Better still: Stop comparing drivers.
yeah especially by a points-based system, allocating points based on who finishes a pre-determined distance first. if you finish first you get 1 point, if you finish second you get 2 points, and so forth in that manner.
This person deserves a good slap.
But still it might be true…
Nah he won races and challenged for titles. He is going down in F1 history. If you can only remember the champions you’re a crummy F1 fan. Like, come on, some of the most memorable drivers from the nineties include Eddie “search him on youtube with “trousers down”” Irvine, Gerhard “no fucks given, only pranks” Berger, and Jean “one win all the tears, PS I’M THE SEXIEST MAN EVER” Alesi. Olivier Panis, Giancarlo Fisichella, Ricardo “three decade career” Patrese, Jos the Boss, and blessed Rubinho, just to name a few.
Formula One history isn’t just champions, it isn’t just the winners. If you only focus on the guy who finished first (nine times out of ten because of his car mind you) you’re missing 20+ brilliant drivers driving brilliantly. Luca Badoer crying after his Minardi gave up the ghost the one time he was running in points in 1999, or the celebration of Super Aguri’s first points. So many more emotions than just “happy cause my team won/sad cause my team lost”
Also, one more thing: nobody bad mouths Webber, mate. Say that to my face at the Queenbeyan Leagues Club and not on the internet, MATE.
Fernando is doing sensational. I hope his tyres hold in.
This is the first time I’ve gotten to watch a grand prix live since I was in Melbourne for the first race. Damn missed the excitement.
Nando’s pass on Hamilton shows just how talented Alonso is, how confident he is, but also the belief and trust the top players have in each other. Can you see a 2012 vintage Grosjean being able to keep his cool in a situation like that? Brilliant drivers driving brilliantly.
