for the sport to be different from football and be more like rugby and cricket. But with the passion running so high in F1, maybe people do hate as much as love drivers/teams. For example, I dislike Red Bull for their moaning, and probably from...

olly-44

One person might say I am being top sensitive. Another might say I am being sportsmanlike. Nope, I don't believe anyone will. It's sports. And for the fans in general there are a lot of emotions when it comes to supporting your team, regardless if it is F1 or football. People want their guy to win ...

Hamilton is favourite to win the WDC. It mans sense that someone wanting a Ferrari driver to win would be pleased with Hamilton's misfortune. As long as it's not overly aggressive or celebrating a nasty Hamilton crash, I don't see it as that bad really. Like I said, he didn't celebrate Ferrari - ju...
