Raikkonen really is bobbins these days.

Vettel seething his tits off.
Literally everything about that was glorious, as will his tantrum when he gets penalised.
I don't think they've mentioned it, didn't look as bad second time but I would enjoy the teutonic seethe.
It wasn't a hanging and flogging incident, just shit driving from him and it cost him dear.
Hamilton's fucked.
That was the turn one shenanigans, I'm talking about him passing Massa off the track and then whining about it.
Alright, Hamilton. I dare you not to mention Senna in your post-race press conference.
Fuck off, Neymar.
Don't worry, Brundle did it for him. One day I'd love to see a flag disappear into the engine.
'Who is the most talented driver of the so called greats?', asks the BBC website, offering a multiple choice between 'Jim Clark' and different versions of 'I haven't heard of Jim Clark'. Thus far it's not looking good for Jim Clark.
1 Clark
2 Senna
3 Fangio
4 Moss
5 Prost
6 Schumacher
7 Stewart
8 Lauda
9 Piquet/Hamilton
10 the rest
I don't know who Jim Clark is but I'll say Jim Clark.
Stirling Moss should probably have realised he was cursed when that mad French tosser cost him a Le Mans by ramming his car into the punters. He was like the anti-Graham Hill.
Here's a shocker: Stirling Moss is not even 90 yet.
Trying to compare people like Moss with today's drivers is ridiculous. I'd say you're even pushing it when comparing drivers from the 70s and 80s. It's just a totally different sport thesedays.
And you can meet him for a free if you spend a million quid on a bomb-on-wheels magnesium Lister.
Jim Clark could have made a shopping trolley qualify on on pole. He was another species tbh. Hamilton isn't even top 10. Fuck him and the cheating Mercs.
I might consider that if they paint a Newcastle livery on it like a 2000 Lister Storm.
Clark, Fangio, Senna, and Villeneuve. Then the rest.
Sato and Montoya >>>>> Verstappen (Jos) >> Ricciardo >>> Penis > The rest.
I'm not sure about Gilles. He was almost too mental.
I view 1992 as Year Zero for modern F1, or whenever the first great Newey car was. If you drove before that, you had a much harder job.
It's why Schumachers records look unbeatable but will most likely be eclipsed, he was just the first top guy to have his whole career in the period where you weren't going to a funeral every Tuesday. It's also worth distinguishing between who was best at actually driving cars and who was the best 'driver', for example Alonso is a good example of someone who can drive anything faster than almost anyone else of his generation but can't make a good decision out of the car to save his life.
Yeah, Hamilton complains a lot but usually pits when Pat Bonnington tells him.
Hamilton's decision to move from McLaren to Mercedes at that point surely one of the great F1 career moves of all time, mainly because it didn't seem obvious at the time.
I remember thinking he was daft at the time.
It'll be interesting to see who gets to number 5 first, between him and Vettel.
My mate, who is well into this, said something like "He won't be competitive the first year, but after that they'll blow everyone else away". Not sure how he knew that, but I imagine he wasn't the only one.
It was a gamble on Mercedes building the best engine. Not a certainty but their engine had been better first (if that makes sense) in the current formula and the new one put so much emphasis on the engine that it made sense to be with a manufacturer. Plus he'd already been through at least one year of McLaren failing to deliver a car good enough to win titles and he'd just watched the guy who shaped his career get sidelined. It was a surprise move but there were plenty of reasons to make it.
Wasn't the main one not having to make adverts and hang around with Jenson Button?
I'd always thought it was a combination of Ron Dennis and the pussycat doll exiting stage left at about the same time. There was one season (2011 I think) at Macca where he was dreadful and it kind of went from there. Add in the fact that Merc had Ross Brawn (a title winner with 4 teams, really) and Paddy Lowe and it would have made sense.
I also remember some story about Niki Lauda shoving notes under his hotel room door, although that could also have been a fever dream.
Was that the season he seemed to keep colliding with Massa for the lols?
He dragged some performances out of them, to be fair.
Those few corners they had in Mexico battling for 9th were the best thing about the race. Just visibly brilliant driving by both of them.
If I could halt the sport at 2007, I would. Literally hold Bernie at gunpoint and hold time and the sport itself hostage. And Super Agurri would still be alive.

Yeah sure m8.
One wonders what direction he think Ferrari is taking the sport with shit like Ferrariland or whatever it is called.
The Prancing Horse International Race Series.
I have a grudge against Marchionne, because he looks like he's going to fire Arrivabene, and if Arrivabene's hair leaves the paddock I fear the cosmos may be unsettled.
lol at words like 'standardisation' even coming up.
Willy waving. All so they can kick up a fuss when their 'historic bonus' gets taken away and they need an excuse that doesn't make them look like complete cunts. Also, Arrivabene is absolutely getting fired, sorry Jim.
RIP the worst hair in sport, luv u 4 eva x
I'd dispute that title.

Can I interest you in a surrogate? One that actually smiles occasionally.
Luke Gale has the worst hair in sport because he won't accept baldness.
Reminds me of a thread I was going to make, Best Bald XI. Automatic selection for combovers.
I don't think there's ever been a good bald driver. Fangio was kind of receding.
