Albion went into icu 

I know but that's not my point in my post above. I'm questioning head to head in the same car, you think LH will win double than MV?? You regard so highly of LH or so lowly of MV??

Even WDC is just stats, that's why I don't consider either MS or LH as the GOAT.

Sometimes luck also a huge factor in every race. If you had Ferrari challenging you, chances are you will get lucky with whatever weird decision they made along the way. Just like how Lewis was lucky enough to win the British GP on 3 wheels.

Honestly FIA opened a can of worms and they will never be able to satisfy those fella anymore after AD21. AD21 will always be used as reference for SC restart despite it being the wrong one. People are now starting to be bored with RB dominance that they wanted to have the same thing over again. Max drove a brilliant race in Monza and yet Ferrari are complaining like a sore loser despite every decision with the SC were done in accordance with the rules that were clarified in the aftermath of AD21. I dont even like Max but I dont even want to give Ferrari half a chance to fiight for the victory given their arrogance after making multiple high profile questionable decisions with their pit stops throughout the year.

For GR, I think have to wait until year end if he could really stay ahead of LH. If he does, have to give credit to him, doesn't mean he is better than LH but surely he is a force to be reckoned with if he can keep LH behind in the standings within a 22 race calendar. But subsequently he might end up like DR who stormed in RB by beating SV but now look how bad he is.
Kimi was lucky that Mclaren imploded with the clash of FA vs LH. That year should have been won by FA if not for the Hungary fiasco.

Is there a saying that goes, Hard Work breeds Luck?

I'm still a Ferrari fan since 1999, harder to do so nowadays ... after watching Mercedes YouTube series back in 2017/18(?) where they showed their team daily workings in home factory; the thing that strikes me most is that they got day & night shifts ... so, can say 24hrs round the clock working.  Does Ferrari factory in Moderna do that, at least in recent years?  Or the other teams based in UK?

I guess what I'm trying to say is, although I'm not a fan of LH (nothing against him either), I do admit LH & Merc deserved all their WDCs and WCCs, and understood how they are able to catch up last season and looks like this season as well. 

That said, I prefer MV to win last season ... I could use the reason being MV deserved it more if not due to his DNFs or the shunt caused by VB; but my main reason is ... I don't want to see LH overtook Schumi with 8th WDC ... both at 7 WDCs is fine by me.

Both MS & LH are GoATs (of their era) ... sadly Ayrton Senna could've won more WDCs, and he is one of the GoATs ... and several others also (never-ending debate  )

Next season calendar is 24 races!

Hahaha yeah, they replace France with China and add Vegas, so now got 3 US races, the most of any countries! They really want to expand the US market.

Liberty is US company ma hahahaha
Hahahaha

I thought classic 80s F1 used 2 have 4 US races in 1 calendar

ah good riddance
same with 90s

not forgetting sponsored by a cigarette company

There's an article saying similar but I think he's just not fast enough and he easily got a F1 seat due to his name. He got beaten and now still barely able to match the previously ousted KMag shows that he's average at best. In the junior formula, he was also barely able to win the title and actually never really a stand out driver, often beaten on pure pace by others. I think to be good in F1, usually they were dominating the junior categories

Yes, bravo to MotoGP organizer and riders.

Unfortunately, the changes to F1 cars might mean we will never get real wet race ever again. They are literally kissing the tarmac nowadays. Not to mention the cars are 200KG heavier than those V10 days, let alone being bigger etc.

Ya been like that for don't know how many years already, now probably worse.

They literally swept the track dry for an hour, otherwise it's full wet.

They used wets then inter before deciding for inters.

FIA going out of their way to hand RB the WDC... expecting them to taichi and allowed them to keep the title by any means. That's why now busy cooking their accounts.

Yeah, RB most probably overspent 10k buying Max a birthday cake and a buffet dinner for every staff who attended the party. Oh well...     

Omg coincidentally so similar..

MS Jr is done!

Have to say, having watched both in the flesh, motogp is louder than F1. A lot louder. closest thing to getting a feel of the old days F1.
