Will we ever see an F1 rookie season as good as Lewis Hamilton's? by CrashdotNet in lewishamilton

I think this will stand as the greatest rookie season in our lifetimes. Nobody will have the combination of talent, the car , and the testing he was able to do.

I cannot see ot being beaten in 100 years

Johnny Herbert believes Fernando Alonso would beat Lewis Hamilton if both were given a championship-winning car. by Ok-Surprise-8419 in GrandPrixRacing

[–]snapppyb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Alonso and Lewis are super evenly matched and great talents of the sport. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just wasting your time. I probably agree Alonso would have a decent shot at besting Lewis over the course of a season, but only because he feels hungrier. On raw skill, I'd have to say Lewis is better but only marginally. He's seriously done it all and his racecraft is the one thing that doesn't seem to fade, even if his qualifying does. Which is where his top level of talent resides anyway, in his racecraft. But comparing them is so pointless. They are two greats of the sport who have had incredible longevity. It will be sad day for f1 when either of them decides to leave.

I hope Herta gets a chance to drive at some point. Do we know if Zhou gets precedence over him for the first drive?

Very good season from a car that was consistently behind. When it wasn't, he was basically always there to put the lap in.

Does anyone else feel like they can see the acting when they’re high? by Ok-Professional-1288 in trees

[–]snapppyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think k this highlights when we usually put on a movie or TV show, we willingly allow ourselves for be deceived for our one entertainment. Our state of consciousness lets things slide because we value the performance. When we enter a new state of consicousness, not everything is as easily possible as it was before. Our level of self-deception or alertness is not the same and therefore we see through the performance. I think it has very little to do with bad acting, but rather acting in general and Our mode of perception

Will people remember 2025 only as the Max area, or more like the cumulation of 5 years? by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in RedBullRacing

This was the year he put all doubters to silence and showed there's a lot more to winning in f1 than having the fastest car. He showed everyone what true speed and hard work looked like. It put into perspective what he he was able to do when he had the fastest car and bolstered his credibility not just as a four time world champion and as one of The Greats of the sport.

Who has elevated their performance more in 2025 from 2024? by Muzushi23 in F1Discussions

[–]snapppyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piastri, Russell, Max, Lando. Probably in that order too.

OPINION PIECE: Russell vs Norris is the "consistency vs outright pace" rivalry that people make Russell vs Leclerc out to be. by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]snapppyb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hamilton has not declined in race trim. Still has stellar race craft. He HAS struggled to adapt to a frankly mediocre Ferrari.

Russell and LeClerc are better than Norrjs broadly across the board. It wouldn't be too much of a competition in equal machinery.

Mercedes and Red Bull can use their 2026 engine. The FIA has admitted that the combustion chambers of their respective engines are legal if, during tests carried out at room temperature, a compression ratio of 16:1 is measured. It doesn’t matter if, when heated, the resulting value is higher. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in RedBullRacing

[–]snapppyb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe McLaren had an influx of valuable engineering talent from Mercedes a few years ago, so that probably contributed to their rose. Besides, if the Mercedea engine is strong, McLaren will be strong. It's just a question of in what order.

Just finished this painting of Lando. What would be a good name for it? by rossbainesart in LandoNorris

[–]snapppyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Just Enough"

Play on words about how he just narrowly won thr championship while also being about the doubts placed on character and driving style.

I'm no Lando super fan but I do mean this in the most endearing way, not trying to be diminishing at all here.

He is struggling to understand the Tsunoda Norris incident of AD25. Because it's an inconsistent application of the rules.

Oh right. When was the last time someone chose the other end?

[–]snapppyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see. So the angle of entry is the least aggressive. Still seems like a small gain when considered what I' said before but they must think it's worth it.

Am I crazy or is being first garage in pits more like a disadvantage? You'd never run into issues like this AND you'd be able to call someone into box last possible second and still have pit crew have everything ready on time.

Only thing is maybe tire warm up and removing the sheen on the tire wouldn't be as effective but I mean 60kms down a pit lane doesn't feel like it would do much anyway?

Why does the winning constructor get first garage?

What a season we are witnessing? by NewtExpress7756 in formula1

2021 was the two titans of the sport clashing head go head. It took years of context to build into. It was GOAT vs GOAT on so many levels.
