Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
Against my better judgement I'm going to re enter this discussion as a few people have brought up a Vettel comparison... You could see Vettel was going to be "found out" from a mile off. He was barely better than Webber in 2009, 2010 and the first half of 2012 and there is zero evidence to suggest ...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
Ironically, just above that one, you posted how Verstappen moans in the exactly same way if it doesn't go well for him. (False claim about RB being a midfield car already rejected by others.) The difference is that whilst moaning Verstappen drove the hell out of his car, won races in it and was so ...

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
How can a draggy car with mild understeer (2019) and a slippery car with a pointy front end (2023) both be simultaneously build around Verstappen? Unless you think that Verstappen can drive anything quickly, which you seemingly do. You sure about that, why would Gasly struggle with such a car? You ...

No. I'm saying that Mercedes have tried to do things that will suit Hamilton. Yes and failed. Sure and also not relevant.

Re: Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy?
There is almost no similarities between the 2019 Red Bull and 2023 Red Bull, these are two totally different cars build under different regulations, with very different strengths and weaknesses.

Everyone who wants Max to “test” himself will get it soon enough, as the rumours are that he is joining Mercedes.

Re: Female Racing Drivers
Day 2 of the FRECA test at Hockenheim saw Doriane Pin (1m36.415, 28th), Marta Garcia (1m36.805, 30th) and Lena Buhler (1m37.488, 32nd). The time gap was just 1s from 3rd fastest Roman Bilinski to 28th Pin, the first two were so much quicker I'd suspect a timing issue. By chance were the 2 fastest d...

No amount of gaslighting from Verstappen detractors will convince anyone with a bit of intellectual honesty that a guy who matched Nico Hulkenberg over 3 years is a bad/slow driver and noticeably worse than Bottas. At Mercedes Bottas never had a car that he struggled to drive. And how do you know t...

Long story short: 2021 was Bottas' worst against Lewis, he was unmotivated and sacked, obvious why you picked it for comparison. Dont know how Max beat Bottas in 2020, when...

In my opinion Verstappen is currently obviously the best driver. I have little doubt. Fair enough if you disagree though. It's always impossible to know 100%.
