So no talk about verstappen matching Senna in wins?

For Verstappen's generation Senna is as relevant as Ascari is for Senna's generation. Not many active drivers left that have seen Senna race.

On the other hand, modern reliability and inflated calendar make win statistics uncomparable.

that's why the percentage means more for statistics, just by that Ascari, Fangio and Clark are still the reigning kings of F1

if it was a top driver in that Aston we couldn't see moments like that haha

funny that Bottas took him off 2nd place finish in Baku/2017 on the line either, so is sort of a payback

Useless stat I just read: 2014 was the last time McLaren scored points in Canada. Since they didn´t score points this time after that penalty, next year it will be 10 years since their last points.

I know McLaren have had some bad years, but they also had better years so it was a surprising stat.

Alonso really has turned into a master politician lol He really does know how to make his stock appear even greater than it is e.g. 70 qualifying laps eh Nando? Even while lifting and coasting? :lol:

Covid issues kept Canadian GP out of the calendar just when McLaren had their best years in last decade.

If the race had been scheduled for yesterday it would likely have been cancelled, or at the least run without fans.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.
