Originally posted by Paralytic View PostIt's been quite a few years since I watched F1, but isn't it still the case that the season results is basically based 50% on the car, 40% team orders, 9% on pit stop mechanics and 1% the driver?Comment

FWIW Lewis and many others moved away from the UK not because they didn't want to pay any tax, but because the way UK tax rules operated to people in their situation was terrible. They got taxed heavily under UK law for everything they did even if they didn't spend much time here i.e. were living most of their time in Monaco but being taxed in the UK. Not unakin to IR35 and we don't tend to think that's 'fair' or that people seeking to escape IR35 are "tox dodging".
But Atw is just a bitter old man. Suggest we stop engaging with him on it and stay on topic.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by vwdan View PostMax can call himself the better driver when he's won another 6 titles, until then, the stats are clear and he has one win predicated on exceptional good fortune at the 11th hour.
I think not - he had the best car for many many years.Comment

He very nearly beat Alonso - widely regarded as the best driver pretty much ever - in his very first year. And I think only one other time did his team-mate beat him, barely, and it took so much out of Rosberg he immediately retired because he couldn't face doing it again.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
