Pffft!
Yep.
Everyone hated Schumacher's attitude once upon a time. A lot didn't like Senna. I remember what everyone thought of that interview with Jackie Stewart at the time, the one that's now held up as as example of his grit and determination.
I don't think anyone will surpass Schumacher's 7 titles, just like i don't think anyone will surpass Senna's on the limit ability.
Senna
Schumacher
Clark
Top 3 for me, with Hamilton right on the edge of that list.
It almost came off. Ric climbed to 7th in 3 laps? Switch his engine failure with VER and I'd be sitting pretty in the league... I sound like a rawkiteOops.
He didn’t do anything wrong ffs
See above you lunatic
Goid to see some sense at last.
Really
Feck me i hope i see white txt.
Yes.
Agree with all of that with the exception of being unable to understand how good Clark was.
I am too young to have seen him but from what I have heard from people who did...
He won at Spa in the wet by 5 minutes

A sore winner. Great driver, shit person.
Gotcha. I imagine wumming is stil funny to a certain element.
Apparently, Verstappen is using a suspension that was banned in Australia early in the season. Besides, the man who was in control of it left the FIA for Renault. Guess who gives Red Bull power Unit.

I don't think he's using a suspension that was banned, they would have used it on both cars & we wouldn't have seen Ricciardo struggle for pace (besides any engine issues). I think he had the car dialled in to the circuit perfectly, combined with a great downforce car, clear air, and durable tyres meant he had some incredible pace.
Budkowski won't be active with Renault till March next year, by which time the 2019 car is the only time he's going to have some level of influence. Power units will have moved on majorly by then. It'll be a political story next year, and nothing more.

Ricciardo hinted at this special suspension on Max's car some weeks ago.
Difficul to see Verstappen win a title if he keeps the same shit attitude. He's just too dick and not cool-headed enough.
The only way Verstappen doesn't win titles is if he doesn't get a car capable of it. He has everything else he needs - including the cutting edge and ruthlessness.
Like I said yesterday, if he was driving in a red car you'd bloody love him. Just like you did Schumacher and do Vettel. He's brilliant.
No, he's a cock. I can only give him time because he is bloody young.

This sounds pretty darn good to me, especially the bolded part which should avoid a faster car being stuck behind a slower car for laps on end. Also bring back the sound!

Formula 1 has revealed its plans for a new engine formula from 2021.
The proposals are aimed at reducing costs, "improving the sound", increasing competitiveness between teams and maintaining road relevance.
The plan is to retain a 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrid but to remove one of the two ways currently used to generate hybrid power.
Engines will run at a higher speed and the drivers will have greater control over hybrid energy deployment.
The key proposals, which are an attempt to improve the racing, were presented to teams by governing body the FIA and new F1 owners Liberty Media at a meeting in Paris on Tuesday.

The proposals are:
- a 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrid.
- Engines running 3,000rpm faster to improve sound.
- The removal of the MGU-H, the part of the hybrid system that recovers energy from the turbo and which is largely responsible for muting the sound made by the current engines.
- A more powerful MGU-K - which recovers energy from the rear axle - to make up the loss in hybrid energy from the MGU-H and with the option for a driver to save up energy over a number of laps to add a tactical element to the racing.
- A single turbo with constraints on dimensions and weight.
- Standard battery and control electronics.
- Research into tightening up fuel regulations
Some of Vettel overtakes this season:
Canada:
Barcellona:
Texas:
So shit and overrated. I don't remember Lewis and Max doing this.

Sky F1's Ted Kravitz believes Hamilton will see out another contract with Mercedes before replacing Vettel to fulfil his "dream" of driving for Ferrariand finish his career with the Scuderia.

First, I don't remember him being called shit in here.
Second, you have a very selective memory if you think Lewis and Max haven't passed anyone
Even as a Ferrari fan I don't really like Vettel although I probably dislike Hamilton even more than him.
I would like to see Daniel, Max or Alonso be champion next year

So no Ferrari?
Not direct to any of you on here, but it is the general mood that considers Vettel overrated.First, I don't remember him being called shit in here.

I thought the same when he was with Red Bull, but after all his comebacks this season he is a truly WC driver.
Well, he always buys a Ferrari so i guess he likes us.@Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87

When does his contract expire?
I think he has 1 more year after this but is goign to renew for another 3.
I don't like Vettel and Raikkonen is finished as a racing driverSo no Ferrari?
Has santi been banned again?
just noticed that , wonder what he has done now.
I actually like him , he can actually post some good stuff.

Looking forward to this one.
Championship finished but some interesting battles still to be had. Massa’s 2nd retirement will be fun, and there’s always the possibility of rain at Interlagos which, combined with the tight circuit & slopes makes it intriguing!
Would like to see a genuine battle between Seb & Lewis this time. We’ve been robbed of it a few times this season for various different reasons but hopefully we can have something epic this weekend.
When was the last time Grojean completed a race weekend without spinning?

I think the Mercedes will be off into the sunset on Sunday, their high fuel pace is strong. There will be more of a battle between Max & Seb i think...
breaking news on Sky , the Mercedes team mini bus has been robbed at Gun point.
The Renault vs Toro Rosso story is a good one. Could do without them missing out on Abu Dhabi though, grid is small enough as it is. Looking like a Ferrari pole here, although the rain might spice things up a bit. Can't remember the last good race we had after the championship was decided so two Ferraris, two Mercs and Verstappen out in Q1 would be nice.
Happens every year in Brazil
One down, four to go. The Merc's been threatening to do that all weekend.
Shocked at Lewis's crash, but too aggressive on cold rubber and cold track.
back of the grid for the race, full set of tyres, still see him getting a podium finish.
Nah it's a horrible track for overtaking, and the Red Bulls and Ferraris are too quick in the races. 6th at best depending on what happens with Ricciardo's penalties.
yeah good points. Forgot how bad this track is for overtaking, any rain for the race.
