F1 Fanatic

I was just reading James Allen’s blog, and he mentioned that Alonso has challenged Vettel to see who can be the first to three world titles. I just wondered what you guys all though? Heres my opinion:

Alonso in my view is the most complete driver right now, up there with Schumacher in his prime (although just below that level). He is the only man in the field to have beaten the statistically best driver we’ve ever seen both reguarly in races and in a straight fight for the WDC. So based on this I would go with Alonso.

I hear you all saying “Red Bull have the fastest car” ect, and none of us know who will be the quickest, although Red Bull will be quick from the off next year thanks to the stability of the rules. But who will be first in your view, if either of them? Or maybe Button or Hamilton will step up to the mark?

Depends on what you mean – first to third title or the youngest three times world champion? If the youngest, it’s easily Vettel, as he’s 6 years younger. The record for youngest ever three time world champion is 31 (I think), by Senna and Schumacher, not sure about months/days. Alonso will be 31 next year as well.

It’s very likely Vettel will win another title in 5 years’ time, and he’ll probably be the youngest ever triple world champion.

As for who’ll be there first, hard to say. The two are, in my opinion, the best two in formula one at the moment and if Ferrari can produce a good car from the start it’ll be tight.

Honestly can’t say and that’s why I’m very much looking forward to the battle.

Alonso and Ferrari are due a competitive full season sometime soon….right?
That’s my mentality anyway. Given what Alonso has done since joining Ferrari in cars that were nowhere near the fastest on the grid I’d love to see him and Vettel duke it out in cars relatively equal in performance. Should that happen next year or the year after I’d give it to Alonso, but it’d be tight!

Who knows? Maybe McLaren will destroy the field next year and the question will become who will be first to three WDC’s: Fernando, Lewis or Sebastian?

Well if the Mclaren is the fastest next year – then Lewis or Jenson could well become the third double champion – setting us up nicely for the new rules, engines and regulations.

And it would be even better to have Mclaren V RedBull Racing V Scuderia Ferrari drivers going for Triple Crowns.

It’s very difficult to pick right now but considering the ban on exhaust blown diffuser which look set to take effect next season.I think Ferrari has an advantage,so i go for Alonso.

This should be a poll! I’ll go for Seb V

I think it’s a travesty that Alonso hasn’t got at least 3 WDCs by now but I must admit Vettel/Red Bull are favourites going into next year. Even though I still think Alonso is the better driver Red Bull will probably have the fastest car again next year.

They’re relatively dogs, compared to where they were expected to be. The only time when they have really really gotten over their prime tyres in the race was the one where the track was as severe in terms of energy loadings into the tyre; as demonstrated by the McLarens and Red Bulls having to manage their tyres a lot
