On 29 December 2013, Schumacher was skiing with his then-14-year-old son Mick, descending the Combe de Saulire below the Dent de Burgin above Méribel in the French Alps. While crossing an unsecured off-piste area between Piste Chamois and Piste Mauduit,[223][224] he fell and hit his head on a rock, sustaining a serious head injury despite wearing a ski helmet. According to his physicians, he would most likely have died had he not been wearing a helmet.[225] He was airlifted to Grenoble Hospital where he underwent two surgical interventions.[226] Schumacher was put into a medically induced coma because of traumatic brain injury.[227][228]

i went and copied the whole thing from wikipedia as a joke but also learned that Mick was with him when it happened, lmao jesus

Do Mick’s various Teutonic sponsorships like the Aldi deal they showed off on DtS stack up to whatever funding Latifi’s dad throws Williams?

So maybe Gasly->Alpine so they have two French drivers at the French team and then Red Bull asks the FIA to throw them a bone and grant Herta permission to skip a grade and get right into an F1 seat to compete for the chance to be Max’s next #2.

That's what this site tries to do. Uses statistical analysis to compare drivers. Looks at driver parings to compare drivers who never teamed by seeing who they did out perform. Factors in changes in formula and race frequency etc etc. Not flawless but quite interesting reading (if that sorta thing flicks your switch)

This is an excellent site if you want to see a bunch of insanely detailed and moronic formulas to determine that Daniel Riccardo is a better driver than both Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna

Williams makes sense for Riccardo if the noise they are making about not needing pay drivers anymore and being a midfield team next year is accurate

The used to be a rule that drivers in F1 have to store the tear-offs in the cockpit. Was never enforced, though.

To be fair before 1980 or so you not only had to be a top quality driver with 1 in a million reflexes but you had to be mentally Ill with a death wish to race F1. Presumably that put a filter on recruiting top talent to the sport and might have selected for a different set of traits than "go fast".

Bip Roberts

The converse is a lot of todays top drivers would straight up "hell no" themselves out of the sport back in the day and would be truely inferior against the competition.
