Well on this board I have been a Webber Fanboi, an Alonso Fanboi, a Lewis Fanboi and a Button Fanboi.

hopefully he runs out of money soon :nod: Hopefully not before McLaren run out of fuel :P What's 1.3lt in rupees? Fuel in India is generally more expensive compared to the rest of the world - 1 litre of petrol costs about Rs. 71 (INR) currently. That's 82 pence, I would KILL for 82 pence per litre ...

He could win but I don't think he will. Out of interest, anyone remember what Williams starts have been like this year?

mikeyg123

I can't believe Mclaren have done this. It's like they keep thinking of ways to hurt themselves. This isn't anyone elses fault, people are deluding themselves if they think that this is some form of witch hunt. Gutted for Hamilton; two races in a row that he's been screwed over by silly mistakes. I...

[quote="mabazza" ]It would not surprise me that a significant factor in the low fuel was the incredible lap put in , consuming more than expected. If the car is under weight then that would be definitely back of the grid but I doubt this is more than low fuel. I would have thought this sort of issue...

Respect? what about last race when he was slipstreaming someone into the pits then suddenly darted back out onto the racing line in front of other cars? what about it? Fernando tried to slip steam another car. It pulled into the pits. He moved back to the racing line. Obviously the worse man since ...

My 20 -16 is 20 - Surtees 19 - Andretti 18 - G.Hill 17 - Fittipaldi 16 - Hakkinen I've got Brabham and Piquet higher and Rindt lower. All subjective of course. Why do you position Hakkinen 16th and Fittipaldi 17th? The same goes for G. Hill and Andretti - why? Could they be the other way around? I ...

http://www.audi-tt.ru/forum/phpBB2/images/smiles/facepalm.gif Do you think Hamilton and Massa would both be alive if they were at last season's antics back in the 70s? Highly unlikely. And if they did survive they would be down a few limbs. So what accident are you thinking would have caused there ...

Additional info: And won it with a known inferior/underpowered car compared to the competition. Since then, no other driver has done this. . That's Just not true since 1986 you could make a case for: Senna in 91, Schumacher in 95, Hakkinen in 99, Schumacher in 03, Alonso in 05, Raikkonen in 07, Ham...

Four of the 20 drivers on the list are racing in 2012. As far as I am concerned, this one line has already challenged the credibility of their list. It appears that they are going to place 4 current drivers in the Top 15... baloney. 1/4 of the best drivers in F1 history are currently driving??? I w...

And i think Schumacher may just squeeze in

mikeyg123

I think he is right. Seems daft to have the young drivers test mid season when all teams are focusing on improvements for the car rather than evaluating drivers.

mikeyg123

I'm interested to see if they include current drivers in there. Alonso would definitely make my Top 20 list, Vettel and Hamilton may do so. I'm interested to know more about Jack Brabham, since opinion seems to be split on him. He was consistently beaten by Dan Gurney and also lost to Denny Hulme a...

Let us not forget that he got into those "top cars" by his performance in lesser cars. He had some impressive drives before he became a Ferrari test driver and eventually team driver. Thats not really true. He has been on the Ferrari pay role pretty much his entire grand prix career. They put him i...

All champions are proven. You don't win a championship through luck alone and you can't win the championship with no luck!

Can we extend to the question to "Worst driver to win?" Think that's pretty difficult. Maybe Boutsen? Worst driver to win a race? Heikki must come close really. I mean apart from Hungary he never came close to winning in his two years at McLaren. Ok half of one year was in a terrible car but he rea...

Overrated? No chance. Watkins Glen '79 and Jarama '81 have been mentioned, but what about Monaco 1981? He not only won from the front row in a ####box of a car, he lapped his team-mate (Didier Pironi, who was not exactly a slouch). At France in 1979, he not only took the fight to the far superior t...

Best car not to win a race; 1991 Jordan 191 - Only the team's eleventh race, a fairly average driver and yet de Cesaris was only 4 laps away from winning the Belgian GP. Plus Gachot posted the fastest lap the previous race and the car nearly scored points on it's debut, despite having to pre-qualif...

If these teams sorted their costs out they wouldn't need to quit when things didn't go their way. As Bernie said a few years ago, if the teams hold a gun to their head they'd better be able to pull the trigger. Like the strikes in the 80s. Going home and crying to their mothers isn't going to achie...

Eddie Jordan deciding to take Stefan Johanson instead of Schumacher all those years ago. Shumi would probably have ended up probably driving for Sauber in 93 and who knows what would happen from then on? It would definitely change F1 for ever though.

<Back and forth> I don't like this new quote limit, why not automatically add spoilers to the second quote...

Surely the 2009 Renault is up there. That was an awful car.. 2009 was a weird year though. One race the Toyotas were locking out the frnt row and a couple down the line they were locking out the back row. The McLaren was terrible then won a couple of races and even Heikki got it on the front row in...

Sauber for me. When you figure the budget that Horner and Brawn have, and especially versus Domenicalli, I think that Sauber does a better job, they're doing the best job of all the teams with the medium budgets.
