I agree, he is a future WC.Something tells me that Verstappen only cares about winning and is prepared to do whatever it takes to do that. He's a born winner, plainly superior in talent to most of the current drivers and is absolutly a bit of a cnut, like most World Champions in fact.
Ricciardo is a nice guy but a brilliant, aggressive driver. He's a future world championI admire cuntishness in sportsmen. Everybody's favourites (Massa, Ricciardo, Webber, etc) are losers for a reason. Button had one lucky season.
There's a big difference between being a single minded competitor like Schumacher and a child flipping a game board because he lost. Right now, Verstappen actions seem more of the latter. When you are competing with other men, you need to uphold the professionalism of the sport like not intentionally slowing down drivers because you want to throw a fit.Something tells me that Verstappen only cares about winning and is prepared to do whatever it takes to do that.

Funny that you mention Schumacher and professionalism in the same post. This is the guy that got all his points taken away in one season for cheating, correct?There's a big difference between being a single minded competitor like Schumacher and a child flipping a game board because he lost.

I wondered about that, he was miles wide.Would Vettel going wide on that last corner be an advantage?
Let's hope so for LewisAnyways, Mercedes are a full 0.3 seconds faster than their closest competitor and Hamilton is a full 0.4 seconds faster than his teammate. The race is a foregone conclusion at this point.
Fair point but I was a kid in '94 so my memory of Schumacher comes from the 00s.Funny that you mention Schumacher and professionalism in the same post. This is the guy that got all his points taken away in one season for cheating, correct?
TV doesn't do justice to just how steep it is, it's close to vertical at some points, I'd love to see them drive on that in modern cars. It'd need resurfacing though!I would love to see racing on that banking.
Just taking a season off, he said he will be back in 2018.My favourite driver, Jenson Button, retiring after this season.
Didn't Mika Hakkinen take a sabbatical, he never came back.Yeah I can see your point, not had a decent car for a while now, maybe he will enjoy his year off an not want to come back, but I think with a decent car he still has plenty to offer F1.
You are correct, he never came back.Didn't Mika Hakkinen take a sabbatical, he never came back.
It's his first season in F1, he has lots to learn, and I don't doubt that he will. It's incredibly exciting to have someone as good as he is come into the mix. The issue regarding the defensive manoeuvre/tactic(moving late, after the driver behind has made his move at full throttle), needs to be addressed as it is obviously a massive accident waiting to happen. I read that this goes on a lot in the junior/development formulas and is not frowned upon like it is in F1.There's a big difference between being a single minded competitor like Schumacher and a child flipping a game board because he lost.

I don't think he'll come back, at least not to McLaren anyway. i'm surprised he didn't take the seat at Williams which was reportedly offered to him. He's won a WDC and he is a more than useful driver, but there's a new breed waiting to come in who already are struggling to get a seat largely because of paid drivers and their apparent necessity- Vandoorne coming in for the Bahrain race making his F1 race debut and out performing Jenson, scoring McLaren's first point of the season in the process just illustrates this.Yeah I can see your point, not had a decent car for a while now, maybe he will enjoy his year off an not want to come back, but I think with a decent car he still has plenty to offer F1.
