Theophany posted:He has 4 more world championships than the vast majority of the grid and he took them in an era where Red Bull were not as insanely dominant as Mercedes have been and the sharp end talent was far more diverse. Don't get me wrong, the Vettelreich was boring at a macro level, but the race-to-race outcomes were nowhere near as loving dull as the Mercedes domination era has been, bar 2016. People who don't want to see Vettel & Lewis in the same car, are secretly TERRIFIED they're going to see Lewis meltdown and be beaten. Like if you're so sure it's a disaster for Vettel you should support the move 100%. Lotta terrified lewis fans ITT.

Vettel won four world titles due to the stunning skill of having better one lap pace than Mark Webber. I'm not really worried about him beating Hamilton, nor would I be particularly upset about a less predictable season. Unfortunately he sucks and wouldn't beat Hamilton.

My guess is that Vettel would likely outqualify Hamilton but the fall apart in the races and lose over the season. The red bull during the years he won was really geared around running at the front which I think played to his advantages and having a lame duck teammate left him pretty unchallenged. F1’s emphasis on aero really hurts any car that isn’t the outright fastest and in this regard and the failure to address it led to Vettel winning four titles, something to consider.

I also think there’s zero chance of Vettel going to Mercedes unless Hamilton is like right on the brink of retirement.

I’d love to see it but there is zero chance that Vettel accepts a role as a second driver. It’s simply not going to happen. I guess we’ll never know if Vettel, a man more noted for melting down under pressure than winning in the past 6 years, somehow is actually still a top driver.

Aldi Australia are about to have a sale on Cast Iron cookware for less than $27 each. They've got cast iron Dutch ovens, frying pans, French pans, iron griddles, saucepans, mini casserole and baking dishes. Thought that was interesting because its the combination of 2 things that this thread loves to bicker over, Aldi & Cast Iron cookware.

Vettel Mercedes would be hounded every race by Verstappen and Leclerc. Hamilton would win every race and second would be Sainz and i dont know...Checo Perez.

NtotheTC posted:Are you kidding? Vettel doesn't get nearly enough poo poo for being as bad as he is. Case in point: people apparently rate him over Bottas. Just lmao. Vettel has beaten an old, decrepit australian man and an old, decrepit finnish man. That's it. Every other competition he's had he's lost. He never beat Are Kimi in the far more important stakes of being a roflmao legernd who wants ice cream and also to take a poo poo. How many times has Seb said bwoah? Game set and match Kimi I think. Ahahah I'm doing a big hearty lol just thinking about him saying that he knows what he is doing and needs to take a poo poo. He's so loving random I love him.

Plus, Kimi would have to be top 3 of the 9 Finnish drivers who have raced in F1. There has been at least 1 Finnish driver on the F1 grid every year since 1989.

No sense in upsetting the great team dynamic they have In 2016 they could at least push the "war of the silver arrows" and people were more engaged with that season and outcome than at any other time in the era. Though there was some "it's still a merc winning everything" and a lot of "but its not a RED car winning, arghghg!!" there were no team orders in play and it did genuinely feel it could go either way, and Lewis might lose! Which, he did. Liberty will absolutely want to replicate that in lieu of any significant changes to the car pecking-orders now delayed another season.

Big Sharl will do a better job of challenging Lewis, with what should be the full backing of Ferrari. Doesn't mean he will win, but he won't do a Seb.

Hey, you leave Are Niki out of this. He was a good lad who meant well and was mates with Lewis, I'm sure he was as pissed off as we were about the EU-FIA shenanigans to hand the WDC to an undeserving Germo-Mongoose fraud.

The drivers will be in full racing gear with helmet. They communicate by radio and nobody in the pits needs to get nearer than 1m to them during stops. Obviously a driver having covid isn't a problem.
