Nico can come 2nd 3 times and can come in 3rd one time and he’d still win assuming Lewis wins all of those races. I have no doubt he’ll have a technical retirement at least one time, but the rest of the tracks aren’t solely power tracks, so RBR and Ferrari can still launch a solid attack meaning Lewis probably isn’t…

Agreed. When Lewis has a trouble free race, Nico can’t see him in terms of talent. That being said, I don’t think we should take away from the fact that Nico is likely to win this title because he has nothing to do with the problems Lewis has and he has had more than one superb race this season. His qualifying is…

Gotta get the Respiration Flying High Pete Rock Remix with Black Thought. One of the slickest beats I’ve heard. Music you can just chill to. Lyrics obviously still on point.

Nothing he’s done after leaving Renault has been worthy of his talent? I’ll give you that he’s not good at reading when to join a team, but you’re crazy if you don’t think 2010 and 2012 weren’t worthy of his talent. Ferrari failed to deliver in those years, not Alonso.

Please, he’s the first to admit he didn’t handle his year with Hamilton well. No one denies that, not even him. The fact that they’re on good terms now shows how much respect they have for each other. But he’s stated multiple times that 2007 wasn’t his proudest year and he absolutely let Hamilton get to him. That’s…

Anyone who expects a world champion to be happy running in the mid-field is crazy. In fact, I don’t think ANY driver would be happy consistently running in the mid-field. Fact is that Fernando is probably the only driver that seems to get consistently better with age and it would be a real shame if he were to leave…

I guess the fact that he probably wears new race shoes for every race makes it a little better...

Great stuff from Hamilton and Alonso. Alonso was making life tough for every driver that tried to get past him, most of them in wholly superior cars.

They couldn’t afford to lose someone who lived and breathed Top Gear. From what I’ve read, Clarkson’s work ethic was unparalleled but he assaulted a co-worker and they couldn’t keep him either. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Agreed. 100% okay with it. There has to be back marker teams because those are the teams that launch careers. Granted, if there were only manufacturer’s teams on the grid, young drivers would still be hired, but it would be so so much harder to get on the grid. Back marker teams have always made F1 work. They’ve…

Really, Williams may have taken the WCC in 1990 and 1991 if it weren't for their lack of a truly world class driver in 1990 and the unreliability of the then new semi auto gearbox in 1991. Certainly they would've won in 1991. Mansell had to retire from the first three races in 1991.

I call bs on the notion that Honda was so dominant that they built this as an exercise to keep themselves from getting bored. By 1990 Renault had the engine to beat in Formula 1. Realistically, once the turbo era ended, the Honda engine was thoroughly outclassed by the Renault engine but for 1990, Williams didn’t have…

Obvious troll is obvious troll?

“...and there would be a four-way, two-team battle for the championship if Mercedes’ two cars didn’t count.”

Facts. I’ve countered with this point that most years are dominated by one team and in response someone said that at least back then, the drivers and cars were more interesting and less politically correct and a driver died every so often... and I’m not sure how any of that makes the racing exciting. I will say that…

I never knew that episode of Seinfeld was inspired by a true story. Remarkable.

I’m 100% in agreement about the stupid infractions.

F1 car costs $10 million... an NSX costs $200,000 tops... that’s about 2% of the cost.

No, not necessarily and the track F1 was at today is a good example of why. At the beginning of the race, it was mentioned that due to the high temperature and high friction nature of the track used for the Hungarian GP, the tires were going to go through a probably 5-6 lap graining period during which the drivers…

That was unequivocal.
