Surely if the 91 falls, then 7 will be equaled. If Hamilton wins 8 races, that will probably mean the other 14 races he will achieve 8-10 podiums, so the title will likely come too.

Since 2014 the least amount of races he's won in a season has been 9. (I think)NathanOlder wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 00:01Surely if the 91 falls, then 7 will be equaled. If Hamilton wins 8 races, that will probably mean the other 14 races he will achieve 8-10 podiums, so the title will likely come too.
although, 2020 is the 7th year of this engine and it's getting tighter all the time. Next year could be very, very tight. Tho i suppose one thing is his favour might be that the others will probably share out their wins
It's touch and go. Max didn't blow Ricciardo away, who didn't blow Hulkenberg, who didn't blow Perez, who could barely match Button, who got blown away by Hamilton. Max is more or less within the range of one to two tenths, but not anything outstanding. None of the drivers these days are that outstanding with the level of preparation and sport science these days.
In 2021 with the rule changes like this.. the current competition will be missed sooo muchzeph wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 01:45my $0.02
If the 2021 rules work as intended, records like Schumacher and Hamilton may well become a thing of the past.
If Hamilton is aware of that, it might fuel his motivation to break Schuey’s records, knowing there’s a good chance they will remain in place for a long time.
We have 3 teams fighting for the wins right now! Are people blind?!?! 2nd half of the season has been as good as it gets.
Yet to be proven if Max is the fastest out there unless he races against a non redbull driver. Also he doesn't have the head to fight for championships. Albon, the slower less talented driver is outscoring Max since they have been teammates.
If only being young and fast was enough to win the championships, especially if it is all about equal cars. Young drivers have won championships when they had good pace advantage of the car over their rivals, which allowed them to overcome the terminal mistakes they commit through the season. When cars are equal, it was always the guy who managed the season with less mistakes prevailed and experience teaches how to manage a whole season. The moment a driver is in contention for championship, it adds a truck load of pressure which forces him to make mistakes OR becomes a lot more cautious taking away the edge of the pace.ringo wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 04:06Yet to be proven if Max is the fastest out there unless he races against a non redbull driver.

But regarding Hamilton, he has reached enlightenment in F1, and it will be very difficult for another driver to beat him unless there is a complete overhaul with car design and engine type. 2019 was not his most difficult year because he was not chasing or having to push hard to overcome a competitor. His last difficult season was 2016.
Max is not enough to stop Hamilton. Max will need a car over 7 tenths a lap quicker to beat lewis over a season.
He beat Ricciardo 15-3 in qualifying in 2018 and pulled some monster laps on him, if that's not blowing him away I don't know what is.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 01:42It's touch and go.

How do you compare? They are in two different cars. Unless you want to believe it that way, there is no way to state it. Every driver believes he has margin on other, but that is just hot air until they both drive the same machine.
Just the way he's destroyed his teammates in qualifying. Barring Suzuka where they posted identical times Max has wiped the floor with his teammates in qualifying.
All of this is a feel factor and like I said, what you want to believe. The fact can only be established when they fight in the same car, until then you can hold on to your opinion.Wass85 wrote: ↑04 Nov 2019, 08:05Just the way he's destroyed his teammates in qualifying.

Lewis has admitted himself qualifying is not going great this season, he's lost a step there for whatever reason. Max is also super fast in race trim and I really do think he would be too quick for Lewis at this stage of his career.
