If you believe this part, you will be very confident that if hey were to swap cars and run the same races the result would be the same(since the cars are equal, I heard) . Would you bet on that? Look at the races where Hamilton failed to finish top 2: Monaco - Bottas was in second place until the p...

My view has not changed one bit. Overrated in the sense that he is viewed as better than what he really is. I have seen nothing to suggest THIS Verstappen with THIS car is any better than the ROOKIE Hamilton. And so far this season I have seen nothing to suggest that a far more experienced Hamilton...

Bahrain - Red Bull Emilia Romagna - Draw Portugal - Mercedes Spain - Mercedes Monaco - Red Bull Azerbaijan - Red Bull France - Mercedes 3-3 Verstappen looks to have a slither more pace than Hamilton at key times.

I give qualifying to Red Bull and the race for Mercedes, it was going to be a comfortable win for Hamilton but James Vowles threw the race, so:- Red Bull 8 - 6 Mercedes So far Max has been the better driver but not today, that was a clear mistake by Max that should have cost him the race, today Ham...

The only thing I see is people falling over themselves to see it happen. Had HAM made the mistakeVER did at T1 people would say he is old and has lost it. I denied it as recently as 2020. Some changed their minds half way through 2019. If anything I am even more impressed by how HAM is driving this...

Without the T1 mistake from VER it would have been a very boring race. Were you not watching the race at the start of the second stint? Verstappen was being hounded by both Mercedes who chewed their tyres in the process. How can Mercedes be the better car if VER and PER are 1 - 3 whilst HAM and BOT...

- HAM has scored 6( SIX ) pole positions in his 1st year alone as a ROOKIE, driving alongside the reigning 2xWDC Hamilton's battle with Alonso was affected by qualifying fuel loads so it's hard to distill the true qualifying battle from that. The strongest evidence for Hamilton's speed is this from...

I don't have time for A>B then B>C stuff but I am 1000% sure than HAM or LEC or the best VET would have scored more poles than VER driving he same car he has had untill now. It's shocking VER doesn't have more pole positions but yet he is seen by many as the fastest driver. - HAM has scored 6( SIX )...

All I recall is Hamilton's onboard and Leclerc weaving from side to side making it difficult for him to pass, did they not both pass Leclerc down the long straight? In respect to Hamilton's fight unless he's gone soft in his older age he had to fight a lot harder to get were he is now than what Ver...

I only remember one pass when Hamilton got held up behind Leclerc and Verstappen got a run on him and passed him on the straight, was the other a SC restart with Verstappen on new tyres and Hamilton on old tyres? Overtakes in F1 are not made in a vacuum. Verstappen was significantly more aggressive...

It is funny nobody ever mention the competitivity of RB cars because they look at VER's teammates who can not drive his set ups apparently. It is like the repeat of ALO's career. Exactly like Alonso's career. The 'teammate unable to drive his setup' excuse is trotted out whenever people want to dis...

Just quickly watched his view on the Hamilton incident. As you can see, he jokes about Hamilton pushing him off the road on T1 at Austin. This is the dominant feature of the Hamilton vs Rosberg era. Rosberg outlines after, that Hamilton could always find that 'grey' area between getting a penalty a...

If Lewis and Max ever end up constantly going at it I can see it either being some of the best wheel to wheel stuff of all time or just constantly ending in large repair bills. Neither of them will give an inch and both clearly like leaving a wheel in just to hammer home dominance. It'd be firework...

When Verstappen was a child with just a single season of car racing under his belt. Why look at baby Verstappen when we can compare them against more recently against fully developed Hulk? His (family's) choice. F1 is not kindergarten. It is not like Sainz is 40, is he? He was still a F1 rookie or ...

99% of the F1 world is convinced RIC is an upgrade. Disregarding points, but looking only at raw speed and race pace, SAI has been more impressive vs VER than RIC. Qualifying, race and wet. We will understand many things at the end of the 2021 season. And I personally think It will not be what many...

I think the hiring of Sainz will do more to upset the dynamic at the front of the grid than anything since the retirement of Nico Rosberg or the promotion of Max Verstappen to RBR. Initially he will probably be slower than Charles is or Seb was in qualifying. I am guessing that his racecraft could ...

I think I saw the same topic on here in 2012. With the same votes from the same guys. So nothing has really changed.

In equal cars, Max would beat Charles. Red Bull are both stronger than Ferrari at the moment and have more scope for development as they have only just started their journey with Honda. Ferrari are in turmoil and are lacking stability. This makes Red Bull more likely to provide a championship winni...

I also think that Verstappen extremely rarely lacks pace whereas I think Sainz does more often - especially over a single lap. I think Noris often makes him look bad here. It's interesting that this perception seems to have stuck to Sainz. Based on most people's reactions, you'd think Norris was wi...

(2) That's your opinion and I think that Verstappen look a LOT better because of his teammates who can not cope with the car AND the team the way it is, similar to Alonso. I have worked(not played) on simulators and it is simply impossible for 2 competent drivers to be so distant like it happened w...

I think Noris has very often been disappointing on race day which is not the case in qualifying. And yes, I personally think that a lot of this year, the Mclaren has been easily the best of the rest. There have been many races where Sainz has sort of been in the middle of nowhere. Behind the top 3 ...

At the end of the race with all the chaos and including Bottas retiring, Gasly and Sainz both gained the same number of positions. Other than 1 impressive overtake on perez, all of the rest should have just been expected really. Other than perhaps his team mate who I think should have done better. ...

Could Sainz's awesome performance this year also down to the McLaren car? McLaren hasn't brought a big upgrade package but instead has brought small upgrades to every race which is why it kept improving ever so slightly to build such a cushion to the midfield. https://f1i.com/news/358709-mclaren-mi...

Alonso had more points after 10 rounds in the 2018 than Sainz did after 10 rounds this season. That was with a less competitive car. There's no way Alonso wouldn't be scoring more points than Sainz with this Mclaren. If you mean he wouldn't be higher up in the championship.. That i agree with. And ...

As usual F1 fans forumers generally tend to converge to a consensus even tough it is a cr*p one such as in Sainz's case.

I followed all the FP sessions when Sainz and Verstappen were both in ToroRosso and there was nothing between them. Exactly, I think this is the biggest merit Sainz has as of date.

The trouble is if he was at Ferrari, then Verstappen, Vettel or Riccardo would be at Mercedes by now, or Rosberg racking up the World titles without him in the way, and we'll assume Leclerc is his team mate. But I certainly think he COULD win the title in a Ferrari, just as he has done in a McLaren...

Its really odd the both Gasly and Albon are/were better in the Torro Rosso than the Red Bull, how does that make sense? It makes you think that maybe the gap between the top three teams and the rest of the field has a lot to do with the drivers. Ummm... so until now you always just assumed that the...

One thing for sure is that this is a surprising and comprehensive beatdown in qualifying from Leclerc that Vettel is being bombarded by. Leclerc just looks straight up quicker in raw one lap pace and by a large margin. Leclerc is quicker, there is no doubt about that. Vettel seems oddly uncomfortab...
