You conveniently touch on the few points you feel support your argument and make no attempt to understand the complete series of events, and as such, your argument is rather weak. When vettel pitted he did so from third and was almost 4 seconds behind. He however, drove lights out to overcome the d...

Yup. Kinda funny isn't it.

Thank you, Huw.

What number 1 would that be?

Blake

Because it was Ferrari in Monza there is no doubt in my eyes it had SOME factor in the stewards' decision. I don't think that is right, it should be binary and 100% objective, but we know the reality of the situation. Do we really know the reality? No, we don't. We know that some suspect that Ferra...

A question about Leclerc to anyone & everyone! Aren't we seeing a more feisty Leclerc now? I've noticed this change in him after the Austria incident with Verstappen. He had then vowed to change his driving approach in races & not be timid. I'd agree with that. He learned what F1 is really about......

Blake

About what I expected from you, sandman.

Blake

As YOU see it, sandman... Not fact, merely your opinion. And that is all.

Blake

Disgraceful effort from the stewards - this black and white flag business is just utter BS. Leclerc pushed Hamilton off the circuit and failed to leave a cars width. You break the rules and get a slap on the wrist and it lets you win the race. How is that a punishment for breaking the rules? When C...

So we are still crying over a qualifying incident? Sheesh. Yes let's brush that under the carpet, it's kind of interesting how it might also relate to what happened in the race. Brush it under the carpet? Poker,you have been making a mountain out of a mole hill for hours on end. Now you cry about i...

So we are still crying over a qualifying incident? Sheesh.

Watch the start of the 2007 Monza GP to see how Ferrari are treated in Monza. Kimi started 1.5metres ahead of his grid slot. Not even an investigation. Vettels was marginal (maybe) but so was Albon who got penalised. Bottas also got away with a slam dunk penalty. Poor day from the stewards overall....

The stewards apparently don't have the great vision skills that some of our notable forumites apparently.

Blake

So because of complaints of engine penalties it's being put forward that these will be only taken after the end of the race were both drivers and teams will take both WDC and WCC points penalties, I just have to shake my head at the proposals being put forward by Ross Brawn and I've no confidence i...

Blake

Personally, I am against it, Just as I was with F1. Originally, I was against the NASCAR playoff system as well, but now after a few years of it, I find it palatable.

Blake

No this system is not perfect, but unless you just want to say there's no way to tell and all is opinion then I don't see any alternative. The bit in bold is what I think everyone needs to realise. Every system I have seen has been flawed and open to bias. I'm fine with the fact that it is impossib...

Blake

let me preface my comments with a reminder that I am already on record saying that Seb is not one of the all-time greats. However, I find it interesting that some are using this year as "proof" that he shouldn't make their list. Leclerc, for all of his promise, can hardly be considered greater than ...

Blake

Who'd have thought that someone thinking Lewis isn't the bestest would result in some resistance on this forum. It's a Hamilton thread, am I missing something? Yes, poker, you are missing something. The title of the thread does not rule out someone resisting the claim of others that Lewis is an all...

Blake

Losing to Leclerc would make it almost impossible to place him in the top 10, he has the titles but if he's seen to be behind many of his contemporary drivers like Hamilton, Alonso, Verstappen, Ricciardo and now Leclerc I can't see how he makes the top 10 list? If losing a race, or even a few races...

That's an opinion. This thread is about how you prove it..

no, it isn't. mcdo is entitled to his opinion especially as there is no way to "prove" who the best ever driver in F1, no matter who one selects.

What exactly did Lando Norris do other than not getting swept up in a first corner crash or having his car break earlier like so many better drivers who weren't running in front of him until he retired like so many others? What a joke. Lando was running in 5th up until the last lap. Excellent race ...

Then Jack Brabham is the greatest ever. He is the last one who can be credited with developing his car and his team. Schumacher did neither of this. I have a maximum of respect for Jack Brabham, but you and I aren't discussing the same sport in the same world. There are some who think that nobody h...

At the very least, one of the best cars and certainly a competitive car. I know of no WDC who won in an uncompetitive car. It's impossible by definition. If a car achieves good results it is competitive and it's impossible to win a WDC without achieving good results. I do think WDC's have been won ...

Todd, do yourself a favor and do some research. And address the question. Being a multiple WDC does not necessarily mean you are the better driver. It means that you were at the very least a very good driver in a very good car in a very good team. The question was how good was Stirling Moss? Not who...

Blake

Blake, I agree with you, but you've only listed 1/4 of the field. What about the rest of the field? Remember, back the grid was made up of 30-40 cars, depending on how many privateers could make the race, and it was the general norm. So against the top drivers he didn't fair too well. He did respec...

Blake

Fair enough assessment, alien. For those using that criteria, it is quite easy to rate F1 greats and in doing so minimizes driving skills as a key factor. their is no question that Schumi is #1 as WDCs is the only factor that counts as the greater number of races and points available dismisses nearl...

The quality of driver skill (depth of talent) in the field was really poor in the old days. As noted above, “Gentleman Racers” really had no business on the track, and the standout drivers with actual talent usually stood head and shoulders above the rest…. Winning most of the races and skewing the...

Blake

There have been too many drivers who have actually accomplished something in F1 for Moss to belong in a conversation about the top ten F1 drivers. There are too many forumites who did not get see Stirling Moss drive. The implication that Stirling Moss did not accomplish "something" in F1 reeks of i...

Agreed, Mercenary

Blake

I think the 2017/2018 Ferrari and Mercedes were close enough in performance that the highest performing driver across those cars would win the championship. I think Hamilton would have won the championship in the Ferrari in both those seasons unless there was a better driver in the Mercedes. I have...
