    I don’t think Vettel is even in the top 10 in wheel to wheel racing. Drivers like Ocon and Perez and Mugnussen would smoke him in the same car. The guy panicks like an amateur every time he is next to other cars. Ricciardo smoked him in the same car. Max smoked Ricciardo. So there is 2 guys already who are better than Vettel.

    The rest honestly don't even bring anything special, especially those Haas drivers
    I guess Hamilton ruined too many weekends for you (68 wins?) that’s why he is so low on your list hahaha.

    2) Leclerc

    Alonso is the best bar none. Shame Ferrari took too long to build him a real winner of a car.

    I wouldn’t say Seb and Kimi were the 2 worst but for sure they should have won both races since the Summer break. Hamilton went into the Summer with a 24 point advantage. And even though Ferrari has had the best car since coming back somehow Hamilton has managed to extend that advantage by a further 6 points. How could this happen.

    Kvyat smoked Ricciardo in 2015, Rosberg smoked Hamilton in 2016, Button smoked Hamilton in 2011 and just like them, Ayrton Senna and other drivers have been smoked in the past.

    I was referring to wheel to wheel racing. Of those you’ve mentioned only kvyat is as bad as Vettel in that regard.

    Back in the good old days it was:
    1) Alonso - Kimi - Hamilton
    2) everybody else
    Vettel wasn't in the picture.
    If you must take that time span, Kimi took a sabbatical, Hamilton was on par with Button and the championship was mostly between Vettel and Alonso(except for Brawn)

    I don't get those rating Vettel above Hamilton, that has shown to be categorically wrong these past two seasons.

    This, but Alonso is ahead of Verstappen as he has far far fewer incidents.

    Leading championship for most of the season last year despite having a much inferior car proves that Vettel is way above Hamilton.

    Max is now only 20 yrs. old and his ride is not so hot to say the least. He's right up there like it or not with the best drivers with not one of the best cars. Alonso is the best driver with Max catching up. Leclerc is also I believe 20 yrs. old and come next yr. he will be driving one of; if not the best cars. I wish him well, just imagine Max blessed with a Ferrari car !! When he reaches 37 yrs. old he probably would be the main record breaker in F1

    Ferrari had the marginally best car last year and Vettel + Team failed to maximise. They are following the same pattern this year. Vettel should be 60+ points ahead but he has been bottling it badly a few times. I mean Hamilton, with 3 mechanical issues compared to Zero for Vettel is leading by 40 points. I mean how incompetent can you get?

    Way above for sure! Just look at this year so far, Lewis is no where to be found, 60 miserable points ahead is nothing.

    1. Max

    Believe me, Hamilton would have his hands full of boy. He is outqualifying Ric by bigger margin then Lewis is outqualifying Bottas. Insane.

    well if you search a bit the news you'll find out that Daniel is being left out from team meetings, RB are not using the recommended engine modes by Renault for extra power on Daniel's car and so on. He is basically a stranger in his own team. You cannot expect them to let him out pace their star driver now right? Max is behaving like a spoiled brat, even showing the fingers at journalists yesterday during the post race interviews and yet all is ok coz he knows RB is all about backing him up.

    Maybe Daniel was never as good as everyone thought he was, maybe it was down to Vettel getting less attention or just passing time till he left.

    The truth is probably somewhere inbetween.

    Seb had a "bad car->get out" in his contract. And that happened, so he could move to Ferrari.

    Nice try....

    Ferrari did not have the marginally best car last year not even close. At specific circuits where short wheel base helped, Ferrari was faster. Monaco, Hungary, Singapore. But at most circuits it was advantage Merc and with bigger time gaps. Even at Monaco, Bottas was 0.045 sec away from Kimi at pole.

    I think the Merc was the better car but they had issues with setup and understanding the tyres, which probably had to do with their suspension getting banned at last minute.
