One Lap Speed
Who has it. This isn't about feelings, it's the Holy Grail in F1...especially when considered against your team mate. I'll Put it in 3 tiers:
Exceptional: SEN, MSC, HAM, VET, TRU, MON, STE, Clark. Pretty damn good: LAU, MAS, BOT, PRO, VIL, ROS(N) Decent: RUS, VER, HUN, ARN Those are the ones that come most immediately to mind. I'd love to hear everyone else's opinions.

I believe RIC needs to be either in the top group or second group. He can be blisteringly fast at times.

He's not kidding, as soon as a 'who is the quickest' subject comes on it's bombarded by the usual ones who (constantly) provide a stream of 'stats'.
I would say it's VER and RIC combined without providing 'stats'. If there is any difference it's so minimal going from one to the other. Last edited by M5Rick; 12-27-2020 at 02:05 PM.. |

Great banter guys. I DO love the people who say stats don't matter. Well...here is another stat that shouldn't matter.
From 07-12, McLaren scored 30 poles: 26 of them with Lewis 2 for ALO 1 for Kova 1 for But Since 2013, never again. 2 WDCs put away. About 87% of poles for one manufacturer went to 1 driver over 2 WDC teammates. But it's the car.

OK so he was second best to Ricciardo and only manages the odd pole position/fastest lap/race win but still. Its not like he spins/goes off the track in every wet race, or always hits another car during practice/race and sometimes he remembers to brake before he hits a tyre barrier.. surely that must count for something. |

^^ ''There are a lot more things to it'' as concerns the off. VER wasn't driving the car recklessly and there was a fault on the car that made him go off.
The suspension/brake/steering was rectified in the quick repairs which then made the car perform better. |

Same as the car not slowing down sufficiently to avoid ploughing into the tyre barrier at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Red Bull really need to work harder on the self driving elements of their car rather than expect the driver to be talented enough to do it for them. |

VER suffers from IDKIWW Syndrome. While this is a very rare and under-reported syndrome, it is the leading cause of massive shunts while driving very slow in the wet. IDidn'tKnowItWasWet Syndrome is genetically limited to a small number of the Dutch/Belgian population only. While there is no cure, rehabilitation focuses on the basic driving skills of vehicle acceleration and deceleration.

To the one that drives a track prepared road car with stiff suspension and modified engine externals it should be apparent that things can happen 'in a New York minute' or in this case a second to two when something is amiss along the driveline when driving as it should be driven, so it was better for VER to flush it out just before the race with time to spare.
Mind you those that just poodle along in such a road car wouldn't reach that point. |
