In actual Formula 1 its for me, 75/80% car 25/20% driver. And this went from the ninety.

For that Fangio its the GOAT for all the history, when he drives are, 40% car and 60% driver.

After saying this Hamilton its one of the best drivers in history, nobody can deny that, his rookie season its amazing.

For me the best driver of the new generation are: Leclerc Russel and Norris. And yes i dont put MV for me its an excelent driver but dont have the mature




So even Senna was not a so good driver since at the time of Senna-Prost the McLarens were 1/1.5 sec for lap faster than the other cars.

This is always been F1, the best cast often will have one of the best drivers. Always happened.
Ayrton Senna was certainly a great racer.  Many F1 fans consider him the best driver in the history of these races.  And his death on the track has become literally a legend. 
And now I consider Hamilton also almost an F1 legend for his many victories and excellent results.  And he has not finished his career yet, he can still surprise the fans.

Some highlights of what some of the F1 cars have behind their new looks during the season opener:
.......
Of course, the partnership with Qualcomm is interesting.
  However, I don't quite understand how F1 racing can promote these high tech processors and other chips from this glorious company??? 
Do they have a lot of extra money???
At the same time, the entire world of automakers is suffering from a shortage of chips. Smiley

Mercedes claims to have seen problems due to rear wing settings.  Therefore, they are preparing some changes in the design of the wing for the races in Melbourne and competitions at the next stages.  They solve the problem of optimizing downforce for better wheel grip.  But the track coverage can be quite different.  So it is not known how they will succeed or not succeed.Huh

Never been a real follower, but couldn't have avoided Schumacher in my time, but I recently understood as well how important this seems to be the case now, and why some drivers (hint hint) never wanted to leave for a better challenge, knowing they'd immediately inherit slightly less incredible machines.

And I hope I don't step on toes but that's also what's happening to Lewie now isn't it? Now that Mercedes isn't doing so great, neither is he. Anyone think this is temporary or a blip?

Again, my Schumacher lore is suspect but he once said something about driving in the best car that winning is the only option anything else is losing.

I really think Mercedes improving its turning the corner.
We dont see so many progress in Arabia because it was only one week between the first and the second race, so i dont know if the workers in United Kingdom send upgrades to the part of the team deployed.

I dont know if in Australia we can see some improvement for the same i think they keep collecting data. But for the next GP after Australia i see a big improvement, dont know if can be to win a race but surely to cut the gap.
I am 100% sure that Mercedes will find a way to get better, but how long will it take? Both Mercedes and Mclaren are doing bad right now with basically the same engine, Williams is not even a discussion right now. This shows that engine could probably be one of the problems.

I got that proposing or whatever that jumping up and down and losing downforce thing is called was the main reason people claimed why Mercedes is doing worse, but by the looks of it engine is not great neither with the car. Hopefully they will find a way to get better and try to be closer to Ferrari and red bull to make it a fun season, if not then at least I hope some other team goes to that third spot and give it all.

They said "its not a engine related problem, its more a drag problem in the top speed".

But for me Mercedes was in a way more conservative for the Engine.
Lets me explain this. Mercedes in his innovative design dont have the same air flow of other to refresh his engine, so for me they are capping the engine like 5%.

They have this handicap but in his favour they are testing and in the next race for me they come with full power after know they cant have reliatibiti issues (Like Red Bull have in the first race).

Before i said i dont know when they can improve, for me if not in australia, can be in Imola when the team in UK can deploy new parts with all the data collect.
If this pass , i think in round 6 or 7 Mercedes can fight for a win, If not i think they can be struggling all the season.

I think that it is incorrect to compare the achievements of athletes of the past with the current state of affairs. Now the competition is much higher than before in all sports and I am sure that any of the best football players, hockey players, basketball players, etc. past in modern conditions will be no stronger than the average athlete.
As far as the importance of the car, I think there is some limit (I don't know exactly where it is) where craftsmanship doesn't matter at all. Comparing the skill of drivers is possible only when the cars are at about the same level and allow real competition to happen.

Interestingly Hamilton had the audacity to say "I am doing the maximum I can do out there, I am not sure about the team" or something like that. All the fanbase hatred aside, Russell seems to be doing fine, he is constantly right behind those 4 drivers

Imho this kinda tells in the past years, with sooo many victories, how much it was the merit of the car and how much it was the driver.
(Although Russell did show that already when Hamilton had COVID).

Leclerc deserved the victory but a safety car first and a Yellow flag later during his overtake attempt denied him the 1st position.

Let's hope these cars will improve at the same paste, it will be an awesome year, waiting for the Mercedes.
Saw the Tweets about it come out just as I posted that yesterday, yeah... And then the 2 yellows late on but investigations very quickly cleared anyone of wrongdoing.

But probably better than anything else, the guy didn't even complain a single bit -- absolutely racking up my opinion of him.

(I'm still crossing fingers for a surprise podium finish from AT but the way the first 2 races are going, think Ferrari will flex all the way). Australian magic?
Lol, I love the shade at Hamilton (hopefully I got it right) with complaining. Interestingly Hamilton had the audacity to say "I am doing the maximum I can do out there, I am not sure about the team" or something like that. All the fanbase hatred aside, Russell seems to be doing fine, he is constantly right behind those 4 drivers, and I believe that he will keep on racking points every week hoping that Ferrari and red bull keep on fighting and taking each other out time to time.

If there are enough retired races from both teams, George could find himself a fourth or even a third position this year, depending on the reliability of other teams of course. And this is considering how the teams are right now, if Mercedes gets better, then he definitely has a chance.

Leclerc would have won the race without Albon's yellow flag. Without the yellow flag, Leclerc Verstappen would probably have passed Sainz on the perez. It came out in such a place that the yellow flag verstappen could easily pass in 3 rounds. But he was able to chase one lap because of the yellow flag. Verstappen and leclerc clash gives f1 a different pleasure. It will arguably be the most contentious of recent seasons.

The next races will be obviously more enjoyable than last season. This season is very intriguing and fun. I think the old and fun F1 is back.

Well, we could also say that Checo actually deserved the victory, getting safety car just after he changed tyres.
But "what could have happened" means nothing; if there wouldn't have been yellow flags at the end Charles may or may not have passed Max and Max may or may not have passed him again.
The only clear thing about that yellow flag was that it denied from us a bit more show.


The Saudi Arabia GP was the most competitive race I have watched in recent years. We watched a really great race for the lead. If the Abu Dhabi GP last season wasn't a critical race for the championship, I would say that this race was even better than that. Unless Mercedes engineers make a big surprise, we will be seeing the Leclerc - Verstappen rivalry very often this year.

Completely agreed.
There was already a little teasing about this one week ago, but this race was much better and I have high hopes that the season will continue at least as spectacular as until now.

^Hell yeah, Verstappen left it late but he did it. Not particularly happy because he won, just because he was my pick in the pool. LeClerc clearly disappointed but really gracious in saying today's street race was exactly how it should always be -- also had the fastest lap late on but wasn't enough to win.

Can't really recall my other picks but am afraid I will pay the price for thinking Ferrari wouldn't be as successful today. Lewie's had to settle for a single point...

The problem is created by the new cars.
These cars have less space between them and the road so with high kerbs if a jump comes, the cars will lose the vacuum and they will lose their grip.
Expecting a lot of that type of error during this season.

You're probably right and it's too dangerous only for the current generation of F1 cars, but that doesn't help much, at least not the drivers.

Also about the new route of the airflow, did anybody else notice that Ferrari seems to be using a rather flexible floor/airflow system, somewhat like the hovercrafts have (at a way different level/size, clearly, but still for keeping the air go where they want it to)?



I remember we had a "do not talk politics on this topic" argument here. Today we are talking about how there was literally a bombing near the track, literally just 7 miles away from the track, and the race will continue. I do not make any sense of this, I mean we are talking about bombing right near where the track was and the next thing that will be done would be keeping the drivers racing? How do we know there won't be a bombing during the race as well?

Anyway, I wouldn't want to turn this place to any politics, so all I will say is that Vettel already races with a horrible team this year, so its not like he is missing too much to begin with, it's fine for him to miss getting zero points anyway.

I guess that money talks and those people are tied to various contracts, since it's clearly a security concern there.
Also, as said, the track is more dangerous than usual for the current generation of cars.
And I agree, the Aston Martin cars seem to be again a failure this year.
Seb did make a great choice to stay at home and there are rumors it was not because of COVID, it was more a protest against how the things go in that country.
