@Mech Engineer, by your own reasoning a racist person should not be offended for being called out as a racist. Like you said, "...every thing said by anyone can be seen as degradory [sic] to some one or insulting to someone and can be taken as offensive even if what is being said is true." So Max Verstappen can be called out as being a racist after he called Stroll a "Mongol." But hey, he shouldn't be insulted or offended because its true - by your own reasoning.14-07-2022 06:07

Mr. Ginger Spice has lost his marbles. "Slightly unusual" for Mercedes to influence a customer team? Really? Like Ferrari doesn't have an impact on who drives for Haas or Alfa Romeo.07-09-2021 11:03

@WildWeasel - You obviously have lost count of something. Lewis and Valtteri have only completed 4 F1 seasons together: 2017, 2018,2019 & 2020.07-09-2021 11:15

So what is the likelihood that Max and Lewis come together like what happened at Silverstone? Max going on to win the race and celebrate with all the orange fans - only to be accused of a dastardly, amateur act? Not likely. Mercedes ain't Red Bull just as Toto isn't Mr Ginger Spice.04-09-2021 20:15

"RISE above them. 'Still I Rise' is from a Mary Angelou (a black woman, bless her soul) poem." Her name is Maya Angelou. "You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I’ll rise." And so shall Mr. future 8Xs WDC23-08-2021 13:46

Robert Kubica receives special permission by the FIA to drive with his feet. He subsequently runs the table and becomes the only F1 champion to go undefeated for 5 seasons - or is it un-dehanded?24-08-2019 04:31

One additional comment: Lewis Hamilton has always proved himself to be a top driver - I don't know what Stewart is trying to say by using "pure driver." Is "pure driver" supposed to mean pure white driver?24-04-2019 02:20

First thing, one really shouldn't be comparing eras in racing. That said, since Sir Jackie has jumped in with his unique spin, so shall I. Jackie had 27 wins out of 99 starts as an F1 driver. In his rookie season '65, he garnered 1 win for the season. He did the same for '66 and had 0 wins for '67. In Lewis Hamilton's rookie season, he beat his team-mate Fernando Alonso, who was WDC for the previous 2 seasons - And Hamilton missed out on winning the championship that year by a single World Championship point! Lewis Hamilton also podiumed in each of his first 9 starts as an F1 driver, which has never been matched since! Lewis Hamilton has also never had an F1 season in which he did not win a race! Sir Jackie, Sebastian V, Fernando A, Michael Schumacher and even the great Ayrton Senna cannot match that record. So how many wins did Hamilton have after 9 seasons of Formula 1? 43 wins out of 167 races which is 25.74 percent. So there is roughly a 1 1/2 percent difference in win percentage between the two drivers over their first 9 seasons. They both had 3 championships over 9 seasons: '69, '71 and '73 for Stewart and '08, '14 and '15 for Hamilton. What Lewis has done since 2015 hasn't lessened his greatness - but has immortalized it. I will give Stewart props for his tireless work to make Formula One safer for drivers - he deserves our respect and thanks for it, but he should really just sit back and enjoy the races rather than comparing current drivers to himself or other old timers.24-04-2019 02:04
