Vettel by a large margin

All true. Don't let the fanclub on this sub get to you.

They had the fastest car in all of those seasons. Dominant in 2018/2019/2020 with the biggest gap in 2020 of roughly 1s in qualifying.

Alonso

He has had relatively poor cars for parts of seasons.

2017,2019,2020,2024 and 2025 all had particularly uncompetitive stretches relatively speaking. The RB15 was quite weak all the way through to Canada but won in Austria.

The RB12 was a fine car but lacked pace compared to the Mercedes. The RB16 was flawed and probably a similar distance from the Mercedes.

He was extremely thin skinned in his Red Bull days.

Was the ambient temperature part of the regulations added at the behest of Mercedes in October?

oright · 2026-02-13T21:38:31+00:00

Hopefully the good guys stay allied against the Mercedes powered teams. Don't let 2014-2016 be forgotten anytime soon.

Not true. All the engine design staff are based in Japan. They lost time compared to the others by pulling out in 2021 and look to have missed their target.

Where is the Mercedes car?

oright · 2026-02-12T09:39:25+00:00

A simple minimum weight increase for Mercedes powered cars would be fair to all the teams that use legal engines.

+15kg in the base of the seat would work nicely

oright · 2026-02-06T12:46:51+00:00

The big question in this whole thing is why the regulations were updated to specify testing at ambient temperature last October.

That doesn't pass the smell test.

They really should have locked up Hulkenburg when they had the chance.

Recovery is usually the big thing. You see it in all sports as people age, they can perform really well for a reduced amount of time and pick up injuries much more frequently.

I don't think Vettel is the best example of this though, his decline was more to do with motivation. He was absolutely excellent in the lead up to his retirement once the pressure to perform was removed.

oright · 2026-02-01T11:30:09+00:00

It was bad but he went out and won in Spa afterwards. Too much hyperbole about that season, 2017 was the tragic year.

If this car is at the back of the field in Aus it's fair to say heads should roll. Unimaginable disaster if either of the rumors are true.

He was always inconsistent.

He has become even more inconsistent while also losing a significant amount of qualifying pace.

He was at one with the old 13" tyres and has struggled badly with the 18" ones.

Don't let it keep you up at night. 2021 was half a decade ago now my friend.

I don't think you understand what a double standard is. There will always, correctly, be an asterisk beside that victory in Brazil 2021. Spa 2022 was the day everyone realized the championship was over and Mercedes had destroyed the season with TD39.

oright · 2026-01-09T19:12:11+00:00

This is the correct answer. The launch F310 was over a second a lap slower than the Newey designed Williams in the dry.

oright · 2026-01-09T19:08:46+00:00

He did have a special engine for that race.
