I definitely don't see Verstappen in second.
First 40+ races against Ricciardo and he came off second best. One of the markers of a truly great is that they beat their team mates from the very beginning of their f1 career. |

Great to see our man at number 7, great result in a POS car.
For those who don’t know, number 13 who drove for the (part) Penske team in our touring car series has joined their Indi team. He is a huge talent! We’ll claim him as ours even though he is from the other side of the Antipodean ditch. There are a few Aussies on that list. When you consider our population I think we have to be punching above our weight? |

No you wouldn't see MV anywhere, actually he should be in first taking into account the equipment,drive and skill as a whole that was available to him. |

One of my all time favourite race car series. Coincidentally I've watched a couple of episodes of Frayed which is supposed to be set in your hometown of Newcsatle. |

I had never heard of Frayed until now, certainly hasn’t been shown down here AFAIK anyway. The picture in their Wiki page is definitely Newcastle beach though |

Excluded from the #1 position on that performance alone.

I would have hoped to see Kevin Estre on this list, but I can understand the competition. Highly underrated driver with balls of steel. If you haven’t seen his pass on the Ring, 24 hour jam, on the straight in his RSR use the ole google machine. Earth sized balls.

The Bottas ranking seems comically high. Was this ranking before George Russell went for a ride in the Merc?

This was a bizarre race allowed to be set up on a track covered in oil that should have at best been refused for f1 racing from the start so can't be used as an example for 'best driver' with someone who lucked into a win. If VER had won I would not have judged his driving from this on a track that was only suitable to be part of a rally cross course. Last edited by M5Rick; 12-21-2020 at 03:31 AM.. |

Yet even with all that car advantage he still had a miserable race spinning and sliding all over the shop like a rookie. The eventual winner showed exactly how to win a race when you don't have the best car, you just need talent and skill in poor conditions. |

The thing is, you don't make Verstappen a better driver by endlessly making up BS about other teams cheating and how rubbish other drivers/teams are. You just encourage folk who support those other teams/drivers to push back. I don't think anything will stop mpowerbelge from being a douche about anyone who isn't Verstappen...but you at least seem to have more about you. No one can say I didn't at least try. |

You and one other member were bragging on his prowess in Turkey and downing HAM to no end. You are shameless. These comments aged like old milk:

The undercut didn't work back then (like it does now) because of refueling. Kimi went 3 laps longer on his 2nd stint and was able to clear Massa. If you watch the stop, there was no delay at all. Stop making things up. Last edited by 4play; 12-21-2020 at 10:55 AM.. |
