Another way to look at it, as you seem to suggest with ‘better use of the chances they had”, is to consider the number of times the driver has converted his chances into poles. In that regard, […]

@Jan, I urge you to read the post by anon posted a second after yours under the article by Keith about the reasons why the stewards removed the penalty points. Obviously, not all drivers know where to do their […]

8 wins to 6 wins

At Spa 2008, Kimi Raikkonen led most of the race. It was only when the track became damp that Hamilton started catching him. As good as Kimi was in the wet, he was no match for Lewis. Felipe has never been good in […]

@DavidBondo Classification is based on the total of point earned for the year (and not on total points accumulated in a number of years). Based on the official classifications for those 3 years spent as […]

What do you mean by “holding it against him”? Of course, all know that he was an aging player then. He was not the same athlete that won those titles with Chicago.

In boxing, Ali came back after 3 years in […]

Only if the results did not count towards the Formula One championship. If they did, there would be no reason to exclude them from the archives.

Funnily enough, the certain 6-time champion has triumphed over those teammates that beat him (one season) twice in 3 seasons and three times in 4 seasons (in chronological order). The 4-time champion has never […]

Both he and the team messed up.
As for his incompetence, I think that 89 victories, six world championships, 94 poles, 157 podiums, 6 grand chelems (and I could go on) give me a more direct and precise answer […]

You beat me to it. I was about to point that out to @balue. He must be a novice to F1 (or he must dislike Hamilton a lot).

How many seasons did JB and LH spend together as teammates?
JB won one season. How many did LH win?

To avoid misunderstanding, Schumacher was disqualified for the entire year, but he was in second place. He rammed his car into JVilleneuve’s Williams (hoping to take both cars out and thus keep JV from taking the […]

Senna, in my opinion, is the greatest F1 driver. However, your stating that Hamilton needed 100 more races to equal the number of poles achieved by Senna is wrong and misleading. Senna achieved 65 poles in 161 […]

@chrismichaelaoun
Your sentence “I suppose all female employees at Mercedes earn the same amount as Lewis Hamilton then?” proves that you are missing the point completely. Lewis mentions equal pay but also for […]

You meant 2007. That is when Hamilton won his first GP.

@robbie For the question about Hamilton, considering that Senna is his idol, it is not a stretch to believe that he (Hamilton) saw a gap and went for it. Senna famously said: “And, if you no longer go for a gap […]

Well stated. In fact, the 1993 season was the one that turned me into a fan of Ayrton Senna. I liked Prost better during their years at McLaren. Although the Williams was still the take-no-prisoner machine in […]

For me it was Hamilton. It was a “must-win” race for him. He responded with a grand chelem. Definitely the DOTW.
