Brake problem.
Lewis was ahead before getting problems, Nico retired when already behind to add context. It's hilarious because of how off the mark you are. I'm surprised I'm having to reply again really.
Thanks.👍
2015 was the least conclusive year in my opinion.
He won only by small margin, the other two years were more comprehensive in terms of speed.
Personally I think Nico is good at all tracks, that's why battle is usually so close in qualifying.
That looks like a load of rubbish to be honest.
What a terrible list. First thing that pops into my head is how high Rosberg, Heidfield of all people, Brundle, Ricciardo and Frentzen are(second rate drivers no one would ever cosnider elite, and certainly not above Hakkinen who isn't on the list). You don't even have to go that far and it's immediately invalidated in my opinion by Schumacher only being ninth and Alonso being top 3.
So you think driving a car in the 80's is easier, or just as easy, as it seems today? It definitely isn't. Until I see a driver be as physically 'destroyed' as Senna was after his unbelievable drive in the rain at Interlagos whilst stuck in 6th gear, the argument that driving an F1 car today is easier than it was 20-30 years ago still stands.
No, it's more to do with completely different eras of racing. The cars are completely different to drive, and the tracks are completely different as well, for better or for worse. Until we can drop Lewis Hamilton in a McLaren MP4/4 around 1988 Monaco, we will never now how he truly stacks up against the all time greats.
It's really up to whoever is classifying them. I'd rather do it after a career has closed, than whilst they're still racing, as they can either a) Become a whole lot better or b) Fall away into the background.
Here;
Same goes for you.
Which is why this is a pretty pointless argument until time travel becomes a thing, which will probably be never.
I never said he hadn't. It's nearly common knowledge to know that both him and Alonso have driven the MP4/4, but not at balls to the wall pace, for obvious reasons.
Schumacher and his return to drive for Mercedes can be seen as hurting that legacy for going on too long. Senna in '91'92/'93, where he stepped up another level again, firther securing his status as a great of the sport, Raikonnen's drop off in recent years (not including these last few races where he has stepped up a bit), to name a few.
I agree. I can't see someone like James Hunt dealing with all the dials and settings that a modern F1 car has.
And again, in the few instances they have, it relates to something like all the dials, and steering wheel settings and the like. Until we get a '89 Prost, for example, to drive his car for that season and a 2016 Mercedes, at the same track, and a '16 Hamilton to do the same and compare, we'll never know. And the likelihood of that ever happening, is incredibly low.
No that's me asking how they have it easier in likeness to Fangio, more so than the best current drivers.
Well sure, if I said something as an absolute but I didn't so not sure why you thought I made the same error, other than just to do so.
You never know, could happen.
Well yeah obviously, it was a facetious statement because it all seems silly in the end.
Kimi I don't feel really had a drop off, just didn't have a car that suited him, putting him in the same scope as Jenson. A driver with a very limited range, but then I remember the various cars he drove that were quite different and wonder why these past couple years were so problematic.
Dials don't get you the ladies
Well yeah, so why are we arguing if we agree?
