      Slavery is Freedom, War is Peace I do watch other motorsport, I am also an engineer at audi. So, first of all, F1 is not for pussies, do you need more balls to drive rally? -Yes, but if you want danger watch gladiator fights or whatever, because not everything is about the danger. Every single driver that is in that car (Mazepin and Stoll included) can destroy most if not all rally drivers. They aren’t f1 drivers, they are the best drivers in the world. Do you know what it takes and means to be an f1 driver and the morale boost the team gets to have an ex-f1 driver in their team. No you don’t so stop bitching about greenhouse gasses, and their yachts, because the first doesn’t matter for sport and the latter is earned. Hell, I spent 7 years of my life studying to get paid a tenth of what they do, but I respect their talent and skill, and so should you.

    • @corruptcentral7992
      @corruptcentral7992 Před 3 lety +26

      Slavery is Freedom, War is Peace Also you said “in one season of F1 each team pumps out more greenhouse gas than the average person does in 10 years”. So lets break it down, id 1 person does 100% in 10 years, then 10 people do that in 1 year, or 3650 people do that in 1 day. Each team consists of at least 300 people, across the year (season) they only output as much ad 10 average people. I don’t think that is the issue causing global warming, how about you?

      @@8-bitsteve500 Actually he might be considered as the best ever in 15 -20 years from now.For a very good reason.The only thing he was missing in my book was Prost's unique abilty to maintain his car and tyres in tip top shape during the race and giving everything in the end winning the race because he was very fast without braking down the car.This was a unique ability of Prost and the reason he was called the professor.Hamilton was more of a Senna than a Prost.Extremely fast and a bit careless and risky at his first two years ,like Verstappen ,but not crashing or torpedoing people.He became more of a Senna and since his last year he became more of a Prost.You see he didn't make a single mistake in the second half of the year,not one!!!He won his 5th championship in a car that was more robust and trouble free,but not faster than Ferrari.He conquered the ability to maintain the car as best as possible while being the fastest man around.He completed the puzzle.He became complete,no flaws.HE MADE MERCEDES FASTER THAN FERRARI.HE.Two years ago at the first half Ferrari looked the better car.You people don't understand that these last 3 years adding this one that just finished Ferrari and Mercedes were extremely close.He made the difference.if he was racing for Ferrari he would still make the difference in favor of Ferrari,and he would still have won these 3 championships.THAT IS A FACT!!!I am watching F1 since 1977.I have seen them all.When he will decide that it is enough he will be regarded as the best ever 15 -20 years from now ,because the legend grows by time.Senna was incredibly talented and a perfectionist,but he was a very dirty driver at his first 5 years.He made Verstappen look like a schoolboy.His legend grew because of his untimely death and made some things forgotten.Schumaher was a very dirty driver also,until the end of his career,while Senna at his last 2 seasons became more humane and didn't send everyone that tried to pass him to the barriers.Schumaher did this until the end.His Ferrari was half a lap ahead of the second car from 2000 until 2004 and at 2002 and 2004 the car would make Maldonado a world champion.There is a very small difference between Mercedes and Ferrari today.nowhere near how easy it was for Scumacher and Vettel,who won 4 consecutive championships because of a rule that the engines couldn't be upgraded for 4 years and so the car that was by far the best with huge difference to the second best car was Red Bull.Whoever was in that Red Bull would have become a 4 times world champion.That is not the case with the Mercedes vs Ferrari of today.
