I already admitted that for the most part and it’s funny coming from you. Maybe you should dial back on calling others dumb etc and look at all of your own nonsensical posts.

It’s quite obvious to everyone you don’t know shit. Your buddy appreciates your posts only because he agrees with your point of view.

I don't read every single post but going by your avatar one may have guessed that.
It's a public forum but I guess you enjoy your own clueless posts, at least I support a some other drivers/team and don't change my spots to whoever is winning.

It’s quite obvious you don’t read others posts as I’m not necessarily a big fan of MB or HAM. I respect them and recognize what they’ve done though. I’ve always been more of a VET fan and support a lot of other teams/hope they keep developing to make the races more entertaining.

What about my avatar, I’m hockey fan so what? It’s a public forum, what?

Fair enough.
Myself I think there are certain metrics and comparisons that give a pretty good indication of where any particular certain driver sits in the overall rating of modern F1 drivers.
But sure no one can be 100% certain.
I ask about the 2007 season (which you obviously didn't see) because it was the most outstanding rookie season of any driver pretty much in the history of F1...not because of the car but because of who Hamiltons was up against in the other car.

Nothing wrong with your avatar mate it's just unusual you being on F1 site with ice hockey avatar.
Something we surprisingly have in common is that we both like Seb,there was a poll on an F1 website and he came much higher than HAM of being the most liked driver out of the lot in UK,(don't ask me to bring it up, look it up yourself.
As you said already that you have little knowledge F1 so how do you know I'm talking sh*t,eh and do you read everyone's posts if you go on a ice hockey site?

Wut? One can’t like more than one sport? And this isn’t even a dedicated F1 site/forum.

When one is as engaged as heavily as you are in trying to pump one guy up at the expense of everyone and everything else it becomes pretty clear. Also reading others posts here that do know a lot about F1 are very very different from yours...........

Is it even real? A lot to unpack there if it is and not a lot of it is very good unfortunately.

I think we've spoke enough, at least I'm a follower of F1 with a valid interest supporting drivers/team unlike you oh you like VET you said, wow.
Looking through your posts which just ramble on about jack and there's not even the occasional humour from you so go and argue with someone else.

LOL at you pair...you don't even know that the plan in 2011 was for a 4 cylinder turbo engine not a V6 turbo hybrid for the 2013 season.
https://www.racefans.net/2010/12/10/...ines-for-2013/
The subsequent regulation change to a V6 design for the 2014 season reset all teams engine development...everyone started their V6 hybrid design at the same time.
The idea behind the original 4 cylinder turbo engine design was that this would bring in VW and or other manufacturers into the sport.
A plan that Ferrari were dead against because they didn't make a 4 cylinder engined car.
Mercedes wanted to stick to V8s
Renault were very keen on the idea.

Lauda told Montezemollo Merc were building a hybrid V6 way back in 07,didn't you see my post and Lauda never denied he did say it and no I'm not bringing the post up again.

Oh I know the interview...and I know the engine regulations that the FIA set for the 2013 season...because they are a matter of public record.

So what to believe....Montezemolo or the actual FIA regulations.

Odd also...Montezemolo was against the 4 cylinder engine regs so why support the V6 hybrid regs if he knew that Merc were developing a V6 hybrid since 2007.

Almost as if its all BS.
