@craig-o I know a lot of people do but I’ve always found personally a lot more people do rate Senna more highly!

@banburyhammer I rate Clark as probably the second best of all time only behind Senna just for […]

@craig-o
Why? I think he proved in Bahrain he is faster than Jenson. It seems they just didn´t calm him down enough for Jenson.

What would be the fun in that though @craig-o :-)

@craig-o
I disagree, the personalities of sportsmen such as Senna, Cantona, McEnroe & Ali are a huge part of the reason they were so popular and brought so many new fans and sponsors to their respective […]

@craig-o the counter arguements were though that the baseline is always taken as a 7, which maybe skews the results.

My return argument to that though is that we all watch F1 because we enjoy doing so, so […]

@craig-o I suppose that just depends what you like then really! :P

I’ve personally never really liked Indycar or NASCAR but I can understand why others may like it – for me it just doesn’t play to my tastes!

Ye s@craig-o, excellent comment. There is a problem when people prefer sticking to an opinion (“he’s bad”, “Newey won the WDCs”, “Rivals had bad luck”) rather than seeing the races, analyzing the facts, and then […]

@craig-o I particularly like that picture and it’s been my screensaver for some time so I thought I should just change it! It also has a slightly paraphrased quote of his saying “You are doing something that […]

@fer-no65 – true, that stat can only become more meaningful with time.

@craig-o I expect they’ll be better in Bahrain with regards to tyre degredation because if the last-minute change but indeed they seem […]

@craig-o What about Silverstone 2008, with Coulthard and Vettel taking each other out on lap one?

@craig-o Senna’s pole streak stands at 10 years (1985-1994), while Schumi’s pole streak stands at 13 years (1994-2006).

That’s actually a nice bit of symmetry if you look at it: you can count on at least one […]

@craig-o yes the 80s up until mid 90s when the MSC reign began.

@francorchamps17 and Paffett is racing in another series too, and to memory, Gene.

In fact, it just serves to bolster @craig-o‘s point that Buemi is becoming a “race in another category, F1 simulator testing” driver.

@keithcollantine I think what @craig-o means (and I don’t agree with – I agree with your Mortara/Wickens argument) is that the DTM series is populated with many drivers who are outstaying their time, and hence, […]

@craig-o

I do fear this might be the end of being a full time driver for Buemi

If Antonio Felix da Costa’s future in the sport comes at the cost of Sebastien Buemi’s return, then it’s a price worth paying. Buemi […]

@craig-o
Three world championships aren’t experience enough? I think that says something about Vettel, he’s achieved so much and yet he’s barely entered the middle of his career.

@craig-o Happy birthday!
My birthday is tomorrow (9th). Viva Aries! :-)
