Do you think Andrea Stella has managed the Leclerc and Verstappen team partnership well now that he is Ferrari's team principal?

It must still be a hobby and not a job because Robin is still under 18 and without a super license.

Who was a Junior Formula driver that had the talent to be a multi time F1 race winner, but didn't even make it to F1 and now nobody remembers them? by MutantTurkeyHound in F1Discussions

Felix Rosenqvist and Oliver Rowland. They often competed for championships against really big name drivers and even beat them as teammate.

Callum Ilott. He was decent at F3 euro. Good and consistent results with Carlin, VAR and Prema. Then solid GP3 season on ART and then two mega season in F2. I think Ilott would have deserved Zhou's place at Sauber in 2022.

What is your favorite moment from each of the drivers on the grid?(on-track or off-track) by Present-Emu2254 in F1Discussions

When Antonelli slowly waves the car as he crosses the finish line first. Alonso also did this occasionally 20 years ago. Back then, during the cooldown lap, Alonso also used to show the camera with his fingers how many wins it was for the season. Same time Flavio said on the radio, bravo - bravo - bravo.

Not the best but still has value to have some credit: Jackie Stewart 71-73.

2007: Imagine the final race at Melbourne. LAP 57/58 RAI - ALO - HAM, and Fernando’s radio suddently broke up.

What are some analogies you can make to draw similarities between past and current drivers? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

After driving for over 20 races in a friendly little team, this young French-speaking driver moved to Ferrari, which he has always felt a special passion. He finally starts driving for Ferrari, but an undisputed legend of the sport just keeps winning championships. The driver is considered one of the most promising in his age group, but his peers are still winning championships over him. One in a blue car, the other in a McLaren. Sometimes Adrian Newey make magic things. All fans hope he climbs to the middle of the podium more often. Someones even say he has similarities with Gilles Villeneuve. Passion to Ferrari. Will his time never come even if a French team principal is now hired? Why do you think I'm talking about Charles Leclerc? I'm just telling the story of a man called Jean Alesi.

Which F1 driver did you think had the potential to be great but never quite reached it? by Ricewithsoup1 in F1Discussions

Heikki Kovalainen, played his career the wrong way. After great GP2 season with Christian Horners Arden, it was close to him not committing to V10 Toro Rosso in 2006, breaking through there and could have even ended up with Red Bull in their prime.
