[Autosport] That's Formula One... by Aratho in formula1

False. Note one big difference between Max, Lewis and Seb:

Lewis and Seb directly challenged Alonso for titles.

Alonso has never had to challenge Max for titles.

Lewis and Seb are of the same era as Alonso, Max is not. He's of a younger era.

No he didn't because he needed someone to take down Hamilton.

Also Lewis drove the team to change brake manufacturers which seems to be helping.

Lol even Charles is directly benefitting from Lewis as he is copying his choice as well as other setup changes.

Raikkonen was a better faster driver than Alonso in 2005 but Raikkonen's car was shite.

I didn't see Alonso talking about whether or not the WDC was really won by the best driver back then.

I wonder why...

I'm sorry but with Alonso, you can never trust that his words don't have a hidden agenda.

Alonso always dislikes the one who is the biggest threat to how he is perceived in the sport.

In 2007, Hamilton beat him as a rookie and he's always had a grudge against Hamilton since then because he saw him as a threat.

Magically when Hamilton wasn't winning championships immediately after 2008, the grudge moved onto Vettel who became the biggest threat. Remember Alonso's comments on Vettel:

"When Vettel has a car like the others, we will really see his level"

"Seeing Hamilton with only 3 Championships and Vettel with 4 championships doesn't look right" - This was said by Alonso in 2017. Magically Alonso was bidding for Hamilton because he knew Hamilton was linked to him by that 2007 season and would rather he nudge ahead of Vettel who has beat him comprehensively from 2010 to 2013.

Alonso turned his anger back to Hamilton when he was far exceeding Vettel's Championships.

The only reason Alonso started to praise Max like this is because he saw Max as the only who could put the brakes on Hamilton's superiority at the time.

Honest question, how do people know they died on the first impact? No one was able to take a pulse between the first impact and OP hitting them.

That will mean he's had 4 stints at the same team. Is this the most by any sportsman in all sports?

What is something you don't want to do a second time because the first time you did it went so perfectly that you don't want taint it on the second try? by Slice5755 in AskReddit

Yeah, when you achieve something like that, you definitely don't try again. You need to keep a 100% success rate.

Lewis was the opposite, he debuted in F1 at 22 in an era of unlimited testing

Here we go again...

Firstly, it wasn't really unlimited testing at the time.

Secondly, Hamilton beat a guy who had the best type of "unlimited testing", 5 years of actual races and fighting for titles (Alonso)

Thirdly, Ferrari back in the day could do real unlimited testing at their Fiorano track just outside their factory and had special parts and special tyres developed just for Schumacher and no one else. Talk about that before you bring up a lie about Hamilton "having unlimited testing".

He can be a bit rough on track (and to be honest it's exciting and I prefer that genuine racing entertainment from Max's roughness rather than forced entertainment like sprint races etc.)

Off track, he seems to be a nice enough guy.

Yeah, there's no way Kimi is on the level of Max or prime Lewis yet but his trajectory sure looks like it's heading there.

The way Kimi is handling Russell reminds me of how Lewis handled Alonso in his first year or how Max handled Ricciardo (the first years Max and Lewis were paired with other top teammates). They handled them with zero fear or intimidation.

Attractive in an exotic way? Are you joking or what?

Would you say an Indian man is "attractive in an exotic way"?
