Feels Villeneuve posted:Williams would almost certainly have won a race since 2014 if they still had Pastor Maldonado. I am not trolling. He won on merit in the 2012 car which was a far shittier car relative to the grid than any of the Williams-Merc cars. I feel in 2014 they could have taken Monza or Austria if the cards fell the right way.

Feels Villeneuve posted:I wouldn't be surprised if hypothetically you swapped Red Bull and Williams driver pairs, they both score the exact same amount of points and wins, just with different cars. I'd disagree with regards to the 2017 car. It performs pretty poorly on anything other than low DF fast circuits.

It's cool that basically everybody has forgotten about Wehrlein. Including the broadcasters.

Maldonado was not that bad of a driver and none of the cars he ever drove were as good as the FW40.

Sato is like De Cesaris and Maldonado as well, it must be said.

Stroll got a podium in an era where car performance is relatively close and bunch of top runners dropped out. This isn't Johansson dragging an Onyx into 3rd place here. Stroll also looked really, really out of depth on various occasions during the season. Vandoorne, in a vastly inferior car (well, engine) has looked much better to use an example.

I witnessed, firsthand mind you, Stroll barley able to hold off Stoffel at Suzuka. He was visibly struggling to do so.

He's too young and has basically no experience, and was pushed though into the big time because of 1.) His results in junior formulae 2.) Money and 3.) The bad precedent Max Verstappen set.

Ericsson has been getting the better of Pascal on more than one occasion and it's drat hilarious.

I have no opinion on Roberto Mehri. He probably didn't have enough skill to warrant a top drive but then again I don't think he was somebody that brought tons of money.

I'm sure this 33 year old man that failed to get the better of Kazuki Nakajima in a second rate feeder series will set the world on fire.

Mike Thackwell and Esteban Tuero were both teens iirc when they started driving. Both failed, and Thackwell's story was particularly sad.
