That article dismissing Button as unlikely since he wants a break from F1 seems a bit presumptuous since I don't know how many drivers could pass up a super legit shot at a WDC. Maybe Button just needs a break from driving a dogshit rear end car to a DNF half the time.

I have the oddest feeling it is going to be not-max you know. Horner has been banging on about Pierre Gasly coming in to the next available seat again today. Which would be good because we need someone new to hate on, and whiirline in interviews has always come across as quite likeable and funny.

Alternative opinion though, you and the rest of the "gosh well he did his damndest yadda yadda classy yadda yadda" can go and paddle in the mediocre pool with Rosberg. WINNERS don't give out their respect easily. Hamilton, Alonso, Senna, Schumacher. In fact Schumacher is the only one who used to say "yeah wow he's a great driver very impressive" to his poo poo teammate (Rubens) and he couldn't keep the smirk off his face so why are you're acting like this is noteworthy is beyond me.

Interesting to hear Are Ted (Founder of Exeter MotoSoc) thinking my thoughts about Rosberg refusing to comment on his number for 2017. That was the first sign that he wasn't going to be around so doesn't give a poo poo about being number 1 or number 6.

Remember when you were 10 years old, and your best friend / older brother beat you 18 times in a row at tekken? Remember winning once, then throwing down the controller and lauding the victory, and not playing the brother / friend again? Nico Rosberg everybody!

Michael couldn't set a car up for poo poo and relied on drivers like Rubens and Irvine along with the engineers to come up with setups that were race-winners (as is widely documented) and then on team orders and his contract to make sure he won (as we watched for so many years). gently caress, it was Massa that made him realise he couldn't compete anymore. ETA: him blaming Bruno Senna for their accident in Spain was a loving joke. Old man can't hack it anymore in the days when driving your opponent into the loving pit wall is no bueno.

Alain Post posted:The "Benetton was illegal" talk is from jealous British journalists. And Brazilians and Italians and Germans and etc etc etc. It's reductive and I shouldn't have brought it up. But the fact remains that during the Ferrari days, it is well documented Schumi was a driver. The same things were said about Mika Hakkinen - a duff development driver but if you had a halfway decent car he'd work miracles with it. To my mind, Schumi's success was doing what no team has done since, which is building a dream team around him with Brawn, Todt, Clear et al. Ferrari of today need to pay attention and quit with this loving everybody is Italian bullshit that has seen them be junk since 2008.

Upon further review I have concluded that the Benetton must have relied on Verstappen, Lehto, and Johnny Herbert to set up the car. That's probably why it was so difficult to drive.
