MUFC 1,503 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The best F1 driver over the last 15 years is between Daniel Wrexler, Zoe Sharpe and Harry Chapman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said it before but I’ve really turned to strongly like Seb in recent years. His sense of humour, to silly radio comments, to his bromance with Lewis. Probably fishing from Cannabis, but he definitely has not bottled every title race. Even his battle with Lewis when he was at Ferrari, Lewis was just too good. Seb in his prime was lethal. To be fair, Lewis drove conclusively better than Vettel in 2017 and 2018. Even if Vettel had matched him, though, Ferrari never had the goods compared to Mercedes in the development race. That's the story of the hybrid era though. The best driver on the grid in the best team on the grid in an era of F1 with very few cars breaking down and DRS making it pretty easy to recover from adversity if you have a fast car, one big recipe for the absolute dominance we end up seeing.

Controversial take. I wouldn't rule it out, but I don't think it's nailed on either. Ferrari have a certain knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory . He definitely drove better than Vettel though regardless of the team/car difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma 1,766 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I've always been put off by NASCAR over here because of the stereotypical fan. The racing is interesting but the fanbase seems degenerate and 400 mile races seem ridiculous to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 296 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 i was hoping the new rules will flip the script but in reality it looks like the big 4 have just made a grand canyon between themselves and the rest. hybrid racing has not only made poor teams poorer due to costs, but made F1 a procession. F1 will die soon if they cannot restore that old era of absolutely anyone can win, open testing and cheaper components. a good ol V12 costs nothing while a hybrid costs 30m a unit.

I think he was racing under the Russian Automobile Federation RAF flag. But yea, obviously Uralkali are still gone from Haas, and they were the only reason he was/is there. I was more concerned about drivers like Robert Shwartzman if a ban would have come into effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazepin should not race because he is Russian/Balarusian, he shouldnt race because he is garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
