Re: The Tripod of F1
The greatest battle ever in F1, at Dijon 1979 was open wheel and close racing. Yet it was much slower than cars these days. And we still call it the greatest battle ever.

Re: Should Bottas contract be extended?
Rosberg didn't win in 2016 - far from it. He was outdriven by Lewis for the entire year, but very bad mechanical luck cost Lewis that championship. There were several things which made Rosberg get the WDC Title. 1. He conquered Hamilton strongholds, such as Spa, Monza and Suzuka. 2. He had a great ...

Oh but if we're including former drivers then I have only one entry 3 times: Michael Schumacher The bane of my childhood. I supported every driver that ever went up against him. And my anti-Schumacher thing was justified after all the dodgy things he did. He was an occasional cheat, Ferrari were ch...

Re: Should Bottas contract be extended?
I just can not imagine Ocon getting the same number of pole positions like Hamilton and beating him occasionally, like Bottas did 4/12 this year. He would be labeled super-talented.

While the car is very important, one more parameter comes into play: how much is a specific car in accordance with the liking of the driver.

If Ocon will lack those 0,2 or 0,3 seconds to Hamilton it would be bearable. But if the difference is 0,5 or 0,6 seconds per lap, we will have a new Gasly on the road, crisis in Mercedes and big pressure on them. I think Mercedes should not gamble, but then, I do not own the marque and it's up to th...

Re: It's not the car, it's Lewis!
You are going too far in the past. And in the past, Bottas was ordered to move for Hamilton, which might have affected his standings. Does it make a difference? Not big, but it's not black and white. Also, we know not is the support to both driver the same. There are a few unknown parameters which c...

Yes, Vettel has finished - second from the last position.
The circulating story is that the car is not after his liking. Just like in RBR 2014.
