If he has the fastest car and the measure of Perez, then yes, of course he can.

But those are the two great questions aren't they?

Centauri

Easily. Why need he win one more championship? Where's the rule which states that a driver must be a triple world champion to be an F1 legend? The 2012 season has cemented this status in my opinion. Hopefully before he retires he'll have the machinery for at least one more title. The way I see it - ...

Centauri

Anyone who would claim that the Ferrari is anywhere near the RB or McLaren in either qualifying or race trim is completely deluded. Were any of these people watching in Austin last weekend, where the Ferrari was about 1.5 seconds behind Vettel in qualifying and Alonso finished 39 seconds back? You d...

Centauri

I liked him from the start to be honest, but it's in this season that he has risen to become my favourite driver alongside Webber. He has truly cemented his place among the greats this year, and his cool and mature attitude throughout the season has been noted by many. It has translated on to the tr...

I think Rubens would have about 60 - 65 points. He was good at Williams in 2010 but didn't have as quick a car in 2011. He was better than Pastor in 2011, although not as quick on occasion, but infinitely more consistent. He was always a solid if unspectacular qualifier. I see no reason why he could...

Centauri

Rosberg can't really get a break, can he? First the team sign up the most successful Grand Prix driver of all time to partner him, then they sign one of the best on the grid to replace him. I'd like to see Nico do well, though I'm not holding my breath. Betting odds before pre-season testing for Ha...

Austin

Alonso comes second and Vettel DNF.

Interlagos

Vettel wins, but Alonso shoves Webber aside on the final lap to take second again, and thus, the championship by one point.

Centauri

A Schumacher in his prime perhaps, if certain other factors fell into his favour as well.

Centauri

Grosjean has a better benchmark in Kimi than Maldonado does in Senna, and it's arguably the case that he is generally faster than Kimi over a lap when things come together. If he can sort his first-lap troubles out, I'd imagine he'd be the better driver as he seems to do well when he lasts the race ...

Centauri

Rather like the other thread regarding Alonso's comments on Massa, people have jumped on Fernando for absolutely no reason. If you listened to the interview where he made those comments, there was absolutely no malice or anger in his voice and he very much shrugged-the incident off, saying 'that's r...

Centauri

Favourite drivers ; Mark Webber is horribly inconsistent, is not as quick as Sebastian on the majority of days and cannot stay with his rivals over the course of a season, whatever the reasons may be. This is why he will never be a world champion. Fernando Alonso... erm... (struggling here) came ac...

Centauri

Doesn't the team have to be able to prove that there is a genuine problem with the car when it retires? Well, they can just do a pitstop and all the cars would have pass him Or, as team orders are not illegal, have the driver literally slow down off-line and let all the cars pass him. Then he can a...

Centauri

What about Heikki? Numerous places, including the BBC, are reporting him and Jaime to be front-runners for the seat.

Centauri

I voted yes, because I don't see any reason it was a bad idea. He wanted to do it, it made things more interesting, he can't tarnish his legacy because he's completely covered by the "He's old and had been out of F1 for a long time" line. You can't take away his achievements. So why the hell not? He...

Centauri

I don't know whether it'll be a good move for Hamilton or not, but it's very refreshing when something big like this occurs - it's great to have the grid shaken up every so often. Bit of a shame to lose Schumacher as I've found myself rooting for him a little since his comeback, but he had to retire...

Centauri

I don't see that there's any argument. Kubica was immensely talented and would have outclassed Maldonado, were they ever teammates.

I honestly wonder whether certain other posters even watch the same sport as me sometimes.

Centauri

Alonso has driven well enough to win multiple more world championships, and if he loses the lead before the end, it will be a shame. Sadly, with Red Bull-suited tracks like Suzuka coming up, Ferrari had better step up their efforts as currently I can see Seb overhauling him. Hamilton, although a ver...

Centauri

Jacques was a good driver in the first few years of his career and deserved his title, there's no doubt about it.

However....

The difference between he and Gilles, is that Jacques is a complete and utter MORON in virtually all other aspects!

Centauri

Interesting stats, although not sure what it's here to prove.

I thought most sane people already accepted that Alonso is a superior driver to Kimi anyway. Just confirming what we already know.

Centauri

I don't know what you call it, but I call it falling away in the latter part of a season. Given Webber's performance generally remains consistent across the course of the season (as shown by the finishing positions) I would consider it more that others improve their performance on the run-in while ...

Centauri

As I said earlier in this thread, Mark has tended to fall away in the latter half of a season. It appears your pet theory but it isn't actually accurate: First half of 2009 average finishing position: 5th Second half of 2009 average finishing position: 5th First half of 2010 average finishing posit...

Centauri

Some people make me almost ashamed to call myself a fan of Mark. Any real fan would have known that ever since his first F1 race (and before), he is a driver that can be the fastest of everyone if he has his day, but that can also be very lacklustre. As a fan, you take the good with the bad, you do...

Centauri

I think Alonso would be in with a shout of leading the championship in a McLaren, Red Bull, or Lotus.

Williams would be a bit too far in my opinion, because their pace seems to come and go - a lot more than the Ferrari's does.

Centauri

Button is a very average driver and has been absolutely shamed by Hamilton this year. He has no say on who is great or not. I personally rate him below Massa. If Button, a former World Champion, has no say in who is great or not, then why on Earth are you talking? What have you done in F1 to have a...

Centauri

2003, his first year at Renault. He took the fight to the front runners in the majority of races, and then went and won in Hungary. I have respected him ever since, and don't judge he or Hamilton either positively or negatively regarding 2007, as I think there will always be much we don't know. Only...

Some people in this thread really have shown their immaturity through their anti-American sentiments, and their strong views on American sports which they clearly know nothing about. It's quite laughable. I've never watched IndyCar or NASCAR, primarily because, being in the UK I've no idea when or w...

Centauri

Would be good if someone had statistics showing whether or not those who start from 11th or 12th position tend, on average, to beat those who start 9th or 10th as a result of the rule.

Centauri

To be honest, this thread is pointless and so are all of the arguments stemming from it. Literally, what is the point of discussing whether he was alive for a few seconds after the impact? What difference does it make if he was or wasn't? If it's just curiosity, then it's rather morbid, but to each ...

Centauri

Liked the visuals, but overall thought it was rather corny and cringeworthy and, were I not in the performing arts field, I'd have found it embarrassing having to watch that back if I'd been in it.

Still, Lewis Hamilton's slipped beard made me let out an audible chuckle.

Centauri

Thread title should be: "Another boring thread from the usual suspects"

Centauri

Alonso is truly brilliant, and having watched since the mid-nineties, I would happily consider him the best driver I've watched in that time. Literally - superior to all others. He's had certain years better than others, but overall the man has been ridiculously good. I'm a Webber fan first and fore...

Centauri

Would have left them much too far back with only ten laps to go, and the tyres hadn't gone off that much for it to be enough of an advantage.

Centauri

Grosjean, Rosberg, and now Webber.

Could be a slightly topsy-turvy grid today.

Centauri

Re: Lewis Hamilton and Timo Glock. A championship is won over an entire season and not just on the last corner of the last race. If the Brazilian GP had been earlier in the year and Hamilton won the WDC at another race, this debate wouldn't even be taking place. All champions are deserving. Some dri...

Centauri

I don't see why it makes any sense at all to replace Kobayashi with Kovalainen, who was poor at McLaren. At least Kobayashi we KNOW can beat Perez and produce an exciting performance, whereas exciting is not a word I'd use to describe Heikki as a racer, and there's no reason to believe he'd do a bet...

Centauri

Erm what... Webber has been faster than all his team mates other than Vettel. I'm not talking about championship standings. He was clearly faster than every team mate until Vettel but poor reliability didn't always reflect that at the end of the year. I, one the other hand am referring to the point...

Centauri

I'm not really afraid of this particular thread. What scares me is the Vettelian People's Front waiting for Vettel to win the next race and pass Webber in the standings so they can lash out and vent against the People's Front of Webber for this thread and similar ones on whose idol is better. Ah we...

Centauri

Throughout his career, he's consistently been beaten by his teammate (HHF, DC and now SV). Do you actually watch F1? Or have you just watched the last couple of races? Webber has outperformed EVERY teammate up until Vettel. You are deliberately selecting facts while omitting far more important ones...
