Today he has the 36 on the Alfa Romeo. Dont know wich number will be in the end Every team has its own number for testing/reserve drivers. Giovinazzi drove with the same 36 when he was replacing Wehrlein at Sauber, and Vandoorne used 47 when he replaced Alonso before using 2 as a permanent driver o...
Hill was mediocre at best. The fact he was dropped by Williams despite winning a championship his a clear indictment on his capabilities. So were Mansell, Prost, and Villeneuve. This is more about Williams not wanting to concede on the leverage of champions than lack of talent of any of these drive...
Basically, we went from one of the most unfortunate streaks ever (Montreal and Paul Ricard) to one of the best streaks ever (Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, Hockenheim). Toto might have a point after all.
None of this is new. Look back at F1 history and you'll see big performance gaps between teams and teammates. Small(er) performance gaps is something that really only emerged from the early 2000s. Yes. It was not uncommon to Senna beating Prost in quali by 1 or 2 seconds. And it is unlikely we'll s...
I'm sorry, but I have to remind about something. No driver has ever been pronounced dead on the scene, it only happens once he arrives to the hospital and it's DOA or later. I hope I'm very, very, very wrong. It could go in many ways. Information being hidden to avoid legal problems, or actuall...
Something I've been thinking. It's crazy that Leclerc is quite a melancholic guy (at least this is the impression that strikes me about him) whose trajectory is marked by dear people dying, and his maiden victory comes exactly in a race with grievance all around.
Think this us well-argued: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/49629863. Jolyon's a much better columnist than driver I think this is poorly-argued frankly. Quite cherry-picked also. Leclerc moved to the right while he was braking and forced Hamilton off the road. Hamilton couldn't do anything abou...
Hamilton has been talking about many other things than F1, and obviously it happens because he CAN do that as there isn't a fierce competition against him in Formula 1. You wouldn't see an underperforming driver doing that. But anyone can do whatever it wants provided the privileges one has, even mo...
