It was written in the stars, or rather the rumourmill, and today, Renault F1 has confirmed that Fernando Alonso will return to the team with which he won his two F1 World Championships with.
Multi WDC Nico Rosberg would probably still be in the sport.raymondu999 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 12:55Vettel may be not as good a driver as Hamilton in certain aspects - but if he was in the Merc team driving those cars, he would also have done less mistakes and had a better run than he did. Would that “run” be equal, or better, or worse than Lewis’s?
It is also possible that in a fair fight and despite his age he simply beat HAM that is not used anymore to have a good driver in front.Wass85 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 19:38Wouldn't it be good for the sport, you must admit you're bored to death of the Bottas partnership?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 18:54If the weaknesses are real:Wass85 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 17:49Alonso basically begging for a drive at Mercedes, wanting to exploit Hamilton's weaknesses.

Of course, Alonso had one go at it back when Hamilton was still a starry-eyed rookie finding his way in the big bad world of F1. And Hamilton showed Alonso his own weakness.He said: “It would be nice to compete against him in a proper fight. Maybe his weak points are not real and everything is calculated but it would be nice to discover.
Him beating Alonso again would be about equal to another title.
If I was Hamilton I'd grab the 7th and then have a word with Mercedes to sign up Alonso for 2021.
Fully agree with that, it's certainly in Hamilton's best interests if the partnership stays as it is.Jambier wrote: ↑29 Jan 2020, 16:02It is also possible that in a fair fight and despite his age he simply beat HAM that is not used anymore to have a good driver in front.Wass85 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 19:38Wouldn't it be good for the sport, you must admit you're bored to death of the Bottas partnership?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 18:54

HAM have everything to lose here. People think he is the best driver of the world, so the current situation is the best for him

Basically saying the car was that good Rosberg would now have Schumacher's records in sight.Manoah2u wrote: ↑29 Jan 2020, 23:39what has that claim to do with the quote above ?TAG wrote: ↑29 Jan 2020, 15:50Multi WDC Nico Rosberg would probably still be in the sport.raymondu999 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 12:55Vettel may be not as good a driver as Hamilton in certain aspects - but if he was in the Merc team driving those cars, he would also have done less mistakes and had a better run than he did.

No, saying that Rosberg was better than Vettel.
Nar, just isn't true.
I agree with the original statement, it was because Rosberg is better then Vettel
Not really. Rosberg faced two of the best drivers in history, in equal machinery, and faired very well against one and came consistently close to the other.
"Faired very well" is an understatement. He beat Michael 3:0 over their seasons together.
He raced against them but not in the same car, that's the point.
I see. The subjective dick measuring of favorite drivers, no matter what car, has always made my teeth itch.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑31 Jan 2020, 10:56He raced against them but not in the same car, that's the point.
i am with you on the measuring thing, but there is a difference between comparing two drivers in different cars, which is utter BS, and comparing two drivers in similar cars ....Zynerji wrote: ↑31 Jan 2020, 15:49I see.
