Showtime Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 As if Lewis needed more reason to be disliked. I have loved watching his talents and skills blossom, I have not enjoyed watching his personality erode. I just can't imagine Senna or Schumacher or Verstappen asking for or even thinking for a split second that they need protection against a faster teammate. If this rumor is true he is kicking any potential legacy to the curb. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and TheoG 3

If this rumor is true he is kicking any potential legacy to the curb.Well Senna did not sign a contract with Mclaren until 6 months into the season due to things they could not agree on, race fee, winning fee etc. It is nice to see that the real world issues of COVID and a financial meltdown is affecting F1 drivers and that money is more than just a number. Hard for Merc to be laying of factory workers while giving massive bonus to a single person, where they could put Russel in and achieve the same result. *Yes the F1 team is hardly funded at all by Merc, but the sentiment is there.

If this rumor is true he is kicking any potential legacy to the curb.I don’t agree. History has shown that the champions have very often “controlled” who is in the No:2 seat. You think Ferrari thought Barrichello was the 2nd fasted driver on the planet? Many drivers have insisted they have a “say” in who their teammate is. This was discussed in Adrian Newey’s book “How to build a race car” and Mark Webber’s “Aussie Grit” books that I’ve read. They want a teammate that can back them up well from their rivals but just not be fast enough to challenge them for the championship. aiyaaz 1
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 All media hype, the signing was never in danger. Meanwhile Seb is looking super focused in his seat fitting, really hope the Merc power goes some way to showing talent does not just disappear. WrightJnr 1

That make 2 of us, I really hope Seb get his mojo back very early in the season. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
Andymann Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I'm not a betting man at all - in fact I never do. But I probably would have spent R500 by now on Booze so I'm going to put that R500 on Vettel being 2021 WC...... A R500 bet could net close to R40000 if he manages to pull it off.

I'm with you on the sentiment, but realistically speaking, very unlikely. They are virtually a new team and I can not recall that a new team in their first season won the WC ever. I'm just hoping Seb is competitive again and in a year or two would then be in a position to challenge for the title. It would be a very welcome miracle if he can pull it off in 2021.
TheoG Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Brawn GP? Yes forgot about that. Sorry, correction, my mistake it happened once. Pure Savage 1

Pure Savage Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Yes forgot about that. Sorry, correction, my mistake it happened once.I did not see there was a second page and a Brawn fan, even got hats etc that season from the races!! TheoG 1
Pure Savage Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Where does one go to bet on a Norris or Riccardo WC? R500 bet would make watching F1 interesting.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Brawn GP? They did buy the Honda F1 effort which basically needed a decent engine though.............. TheoG 1
MORNE Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 They did buy the Honda F1 effort which basically needed a decent engine though..............and not to mention that the "brawn GP" Honda car was at the time rumoured to have been the most expensive f1 car ever produced lol. Honda went all out. Why Brawn probably was so confident and willing to spend his own money to "buy" the team. Pure Savage and TheoG 2
MORNE Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) He had a hard time at Ferrari it seems.... (to be fair to him, rumors are he is busy with implants on that part lol) Guess Lewis referred him. Lewis till this day denies he has implants aparently...he credits hi's vegan diet and lifestyle lol. But who can forget how he ended that season basically bold and pitch up at winter testing with a full head of hair. Edited January 28, 2021 by morneS555
