In 2003 Alonso won the Hungarian Grand Prix and Schumacher won the title. 2004 was the last year someone won the Hungarian GP and the title (again Schumacher.)

I agree. 72 entries. 24 times he retired. 33 podiums from 48 classified finishes, 25 victories. For me he is the greatest.

In ’95 Coulthard had a run of consecutive poles, I can’t remember exactly how many off the top of my head but he and Hill were dominant in qualifying. Coulthard’s inexperience plus Hill’s lacklustre […]

Max’s English is very good. Not quite on the par of Rosberg, Vettel or the Hulk but certainly not mediocre.

I remember reading this quite excellent article a while ago by Emerson Fittipaldi about oval racing and the challenges it presents. Alonso is one of the greatest, of that there is no doubt. But the cards are […]

Damon Hill wasn’t a champion prior to ’96. So what he said still stands.

Alonso to Merc and Jenson back to Mclaren? Wishful thinking but we need someone who can give Lewis a run for his money in that second Mercedes. Here’s hoping RBR and Ferrari get their act together with the reg […]

Villeneuve’s own father died in a racing car. I think he’s more than aware of the difficulties that come with discussing death in motorsport. Verstappen is behaving like a complete child. Worse than that, he […]

No, Hamilton is the only one. Michael Schumacher did it in his first career from 1992-2006 if you only count full seasons (discounting his partial debut year in ’91.) Although that of course includes the debacle […]

To use your own metaphor, he had possession (and would have retained it comfortably), only to then lose it through no fault of his own. It always makes me smile when people criticise others for being upset at […]

But that McLaren was a dog.

Odds on Kyvat making it to the end of the season surely getting longer with each passing race…

Please take the conspiracy theories elsewhere. I’ll stay polite and leave it at that.

Yeah, OK. Kyvat got comprehensively outqualified by Sainz and you think he would have been able to do what Max did today.

10. Of course a 10. That was stunning from Verstappen.

Nico mainly to blame for me. Looked to me like he pulled to the inside without checking his mirrors. He knew he was slow off the previous corner and I think the panicked a bit. By the time he had pulled over, […]

There is a principle involved here.

Red Bull-Voldemort. Kind of has a ring to it.

1) Schumacher is not ignored, he is always mentioned in the top 5 or 10 drivers of all time. Lots of people have him at number one. 2) It is quite frankly hilarious that you mention Senna as a driver that never cheated.
