My honest congratulations to Mas and Sandman for being right! Still, the vast majority did not expect Ricciardo to stand any chance against Vettel. That was what I was referring to. Yeah I ran a poll and it was a landslide in favour of Vettel if not even a whitewash? Nah wasn't a whitewash I think ...

Please explain this. You'll never get a satisfactory answer from Need4Naiim. The man seems to live in a different reality to everybody else. It's pretty obvious he's backing McLaren-Honda to become the best car at Hungary/Belgium this year and Mercedes will shrink into obscurity until Fernando reti...

pubpokerplayer

The other two not much to add, other than that Massa again had a good race in Monaco, irrespective of Alonso's own. And he beat Alonso fair and square in Turkey, too, while we know that he was leading in Germany and there's no reason to suspect that Alonso would have been able to take him without t...

I expect Fernando to reach 53 wins, Jenson to reach 29, Hamilton to reach 40. I do not have a guess about Vettel&Raikkonen as of now. Please explain this. What makes you think Hamilton will win another 4 races. Alonso will win another 21 and Jenson another 14. To put that in to context you expect J...

Barrichelo would out perform Schumacher over a race. He certainly couldn't over a season though.

There is absolutely no evidence to support your claim Massa could beat Alonso over a season.

pubpokerplayer

It happened on more than one occassion in a season it certainly didn't happen over a season. Not even close. But I suppose the car just didn't suit Massa.

pubpokerplayer

I would agree with you BlackFlag if 2014 was the anomaly but it isn't. In all these comparisons the anomaly is 2007 because we have 6 yrs data of Massa/Kimi and Massa/Alonso. What we got in 2014 was to be expected.

The good thing for them is that Merc/Ferrari are generally occupying the top 4 spots they have had a really poor start of the season yes. But currently they only find themselves 23 points off of 4th place no one is making great inroads on that 4th place spot and they are still very much realisticall...

pubpokerplayer

I do also agree with you that the TP will say what he wants the public to hear. However in this occasion I think he would have preferred the public to think it was Lewis fault not another error unreliable car provided to him by McLaren. Possibly but the flip side of it would be if McLaren were tryi...

It's not a big deal but if someone says they are 99.8% sure of something you're going to question it when the evidence from the team principal says it's more than likely a greater than .2% of a chance they are wrong. I have no opinion on this specific matter but a team principal will tell the media...

I think in this incidence it would be foolish not to accept it. From the teams PoV it would have looked better if the part failed because of Hamiltons driving than it failed for no reason and they aren't sure why. He says in the interview that there is no possible way it was linked to the brush agai...

pubpokerplayer

It isn't speculation though Zoue when if you read he interview linked it's just flat out calling Whitmarsh a liar.

You think Badoers pace was representative of the Ferraris real pace? What you've done here in one is made it clear why people think the Ferrari of 07/08 was better than the McLaren. A driver of Badoers ability couldn't put the car where Kimi could. But last season and the 3 seasons before that a dri...

Surprised you don't remember Rosbergs Austin lap last year. Was lap of the season for me everything absolutely perfect.

pubpokerplayer

That's a difficult one. You'd think Schumacher is out of reach but then when you break it down. Hamilton could easily on present form be on 52 come the end of this season. Leaving him 4/5 yrs in a (I'm assuming) lesser car to rack up 16 polls.

pubpokerplayer

Do you really think is Alonso was available to a team like Williams they would prefer to have Massa?

Massa is a good driver. Kimi is a good driver. Alonso is a fantastic driver.

If Alonso wanted to be at Ferrari this year he would be.

pubpokerplayer

Singapore was Hamiltons fault?

Nah that was definitely not Hamiltons fault and it was that weekend that eventually lead to Hamilton leaving McLaren.

pubpokerplayer

True... But with those big blank sides they've got to be getting pretty desperate Why not give the sides to Save the Children, Unicef or even the RNLI It may increase / improve their profile and may attract someone who would Pay, and would attract the TV Cameras Whatever, it is wasted space I have ...

pubpokerplayer

Okay. In yesterday's situation you could see Seb was holding up Kimi but in doing so Seb was helping his chances of beating Kimi so let them fight. Only with hindsight could you see it cost Kimi a potential win. In hypothetical situation Kimi would be flying on fresh tyres. It would be a matter of ...

pubpokerplayer

I don't see what you could have done wrong myself. Just double checked it myself and you are correct

pubpokerplayer

Would Hamilton have destroyed Coulthard like Hakkinen did? Without a doubt imo. I find Hakkinen to be the most over rated multi WDC ever.

I actually think he would have put Coulthard a lot more in the shade.

There is an element of luck to being in the right car at the right time though. Especially for Vettel who didn't take any risk to get to that car was just promoted through the YDP he was in.

pubpokerplayer

Just because I pointed out that Kimi would have won if he wasn't held up doesn't mean I think Seb should have moved over and let him pass.

Last year at Hungary Rosberg would have won the race had Hamilton let him pass. I still think Hamilton was right not to do so.

pubpokerplayer

And whilst interesting I think stats can be very misleading too. I believe Hamilton won 11 last season and 3 so far this season. That's 14 wins meaning prior to 2014 he had won 22 races. It's very feasible he could win another 8 races this season. Meaning he has won 22 races in 2 seasons as much as ...

pubpokerplayer

Zoue. The OP said he created this statistical analysis to compare Hamilton to others which is why he chose 152 as oppose to 143 for Seb. Secondly I don't believe any driver brings that much to the team. 2014 could have been a complete dud of the car or it could have been the world beater it was neth...

pubpokerplayer

But you quoted my post when I at no point said they should have moved Seb over just that Seb failing to be quicker in the opening phase cost Kimi. Later on in the race should Kimi have come out 19 seconds behind Rosberg and 10 seconds behind Vettel would Ferrari have asked Vettel to move aside as se...

pubpokerplayer

2012 was the most surely.

pubpokerplayer

Wow you can't admit you made a mistake and failed to realise we were talking about a hypothetical situation considering you responded with 'it was the early stages of the race' and that simply wasn't what we were talking about.

pubpokerplayer

Actually they are two separate instances. The full post is a response to Zoues post that is quoted where we are quite clearly talking about if Seb hadn't messed up his race. For responding quoting and castigating me when you had simply misunderstood the point. You mention it was in the early stages ...

pubpokerplayer

It's not really tenuous.

Either way the fact remains Lewis is the last driver to win the WDC when not in the WCC winning car.

pubpokerplayer

Surely Ferrari seeing Kimi had the pace to catch Nico would have asked Seb to move aside? It was in the early stages of the race in order to make such a definite and accurate evaluations of the events (it always looks so easy once all is seen). Kimi said over radio that he felt he was quicker and t...

pubpokerplayer

So Lewis up to 36 now. Anyone changing their mind from before?

pubpokerplayer

22 point gap in the title race. Got our work cut for us! Hopefully we can bring the required upgrades to the start of the European season!

pubpokerplayer

I think Ferrari need to look at their strategy for Kimi, though. His second stint was way too long and cost him too much His second stint was long because in order to make up some time he had to be on the softs so they wanted to give him as short a stint as possible on the soft tire, which is only ...

Up in to 15th

Hope I don't live to regret the points penalty in Australia!

Wow Poker. That was quick!
