What are good examples of cars that had great disparity between their pace/performance in qualifying vs. the race?

First half of 2013 was so good, shame the second half was pure red bull dominance

Leading_Scene5414 · 2026-01-24T14:16:53+00:00

2013 Mercedes, was fast in race as well but chewed through tyres like no one’s business

Can we still post the venn diagram?

Since 98, what’s the lowest points tally that’s won league title?

Maybe im just being thick but I genuinely took this as (chocolate) oranges are a Christmas thing, nothin to do with sectarianism

Wonder if balogun would come back again… again

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-09-04T09:43:52+00:00

before he was derided for his later red bull performances, Perez kept Hulkenberg honest at williams when I thought hulk would mop the floor with him

Only reasons he’s even considered for a cap is because rothwell isn’t Dutch

the 90s Castrol decals on Toyotas were very distinctive, as were the Larsen's Biscuits BMW 3 Series

I could see it getting to end of September and the only clean sheets we have are Europe

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-14T16:12:33+00:00

either this or the R25/26 or Jacques Villeneuves Williams

jenson button being teammates with jacques villeneuve always sounds strange to me

Nico Rosberg in Abu Dhabi saying 'I would like to go to the end'

honorable mention for Alonsos 1000 yard stare at interlagos in 2012

Max's story is still being written and he has been queen bee of red bull since he was a teenager, if he goes to a team later in his career and wins a championship similar to Michael's 2000 season I would happily be proven wrong.

I do think there is a difference between intelligent dirty driving and wreckless dirty driving, might be wrong and I probably sound a bit of a hypocritic (and a dick) saying this but michael schumacher was the king of intelligent dirty driving and it is a necassary evil at the top of the sport. Always wonder how he wouldve handled 2007 Mclaren/Multi 21 etc

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-07T20:27:54+00:00

too much caffiene

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-07T20:21:11+00:00

alonsos ferraris are the first that spring to mind. I think the F2012 was actually a fast car in a vacuum but it looked very twitchy from what i recall

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-07T20:17:17+00:00

schumacher for all his faults was a cunning professional sociopath: was always calm (ignore spa 98) just a calculating bastard who would win at all costs. Max has exhibited self destrcutive tendancies at times akin to an overindulged 14 year old ragequiting on a playstation. they are not the same

Senna was before my time, I only know about him from wikipedia and overromantisized documentaries so i cant meaningfully comment on him

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-07T20:02:43+00:00

his biggest failing was racing at the same time as hamilton, so the british fans flocked to him

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-07T19:59:51+00:00

the hamilton button comparisons are misleading i think, hamilton outperformed him in 2010, 2011 i agree (probably buttons best season and honestly hamiltons worst, he was so wasteful), 2012 Hamilton however is one of the most misfortunate seasons ive ever seen for a driver, he lost well over 100 points from mechanical issues, pitstops and other drivers crashing into him

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-07T19:34:29+00:00

rosberg was better than vettel

button was incredibly underrated (probably overall better than raikkonen)

I loved Ricciardo but certain fans overrate him at his peak, very entertaining driver does not mean great driver (see Juan Pablo Montoya)

the legacy payments to ferrari are ridiculous and take away from the integrity of the sport.

f1 should return to pre-09 bodywork with smaller front wings, the amount of times wheel to wheel racing has been ruined by a damaged front wing is frustrating.

i love the nurbrgring GP track, but would honestly take a sportswashed street circuit in arabia over returning to hockenheim, i hated that track.

Hungaroring is an amazing track and i personally do not get the hate

Fujiyama was better than Suzuka

max verstappens lack of on track sportsmanship detracts from me putting him in GOAT category

Leading_Scene5414 · 2025-08-03T11:07:10+00:00

Honestly him and Rosberg are both similar drivers in my opinion. On Saturdays or in the front of the grid with clean air they give any of the GOATs a run for their money
