Re: The 100 Greatest of All Time (Update)
As much as I disagree with you KV, god damn it man I admire your commitment to your cause. You know, my favourite driver growing up was actually Michael Schumacher.

Re: The 100 Greatest of All Time (Update)
You can't measure how much Verstappen improved from 2016-2020 but we see there wasn't that much improvement from 2017 to 2018. There was improvement from 2017 to 2018. By 2018, 20 year old Verstappen had the same pace gap over prime Ricciardo as prime Hamilton had over prime Bottas. 15-6 in quali a...

The allegation is horrendous if proven right: 1758500680724054406 If true - IF - then it seems to be a slam dunk against Horner. Only thing that can save him is a big settlement and RBR desperately wanting to keep him but in my eyes that would be regressive and wrong. Clearly none of us really know...

Quote from Eccleston on the matter, for what it's worth. Can it have negative value? I'm slightly less likely to believe that statement than I would have been if Ecclestone had never spoken. Well I kind of had a similar thought but it does tie in neatly with one of the hypotheses floating around.

Who has Verstappen beat? The reason why Verstappen’s record against his teammates is rated so highly is not because of who he beats, but because of how relentlessly he beats them. And of course, when Hamilton has Gasly level drivers as his teammates (such as Bottas), he still does not beat them wit...

Ok so that does clarify it a little.

Both are perfectly...
