Johnson

I am just correcting you. You said only by 1999 could he get anywhere near a title challenge. This is false. How or why he challenged is a matter of opinion but the fact is he did.

You just have to change the outcome of a single race per season and he wins the title in 97,98 and 99.

Let’s face it, Hamilton only became super successful when he joined Mercedes. Hardly the same career trajectory as what made Schumacher an all time great. He has been very fortunate to end up with dominant machinery over such a long time. There's almost no difference in terms of career trajectories...

So Verstappen became unstoppable when the team mate that was regularly his equal left the team... what a coincidence. You mean when a teammate, who got tonked 15-6 in qualifying in 2018, ran away from Max before his 21st birthday because he could see the writing on the wall? But no in 2019 and 2020...

Johnson

2018 qualifying analysis depends on what you want to show. You have 15-6, 21 sessions but in 8 sessions one of the drivers did not set a representative time. I would love to see how that 0.2% was calculated considering all the breakdowns in qualifying. Vertsappen was quicker than Ricciardo in 2018,...

Johnson

Oh I agree that overtaking from 2017-2021 was poor, I just don’t see the logic behind including 2015 and 2016 in that category. The cars were significantly smaller and lighter back then. 2015-2016 was peak whoever leads after T1 wins precisely because dirty air had started to make passing much more...

Johnson

There were more overtakes in 2016 than 2022 despite one fewer race btw. I'd argue Hamilton lost more races to Rosberg and Bottas precisely because of the effect of dirty air. Verstappen blasting through the field and past Perez isn't because he's so much better than Hamilton was in a dominant car (...

Johnson

So he was really looking for an even more winning formula? Yes, now that makes total sense of course. The 2022 formula plays to both Hamilton and Verstappen's strengths in a way the 2015-2021 didn't. There were more overtakes in 2016 than 2022 despite one fewer race btw. You only really get overtak...

Johnson

all lapped cars must unlap themselves SC may come in only 1 lap later both of these rules were violated by Masi. there was no more race left legally. and no one can defend against a 5 seconds faster car, stop spinning this nonsense. There is a caveat in the rules that allows Masi to do what he want...

Johnson

Do you think Masi sat on the track ? He decided the outcome single handedly. It was a race where Hamilton led all laps, even pulled a huge gap on Max. Masi turned it into a 1 lap cheat circus with Max having 3-5 seconds faster car. Masi did not sit on the track. And it wasn't Masi's authority to de...

Johnson

OK, let me reword it for you. In the 96 races before AD when lapped cars have been allowed to un lap themselves, in ALL 96 of those races. ALL cars had been allowed to unlap themselves. This is 100% of the time. In race 97, the race director hand picked cars to unlap themselves for which no reason ...

You said you could not choose between the options. The first 2 options are within the rules and without a human era. The third is not and a human error occurred in implementing the rules. So you are now saying, you would have preferred option 1 and 2 that made Hamilton champion? You do not like tha...

Johnson

There is a 100% chance Mercedes thought the race would end under safety car when they decided to stay out. Mercedes hoped the race would end under a SC. It really was 50/50 really. Nobody has any idea how long a SC will last. But the whole world knew, if the race restarted then Max was champion. If...

Johnson

yes your logic. Over the last lap VER was seconds faster than Hamilton yet here you are with your nonsense, that Hamilton's car was faster, because you picked a very short time period where he was because of specific circumstances. They kept out Hamilton because they had track position and lapped c...

It’s pretty clear as he/she keeps saying look at the stewards report for Mercedes appeal to try and confirm AD21 was all correct but when the stewards blame Verstappen for an incident he disregards the stewards verdict because it doesn’t line up with his/her opinion. There's no need for he/she, I'm...

Johnson

By your logic any car can be picked and said its faster than any other car, you just must choose a good time sequence, fex. they arrive at a corner, the car ahead brakes earlier boom ! 2nd one goes faster!!! My logic? Have you forgotten on what basis Hamilton's engineer made his choice to keep his ...

Alright, then explain to us how Hamilton managed to get fully alongside again on the back straight. Simple. Verstappen takes the narrow entry into the chicane which compromises his exit. Hamilton also gets the slipstream along the back straight. Precisely. Because he wasn't driving the supposedly s...

Johnson

Haha, this is why I did not read the report. Is this actually the findings of the report- “The process of identifying lapped cars has up until now been a manual one and human error lead to the fact that not all cars were allowed to un-lap themselves,” That’s actually hilarious and I wouldn’t expect ...

Johnson

Did I say anything about fairness? I don’t think I did? But it is better to look at the facts. What Masi did was not against the regulations, the stewards dismissed the protest of Mercedes and Mercedes chose to drop its appeal. That leads to the conclusion that Masi’s removal as race director was a...

Johnson

Does anybody have the answer to what I asked?

What was given as the official reason for handpicking just the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen and not allowing the others to unlap themselves?

I’ve have heard people say Masi did not break a rule in doing that, but why did he do it?

Johnson

You don't seem to understand what I mean. By turning into a car alongside of you, even if you are supposed to "have that corner", even if it is not your fault, you lose that potential race win anyway. What good is superior insight, if you're not using it? I know the stewards declared Verstappen to ...

Senna allegedly had a puncture at Monaco 88. The left rear in punctured in the aftermath but it never went near the barrier. He also got that 50 second lead because Prost was stuck behind a Ferrari. Yes he would have won comfortably but he did not just drive away in a straight contest How can you t...

Johnson

His post race Eiffel comments don’t look good against AD. Him stating the rules required him to allow all 10/11 lapped cars through. That one was the fact that we had to, there's a requirement in the sporting regulations, to wave all lapped cars past," Masi said. "I think from that point, it was pos...

Johnson

I really hate the culture of measuring top drivers by simply totting up the number of mistakes made and basing a decision seemingly solely on that. Yes, it's a factor but it shouldn't be the only factor. Senna made a mistake in Monaco during a season where he was roasting the guy, who everyone thou...

2023 is not like 2002 for me. Ferrari had a 1-2 in 8 of 12 two car finishes. Ten double podiums from twelve two car finishes. Rubens would have won nearly every race he finished without MS there. No comparison to Perez this year. 2023 is more like 2013 and 2011. It is highly unusual for a dominant ...

Johnson

The 'human error' element from AD21 may well be with respect to acepted practice, or the intent of the rules as written. However, the wording of the rules were of sufficient ambiguity that the events that did take place could be explained within these rules. My take on this is that's where a legal ...

Montoya took a bunch of poles in 2002 too. Even Ferrari this year have a few poles, no? 6 poles in the last 10 races. The benefit of hindsight? Red Bull won 7 of the first 9 races that season.

The benefit of hindsight? Red Bull won 7 of the first 9 races that season.

Sure, but that doesn't mea...
