Whats all the hamilton Alonso love in f1 theses days?? lewis has been slower than nico most of the year its all vettal & raikkonen for me:tup:
Hmmm
I started out really disliking Alonso after his behaviour at McLaren. But you have to recognise hes is just plain fast, full stop. He always gets the absolute maximum available from the car, and he was clearly the best driver in F1 last year.
Hamiltons 1 lap pace has been incredible this year (as it has in every season hes been in F1) in 10 races hes had 4 poles and 2 other front rows giving him the lowest aggregate qualifying ranking in F1. In the races hes been consistent with an inconsistent car and hes ground out results when its not at its best. He deserved the win at Silverstone and even without that is well ahead of Nicco in the Championship. Personally, I think Lewis has clearly demonstrated hes a level above Nicco.
Lets see how Vettel does when he doesnt have the fastest car on the grid, then we might be able to see how good he really is. I really like Raikkonens irreverence, and hes shown hes fast in the past, but his performances this year come in a car that seems to be able to manage its tyres well rather than from Kimmis outright pace.
Loeb is in a class of one, and IMO, the best outright driver in the World. I remember when he 1st moved to the WRC from the French Tramac Championship and was immediately super quick on tarmac, but rubbish on gravel
I said on another forum at the time that I thought Markko Martin would win a Championship before Loeb won a gravel rally
then Loeb just obliterated everyone, every year, by miles on every surface.
If any of you guys who have reached the finals this year have 10% of thier abilities you'll probably be able to have quite a nice career in Motorsport
At the end of the day there's no way of distinguishing between any of the top drivers unless they are in the same car.
congrats on making the cut this year. I missed the last 2 years as well.
! Looks like we may be first up territory wise!
