Was that the official aided winning season? I forget. Can't rewrite history. In any case, yes, only your favourite guy is good. When he gets in any kind of car, the sun rises and he overtakes all traffic including on motorways. On the F1 track he simply is the best that there ever was, the best that there ever is and the best...you get it. All the others are barely average racers, especially the one who won 7(.5) WDCs.06-08-2023 13:41

Most importantly? Hahaha. That was a good chuckle. I don't think Russell has regressed and he certainly hasn't stopped developing. That is just harsh and factually unproven. I will accept it as your opinion though. Completely entitled to it. From what I see, Russell's skill level isn't far off Hamilton or Verstappen. He is definitely less experienced than Hamilton and slightly less so than Max in a top 3 car. These are facts. Not fanboy/girl/person wishful thinking. Yes, I know it's difficult to find objective minded fans. I will keep trying.06-08-2023 13:52

It's actually not that far fetched. Whilst you are developing a concept you don't personalise it. At that stage, Checo was winning some races and challenging Max. When your concept is proven you further develop. At that point, Max is prioritised. I would have said the same about Merc and the other teams but the reality is they don't have a working concept, so they can't afford to develop around Hamilton or Leclerc or anyone else for that matter. Maybe once they have their concepts you will see them aggressively developed in the direction that their lead driver wants...down to sitting positions06-08-2023 13:46

It's possible to stand still, before regressing. In other words not improving but not regressing. Let us agree to disagree. Not a Russell fan by any stretch but I do not think he's far off Lewis or Max (yes, I said it), who like LH before him is enjoying the benefit of a fast car and an uptick in confidence. Let's see how long it lasts. Didn't seem that long ago I heard LH fans saying their driver was all skill despite the car and opponents were calling the Merc a rocket. Now it's the other way round, with Max fans thinking he's the most skillful and not thinking he's driving a rocket. All included, hakuna matata.09-08-2023 00:10

Analogy - Nike could develop a pair of sneakers based on a particular runner's weight, height, gait and then sell the same mould to the public. You have the best shoes - true but you won't have the same performance. The act isn't built for you. Especially with the budget limitations, RB cannot afford to develop to the spec of both drivers. It only makes sense that they prioritise. Checonhas underperformed this season relative to his skills set and to his car but ultimately, it's still a RB so it clears the field when he's racing at his best BUT not matched against Max who the car is being developed for. So it's not that Checo is in a slower car, it's just not his car. Saw the side swipe against LH by the way. He's got skill, maverick and experience. You don't win as many times as he has and lack those things. Let's respect his achievements. George is talented but still learning. Undoubtedly he will incorporate things he learns from LH into his game and will be become an even bigger force to reckon with...if Merc ever sort out their car....now about Charles.....05-08-2023 10:25

I think people should learn to say 5 good things about others before they criticise them. I'll be honest this unrelenting focus on Hamilton and Verstappen gets a bit wearing. There are 18 other brilliant drivers on the grid. Fact - on that grid, LH is the most successful, no doubt. Fastest car or no. I would hazard that none of the other WDC winning drivers on the grid have won in a slower car. Verstappen included. Formula 1 (and the other formats) is about car engineering meeting skilled driver. George Russell is also a good driver but is not a world champion. Results from last year, if true that Merc were runnings different setups in a hope to improve their car tell me nothing. It's okay to like him though. However, some comparisons just seem to be a bit premature. When are we going to start talking about CL and Sainz (okay Ferrari not helping themselves at the moment), and hopefully not in a denigrating manner. You would agree it's possible to elevate the quality of conversations. Constructive criticism is great but a lot of what some post on this forum just seems a bit personal. Maybe it's just a bit of fun, in which case, pax, but if it's more than that, then some more maturity would be appreciated by those of us who read the sometimes click-bait articles and ensuing comments for more insight. If the only insight being shared is beef and sourgrapes, I'm wondering what the point is.18-05-2023 18:15

Hahaha ?. Gosh this really made me laugh out loud. Dude should get real. Give LH a competitive car and he's right in there. Just take a look at Fernando for instance. It's what I've been saying for years, skill level margins between top drivers are very tiny indeed. It's the car and setup that make the most difference. All this wishful thinking that this person or that person should drop out or retire is just that. I personally hope he stays at Merc and if their car evolution comes good, it would make a most fantastic spectacle indeed. Very appetising. Hopefully Aston Martin can evolve too and then we can truly see sparks fly.16-05-2023 18:19
