    He does sing. You don't want to hear it though. He's just a rich kid indulging himself, and why wouldn't he?

    It's the car!

    It’s the car…
    Fact: this Mercedes team is the most dominant team in the history of Formula 1, whichever way you choose to look at it. They have the most consecutive Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships, the most wins in a season and the most 1-2 finishes in a season.
    Their cars have been so strong that they’ve made Nico Rosberg a World Champion. The German was undoubtedly a good driver, but World Champion material? We’re not so sure. Nevertheless, his car was so far ahead of the rest of the field that it made it so.


    The Silver Arrows has also turned Valtteri Bottas into a multiple race winner and has finished as high as P2 in the championship. Again he’s good, but for him to so often beat the likes of Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel, the car must be even better.
    Meanwhile, in the same era of the sport, we’ve seen the likes of World Champions Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button languish at the very bottom of the grid due to their poor cars. The former in particular was still one of the best drivers on the grid when at McLaren but struggled to even score points. His struggles are clear evidence of the fact that the car is more important than the driver these days. I mean come on, Pastor Maldonado finished 16 points ahead of Alonso in 2015 and 11 ahead of Button.
    Finally, when Hamilton’s car hasn’t been the class of the field, it’s fair to say he often hasn’t been the best driver on the grid, or even close in fact. In Red Bull’s four-year run of dominance, Hamilton also lost to drivers in cars no better than his. Alonso, in a Ferrari that wasn’t much better than the Brit’s McLaren, if at all, beat him in each of them, while Button wiped the floor with him in 2011. Michael Schumacher, the man Hamilton is compared to in the ‘GOAT’ argument, rarely had such struggles prior to his comeback.

    To be fair, Nico winning the championship was probably the highlight of the last six years.

    Sad news!!
    A lot of people we look up to are on the verge these days. For me there are a lot of musicians that are getting old. And I mean big names, McCartney, Jagger, Plant. There will be some sad days in the near future.
