F1 has never been about fair racing. It has always been about who can break the rules the maximum without getting caught. F1 has always been about fair racing, albeit, I agree it is about who can stretch the rules the furthest and exploit loopholes. What is disappointing is that time and time again...

You know what would be fair for all you guys moaning about Merc getting undue advantage because of their test, just like Merc were blind to the tires being tested and no telemetry data being provided to them, no teams in the YDT should get any data and know which tires are being tested except for P...

Yes as someone above said, why do Vettel fans (or as these people start these threads by saying they are not and they just respect the guy---yeah right ;) ) want everyone to love Vettel? Do you in your own life like everyone you come across or hear about? Why is this desperate need by Vettel fans to...

You know what would be fair for all you guys moaning about Merc getting undue advantage because of their test, just like Merc were blind to the tires being tested and no telemetry data being provided to them, no teams in the YDT should get any data and know which tires are being tested except for Pi...

I voted FIA, because simply they have come out of this looking like bumbling idiots. I mean they have a guy at the track for every race Charlie Whiting, who is supposed to be the Director of Technical and Sporting regulations, who is conferred by every team for everything and then the FIA come out a...

I have often read the reason why Senna was so much faster than Prost was because Senna was more sensitive to both engine and chassis and could extract more... erm... :P Erm, unfortunately that wasn't the only time the team McLaren were accused of favouritism. There was DC, there was Montoya, Alonso...

As soon as some others do... i will. (Edit)If someone claims something, it has to get verified :) As i said earlier, i was merely replying, not posting out of my own volition. Erm, not to start a fresh one, but didn't he ask Lotus to not sign Derek Warwick, as Senna said "Lotus couldn't provide two...

Also wanted to mention something interesting which happened when I was driving down to office today. I heard some one on the radio saying that if Michael Jordan was playing basketball today, he would have been vilified and destroyed by the social media/internet/news media etc., simply because of the...

Whilst I may not agree 100%, your point about Mika actually made sense and was relevant to the debate. I cannot fault you on that, that was a decent way to debate. Mika himself admits that Senna tooled him in their short partnership, and whilst Mika was clearly not at his peak he was still a decent...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned but should not be overlooked is that his raw speed was hugely impressive. If somebody asked me who the fastest man ever to sit in an F1 car was I would say Senna. This is very true. What I find amazing is this influx of fans who never watched Senna race but want...

Hi all, this is my first thread (I did post a few times before on this forum). I wanted to know what kind of opinion people would have of Ayrton Senna, if he was alive today. I have seen a lot of people say stuff like "even though he was a great driver, he is considered the greatest only because he ...

Because he is not as quick as Maldonado. Simples. I am done with the thread, but carry on as you chose. No one invited you to the thread for your amazing observations. So you being done with the thread doesn't really bother people who genuinely want to know what the technical issue behind Bruno's q...

There are hundreds of drivers in lower formulae who are 'good drivers', won a few career wins and podiums etc, yet they are not in F1. Why not? Because you need to be more than a 'good driver' to do well in F1. Bruno was never exceptional in lower formulae, his resume is nothing special. He did not...

The only thing puzzling to me is the majority consensus on this forum that Senna is somehow a 'better bet' than Maldonado. It is as simply as this: Maldonado has more pace and is better than Bruno. Besides, 'race pace' is dependent on many factors, a better indicator on who is the better driver is ...

My realisation after today is... I'll keep defending Bruno every step of the way. His performance was not good today, I would even say stupid..but he has to go?? Come on guys. Last year he qualified better with that Renault and this year he cannot qualify and he is slow? I'll keep on defending him ...

A few about the forum F1, rather than the drivers themselves: 1: After the pages of comments gets past 3 I skip to the end. I dont expect anyone to read this :P 2: I get so excited if someone quotes me to agree with my opinion 3: after the forum redesign my love/hate relationship became too much an...

- Senna is only as revered as he is because he died before his time, like Elvis and Kurt Cobain. - Maybe Schumacher couldn't have won 7 titles without team mates supporting him, but he got himself into that position, it wasn't gifted to him by luck. - Senna was revered even before his death. Not to...

I would like to comment on what a lot of people keep saying here about Ayrton Senna. He was a c**t and that he was a jerk to take Prost out by using his car as a weapon. However every world champion out there are arrogant and come off as c**ts. But what I believe is that they have such a high level ...

I have been reading a lot of debates on who should have the Williams seat. People seem to favor Pastor and Bottas and keep saying that Bruno is average or crap and is only riding his uncle's legacy. Lets see so it took Bruno 2 seasons in GP2 (which, if I am not mistaken, was his 5th overall year in ...
