Some of the comments on here are quite insidious & strange. So living on a council estate, father starting off as a lowly British Rail admin clerk, having to initially use 2nd hand karting gear, is being born […]

It isn’t hard to imagine how much better the Ferrari drivers could/should have done. Vettel especially was making far too many errors. Also, IIRC, i think Ferrari had the better quali car in 2018 […]

Hamilton for me. The most consistent driver on the grid. That mistake in Brazil wouldn’t have happened if the title was still up for grabs…..he would’ve been a lot more careful.

Anyway, Team Bosses top […]

“it is easy for us, today, to say that Hamilton has been winning because Mercedes’ car was unchallenged for 4 straight years, and that Vettel has crumbled under pressure in crucial stages in the championship, b […]

” He would have been leading the championship after Baku.”

Only if you ignore Hamilton’s bad luck in Australia & Bahrain. Or any of Vettel’s early bad luck.

Swings & round abouts

So you think that Bottas could’ve beaten Vettel to the title, despite having a equally paced but less reliable car than Vettel? You must have an extremely low opinion of Vettel

Rubbish. Seb had a more reliable car than Hamilton, and the SF71H was the quickest car for long periods of the season.

Rosberg got lucky with Hamilton’s car having lots of mechanical problems

Hamilton only had 1 off-pace weekend (China).
(Canada & Bahrain he had technical issues)

Vettel was off-pace in Australia. Outpaced by Kimi nearly the entire weekend (and this is Kimi we are talking about, not […]

@hugh11

Hamilton deserves some credit for initially questioning the call to pit on lap 52. Instead of blindly following the initial call, he questioned what Kimi was doing.

I saw an intereview (can’t […]

What has the Merc domination of 2014-2016 got to do with this?

Domination is relative. The RB9 had a significant advantage & was dominant relative to the rest of the 2013 field.

In fact, there is a […]

@ BEN ROWE
I’ve already made it clear that because of Ferrari pitstop miscalculation, i see Vettel as being unlucky in China. Not faultless, but a little unlucky. Nothing you have said changes my opinion on […]

EDIT: *Germany was NOT won through “luck”

Ferrari also could have had more front row locks out if their drivers made fewer errors, their car was capable- plus Kimi was notorious for being quick but messing up Q3. F1 is too complex to simply look at raw […]

@panagiotism-papatheodorou

in 2013 Vettel had a massive car advantage over the rest of the grid, with a teammate who admitted he was past his prime & wanted to retire. The RB9 is often cited as one of the […]
