Well, Ferrari did take a step back...like four months of it and chucked it out the window.

I think Red Bull Honda could be very competitive in the near future. I could see Lewis going there.

More like Sebastian heading there if LeClerc beats him. But depends on what Max does

I don't see any reason for Hamilton to leave Mercedes as long as that combination produces good results.

Only his own ability made him no2. Toto went out of his way to ensure everything was equal, many times to the detriment of Lewis

Well that’s the thing isn’t it. This seasons looks like that is nearing a end

Boy, it’s more likely next year Ferrari should be the place to be

Another cool achievement by a F1 driver is Max winning 5 races , never starting from pole pos. And he just turned 21 last win. And then you have Seb, never who never won a race starting outside the top 3.

I see

Lot of you guys over here are putting too much hope into CL, as he is from another world and he will just sit into car and drive it to victory in every race.... I hope you all won't be disappointed...

Isn't that like every sport on this planet? Usually wins one with more points over other one?!

Maybe we should start a few new threads on this forum...

The...all hail the god Hamilton thread
The...all hail the god Verstappen thread

This way all the fanboys can profess their love for those non-Ferrari drivers and spare the rest of us. Lol

The... all hail is for accomplishments that happen in our F-1 sport. The...hell with all the excuses , It's the pit wall fault, it's the tires, it's the weather, it's something personal, and .. it's the other drivers fault; including Kimi, the Ferrari podium king! Ferrari fans talking 2019 , not now, even right after the break; some fans start . No faith in our #1 guy, it's now all about Leclerc 2019. Ferarri fans and the team were hoping for that finger Seb put up when he was the enemy. How quick one forgets. WDC lost! Unforgiveable! We had , have the car! O well , there's 2019 comming up!!

As asinine as it sounds, if it would spare the rest of us from having to constantly hear about how great everyone else not affiliated with Ferrari is, I am completely for a masochistic "All Hail The Competition" thread. I am only interested in Ferrari, Vettel, Raikkonen, Leclerc, and Giovinazzi. Forget the rest unless they take the red.

I agree, it was a joke but I am also tired of hearing about the competitions greatness. I support Red!

Nico won cause Nico drove a better championship than Hamilton. Plain and simple.

Nope, he drove well but not better. Hamilton had mechanical failure in Malaysia, before that it was Hamilton’s Championship to lose. Whole season, Nico zero mechanical DNFs against Hamilton's one, championship decided by 5 points

If you're gonna throw the mechanical failure in Malaysia, you might as well throw in that both of them took each other out with Rosberg leading. It is what it is. Rosberg won the WDC title in 2016 and BEAT Lewis in points.

Both took each other out then obviously no advantage gained by single one in Spain. Hamilton’s one mechanical DNF against Rosberg’s none, and difference was 5 points. It’s simple where Title was decided

I never said Rosberg didn’t deserve title, I said he was lucky

Indeed and the take out was pretty much Rosberg fault just like he tried in Austria as well.

Rosberg was leading the race when they took each other out. All this, including the mechanical failure is...........WHAT IF or COULDA-WOULDA-SHOULDA theories. It is what it is.

When did I mention Coulda Woulda Shoulda?
I stated what actually happened. It’s pretty simple, what’s so complicated?

Lewis was going to pass him as Nico was in the wrong engine mode so he would not have been in the lead even if he never slammed the door and put Lewis onto the grass.

Racing incident and a defensive move.
