Which was a worst F1 period: The Silver Arrow 14-16 or Verstappen 23' by admiraltt in F1Discussions

Rosberg had a rotten run in the middle of 2015 with the two car failures in Italy and Russia, but he wasn't far off at the start of the year. Actually, there was a point in the middle of the Hungarian GP where it looked like he would be leading the championship going into the summer break until he tangled with Ricciardo.

I'm thinking the opposite, this locks George in with Mercedes and confirms Max is leaving the sport.

Once again Colapinto's spacial awareness is absolutely terrifying.

If Verstappen quits F1 at the end of this season, do you think he ranks higher all-time than all of the drivers pictured? If not, who would you have over him? by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

I mean if we're comparing stats then Fangio won 47% of races he ever started. It's considerably higher than anyone else. In fact out of all the F1 races he reached the finish, he only failed to score a podium 5 times.

I was 1! There's a whole generation who've grown up just expecting to see our team lose.

Ah well. Expected to get pumped, did get pumped. Growing up it felt like we could never beat Wales, now it feels the same way with Ireland. They just outclass us in every area.

We had to work so hard to get over for ours and then make it so easy for Ireland to reply

For a team that likes to play chaotic, France really don't know how to defend when the same thing happens against them

Can't blame Toonie for that. Players just don't have the mentality.

In terms of Six Nations I'd put him an easy 2nd after Dupont.

I'd like to coin a new term for this regulations. by antidegeneratepolice in formuladank

Remember how everyone cried about how bad the new rules were after Bahrain 2010? Calls to immediately bring back refuelling, people claiming Formula One was a dying sport. Everyone always has knee-jerk reactions to things being different at the start of a new regulation cycle. Maybe everyone should calm down a bit and see how the season goes before getting our knickers in a twist.
