Retiring right after beating somebody for the first time in 18 years of racing together is the ultimate bitch move IMO.

I looked on djitsjustsquire's Twitter to see if he was planning on making a dramatic comeback in a Merc but his feed is a depressing wasteland https://twitter.com/AlguersuariJA/status/795968192455708672

Wow fantastic Nico, I think he's just gifted us the best F1 off season for drama, Lewis thought he had the measure of him now he will have someone new... please be Alonso that would be hilarious

Mad max might be a dangerous idiot, but maybe that's what we need to make F1 watchable. A full season of Verstappen, Hamilton, and vettel butting heads for an entire season, none willing to give an inch would be legendary.

The BBC have a run down of the likely candidates: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/38185491 They reckon the most likely is Bottas, but even then there's the fact that Williams will want an experienced driver to partner the rookie they have coming on board.

Bottas would be as boring as eating plain oatmeal while watching paint dry. If Bernie has any influence left a rematch of Alonso and Hamilton would be a huge boost to viewership.

No, he's a hair unhinged. He's still an invincible teenager. Hell, he hit hulkenburg and spun in the first corner in the last race. That said, he one-stopped, and where everybody said the supersofts would last ~13 laps, he went 23. If Anybody else one-stopped, they would have won that race. There is genuine skill there. We haven't heard from Lauda yet, he probably hasn't stopped swearing long enough to give a reporter a coherent quote.

That season was hugely political for both sides, I'm not a big fan of the British bias but I think it's fair to say both teams pulled tricks with the rules that year and Brundle being British had a negligible effect on the championship.

Ultimately Senna won that battle though: Few years ago McLaren did a "which McLaren driver are you" quiz, Brundle got Senna, and rather snappily pointed out on twitter that he was a former McLaren driver himself.

Yeah, but logic would suggest at some point, in even cars, the 'faster" car would pass the one going slowly. Especially if the "faster" car would be the one to benefit from a collision.

Lewis may be talented but gently caress he's a classless oval office. Knowing in your own mind that you're the better driver is fine. Belittling someone else's achievement, someone who's worked hard for 20+ years for his moment just because you happened to have a bad year / some bad luck is a loving cunty thing to do. Just wish the guy well and go out and prove you're the best instead of constantly reminding everyone you are. oval office.

Powershift posted:No, he's a hair unhinged. He's still an invincible teenager. Hell, he hit hulkenburg and spun in the first corner in the last race. But then his response in the pen after the race was that of contrition, he knew he'd made a mistake and whilst not outright admitting it, his words were basically equivalent to "I did something Hulkenberg couldn't possibly have expected or seen." I get that he's not had a massive incident because other drivers have made allowances for him and it's a totally valid argument. But counter to that you could argue that if he knows people are going to dive out of his way, then play up to it and get past. The drive that springs to mind is Monaco last year up where he was sneaking through blue flags until he outbraked himself at Eau Rivage, which admittedly was a textbook rookie error. The fact Rosberg made such a big deal of having to pass Verstappen in Abu Dhabi is, to my mind at least, testament to how good the boy is. Even the old heads don't want to 1v1 him on Rust. 1500quidporsche posted:Ya brundle does but EJ said he had to spend the first half of the season convincing Brundle that it was actually possible to beat Senna and as soon as he did everything turned on its head.

I did watch it, it's bloody good. But then I thought Senna was a bloody good documentary, but totally biased against Prost. I get what you're saying, but it's EJ. The guy is and always has been full of poo poo. Brundle is about the only F1 pundit I actually respect because he is level headed and more often than not drat right. I trust his judgment as a race in retrospect of that season. If anything, that documentary made me sad that McLaren were total dogshit when he joined them.

Incidentally if you do casually run into 1986 Osella driver Allen Berg do not ask him in a joking tone "What was it like being lapped by Prost?" he will not find it funny.
