Honestly, we should be giving Alguersuar the pole position and handing Glock second place, while everyone else can just go jump in a lake if they think they deserve their spots...

Another episode of the F1 daycare center, featuring Bernie’s little crybabies 🙄

If these guys were actually top-tier drivers, they wouldn't be huddled up in their trailers coddling their sponsors... they’d actually get out on the track while everyone else is cruising at 50 mph just to see who can push it to 60. Honestly, I just feel bad for the fans who paid good money to watch these toddlers throw tantrums... I’d lose my mind if I had traveled all the way to Japan for THIS.

Fisichell blew Schumacher's tire, yet Massa Alons was fine... what kind of nonsense is this...? 🤷

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzlJaVm32nk 🙏Honestly, looking at the facts... he really lost 8th place there...🙏🙏

Damn, let's be real, he definitely dropped to 8th...

Tomorrow we’re looking at rain and pure chaos, and just when everyone thinks they know who the title contenders are, Grandpa steps up to show them how it’s actually done on his old Suzuki...

It would be quite something to witness Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso going head-to-head on my absolute favorite track... if I ever get the chance to experience it once in my life 🙂

It’s a damn shame my trip has been pushed back to next year, because it looks like I'll just end up getting soaked in the rain out there 😁

To all the rest of you jumping in with "but Hamilton is younger" or "Kimi was just unlucky with the car"—please, I'm asking nicely, just stay out of this discussion. I promised Sepi I wouldn't get insulting anymore, but even I have my limits. Please, do me and Sepi a favor and give us some space. Thanks. God bless!

Are you actually going to answer the question?

silvercobra68 said:Let me disagree with you again, especially regarding Webber. You're saying Mark Webber has no brains? What do you mean by that? This season, he is perfectly demonstrating that he has both the brains and the speed, along with courage—not just bravado as you claim. Plus, he has the strongest mental game on the grid. Which driver could masterfully drive Silverstone after his team basically spat in his face? None. Mika Häkkinen was a composed driver with a strong head, but when things didn't go his way, he actually knew how to sit down and cry (like Monza '99). Webber doesn't sit there and cry; Webber breaks legs, gets back up, faces an entire team against him, and still wins races while fighting for a title. In terms of that kind of grit, only Piquet in '86 and '87 really compare—one win, one loss—just like Webber might if he takes it this year. Besides, he's the best of the five when it comes to damage control. Remember Alonso at Spa, when he should have been minimizing damage but instead spun out on his own (I'm not talking about the collision with Barrichello)? Or Silverstone—when he should have minimized damage, he inappropriately overtook Robert Kubica. If he wins the title, it will be because of Spa and Silverstone, not Turkey, Canada, or whatever else. In Canada, he lost two positions, but I'd rather lose two positions than have Lewis Hamilton run him over and both of them DNF. If he clinches it, it'll be thanks to Canada. As for Schumacher, whom you're citing as the best in this group, he's proving this year that the legend might be a myth. There aren't tires specially made for the German this year, no millions upon millions of kilometers of testing; in other words, the polished German is finally in the same pot as everyone else. There is no more preferential treatment. Under those conditions, even Barrichello might have won five titles—maybe six if he'd been the number one driver and someone like Fisichella was second. Get it? It's not about the completeness of the driver; it's about him driving in incomparably better conditions than the rest of the grid. So how can Alonso be worse than him? Tell me, how is Alonso worse than MS? Unless the criterion is just chronology. Alonso is the youngest world champion; he was winning back in 2003 when he was very green, and he wasn't any greener in 2005 when he masterfully drove his way to a title. Can Alonso's first title be compared to MS's first? Yes. Both drove for teams that had the second fastest car on the grid, both were clear number ones, and both faced opponents in cars that were technically faster but plagued by issues. And look how it ended. Alonso's title was as clean as it gets; MS's was as murky as it gets. I'm not talking about the controversial driving standards or nonsense; I'm talking about on-track behavior. Like at Silverstone, why on earth overtake during a pace lap? We haven't seen the full extent of Alonso's Ferrari stint yet, but in 2010, the Ferrari is the second fastest car, just like it was in 1996. So even 2010 is comparable. MS won three times in '96, but Alonso has already won four, and MS wasn't even in the title fight. Honestly, stormyviper11, you've still got plenty of time until 2020, right? Besides, even in wins, he's better: MS started his Ferrari stint with 19 wins, while Alonso is at 21. Two more wins! It's small, but it counts. Look, my friend, it's not all black and it's not all white. Light comes from different angles; sometimes gray looks black, and sometimes gray looks white. Sometimes, in heavy fog, you can't even tell what colors we're talking about—unless, of course, you're Nebelmeister. I'm waiting for the story about Nebelmeister who froze the sun. When is it coming? Give me something; I know a little about Nebelmeister, so I'd love for him to write something for a change, since Monteverdi isn't showing up.

When you really sit back and look at it, how many titles do you honestly think Kimi would have secured if he hadn't been stuck driving those unreliable McLarens...

And I seriously have to wonder if you even bothered watching Schumacher's early years, back in '92 and '93...
Because if you actually had, you would have written this post quite differently...

It’s funny how all that "crybaby" talk has suddenly vanished... now that Ferrari has been the best car on the grid for the last two races, suddenly Alonso is the undisputed best driver out there... your objectivity is truly second to none... 😉

stormybadger8 said:So basically, three out of your five favorites are the same as mine.👍

I don't know, none of this makes sense to me. You've got the McLaren camp—meaning Hamilton—the Ferrari camp, then the Alonso camp (which logically should be the same thing, though I doubt it), plus a lost Seb over at Williams, myself, and obviously Phil and his obsession with MSC. That's pretty much the whole lineup.

But now I really don't get how you guys claim to be neutral.😕

When I defend Vettel during the Webber-Vettel Turkey situation, suddenly Vettel is the undisputed villain and Webber is the hero, and I'm clearly being totally biased.

But when everyone starts squawking about how Webber is an idiot and Hamilton is just some poor collateral damage from crazy Webber, then that's perfectly fine, right?😕

Look, the reason I didn't even argue about it is because it's been obvious for a long time that there's zero point in debating it. Honestly, I just don't have the energy anymore.☕

You're telling me...😉

Anything but Alonso and Hamilton!

All this talk about rain when there isn't a single drop in sight, and I suspect tomorrow will follow the exact same pattern... 👎

Kimi & Schumacher in Q3 👍

I'd personally go with number three 🙂

There’s this one movie—I can't quite wrap my head around the title right now—where the guy literally slaps another person with their own severed arm after pinning them against a wall... 🤣 honestly, at that point, you've crossed over into pure comedy 😂

I honestly think Todt is just sitting there throwing a tantrum every time he sees what his team has turned into...

I honestly don't understand how anyone can even attempt to compare Alonso and Massa to those legendary eras at Ferrari..........Schumacher *was* Ferrari. He was the one building the car alongside his mechanics, he was the one putting in the testing hours. Pure, relentless work ethic. Back then, everyone knew exactly who the second driver was and what their role entailed. But compared to how things are run today 🙄......Alonso 🙄

I actually feel a bit sorry for Alonso. Ever since that Michelin era ended, he’s been stuck in this mindset that he’s still some kind of untouchable legend.....

Everyone keeps obsessing over what happened between Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello in Austria back in 2002, yet somehow nobody seems to care about the way Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard handled things in Australia during '98... 🙄

Joseph Young57 said:Honestly, I haven't even been following this stuff seriously since Kimi left Formula 1.😉

Exactly.

It’s honestly pathetic watching Alonso go on and on about those 42 team points... if I were actually sitting there interviewing him, I’d have to point out the obvious flaw in his logic: if Massa had actually held onto that first place, they would have walked away with those 42 points anyway, wouldn't they?...

Wherever Alonso goes, controversy follows close behind... I can only imagine what he would have had to say if Schumacher’s engine hadn't given out during the Suzuki 2006...

Just look back at the chaos of China 2008 to see how these things actually play out... Felipe Massa is talking absolute nonsense just like Fernando Alonso is doing today, while Kimi Räikkönen probably just sits there laughing at both the journalist and Massa... when he’s asked about it, he'd likely just shrug and say he has no idea why everyone is acting so shocked, since it was all perfectly standard and business as usual 🤣
