Always a strong idea to mention nazi’s in any sort of debate. I find it greatly enhances it.

Stop it! You’re ruining a perfectly sensible conspiracy theory!

Thankfully, you are all intelligence and class.

Where’s your source for this? Until the DTS influx happened, F1's global ratings had been dropping steadily since 2008.

There have been many people speculating, and even calling for Vettel to retire. Even a certain writer on this very website has been calling for it, in no uncertain terms, for years.

Briatore isn’t banned. He was originally banned for life but that was later reduced until the end of 2012.

Perhaps it should be about a snarky writer who thinks that a Netflix show is an accurate representation of Formula 1, and therefore doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about.

Agreed on Grand Prix and Le Mans, but I don’t really understand the love Ford v Ferrari gets. I found it quite disappointing; the racing scenes aren’t very good, and the whole storyline is just too ‘Hollywood’ for me. In any other region Ford would be seen as the villains of that story. I also can’t stand Christian…

The 1984 Monaco Grand Prix needs mentioning here. Prost won the event, while Lauda crashed out. However, the race was red-flagged early due to rainfall and only half points were dished out, leaving Prost with 4.5 instead of 9 points. This has widely been considered as the FIA intervening on Prost’s behalf to guarantee…

Same thing happened in 1964, where Graham Hill had to drop a fifth place to end up 1 point behind Surtees, instead of 1 point ahead.

With the current points system, which includes not dropping any results, Prost would be a seven-time world champ. He’d take the ‘83, ‘84 and ‘88 titles from Piquet, Lauda and Senna, respectively.

Kind of impossible to know. There’s no definitive stats for it. Probably someone who’s done a lot of laps, but didn’t race his entire career during the 1992-2008 era.

They seemed very even in 2015, though grid penalties makes a mess of trying to analyze any kind of data. Alonso handily beat Button in 2016, though. Outqualified him 15-4 and more than doubled Button’s points tally.

He didn’t.

But I do think Haas would have at least double the points they have now and Magnussen wouldn’t be leading the drivers championship.

Checo lost 12 pts in Bahrain, gained 3 in Australia, probably lost 3 in Miami and lost 15 points, tops, in Montreal due to Red Bull failures. Grand total of 27 points lost, and that’s being generous.

Williams can’t let him race, because he doesn’t qualify for a superlicense.

In 2001, Fernando Alonso finished 23rd overall, with only 22 cars on the grid.

This is all a ploy of Lawson to get rid of the competition. I heard he’s invited Hauger to his Rocket League group.
