What's this,is HAM chicken...

Max had 2 chances to drive for Mercedes and turned them down. This is a fact. The only chicken involved is Verstappen and Company. They wanted nothing to do with Lewis.

"Racing with Lewis wouldn't be good for my career at this point." -M. Verstappen circa 2017.

Chicken, thy name is Max.

You yourself have hailed 'King HAM' so if that's the case or GOAT etc then you wouldn't like to see Max sidelined like BOT would you. As you said two into one doesn't go in Merc so...wolf man would let Max win?
I would say a great executive decision taken by Max and co at the time

Chicken. Not an executive decision. Sir Lewis has taken on and beaten 3 WDC partners. Verstappen was beaten by RIC and raced against 2 other shrubs.

Chicken.

^ It's HAM that'll be clucking when Max finishes with him but of course we both know it's dependent on available equipment which is looking more promising for RB than last year..that is unless Merc have been back to nasa for some more undisclosed help.

Rosberg is a reminder my friend !

He did a finger point at Max in the shape of a gun once on the podium which I thought was disrespectful, also taking his winning trophy at Silverstone when most were celebrating was pilfering and to claim he is an 'ambassador' of the sport is simply laughable.

You are really funny. Do you realize that Sir Lewis won 2 races and scored 4 pole positions in the objectively verified 6th fastest car on the grid in 2009?

Say it out loud very slowly. That is the average number of races VER wins with never-less-than-the 3rd fastest car.

No matter how you attempt to chalk it up, the only place that Max is faster than Sir Lewis is crashing into a wall or in his, and the rest of his fans, such at yourself's mind.

Mediocre drivers achieve mediocre results.

I now refer you to my signature.

That is all.

Reminder of what? How reliability can win a WDC? Sir Lewis was leading in Malaysia by 15+ seconds when the engine let go.

ROS didn't WIN the championship, reliability did.

And...in all the years they raced together, this was the ONLY time ROS has beaten Sir Lewis. You are hanging your hat on the hook of failure.

He was successful in beating Sir Lewis 6.7% of the time over their career.

Where is this objective verification of F1 Cars? i would like to see it, specifically for 2010 to 2013.

My friend . My point is : "One of them" I mean one of the two had to win the WDC anyway .

My point is once again : "The advantage of the Mercs spaceship"

"The 2007 McLaren MP4-22 had a 0.205% advantage over Ferrari and is arguably the greatest McLaren not to win a title. The drivers' crown was lost partly thanks to the fierce rivalry between new star signing Alonso, the reigning world champion, and rookie sensation Lewis Hamilton.

The car did score more points than any other during the season, but McLaren's constructors' tally was lost as part of the fallout from the 'Spygate' scandal. The $100million fine would also have longer-term repercussions on the team's ability to invest in new facilities.

In 2008 McLaren was 0.059% behind Ferrari and failed to take the constructors' title but was close enough for Hamilton to pip Felipa Massa for the drivers' accolade. To date, that is the last title McLaren has won, though it would remain competitive for four more seasons.

McLaren missed the double diffuser trick of the new 2009 regulations and started the season poorly. But it recovered well and, though the MP4-24 was only sixth fastest in F1's closest season on raw pace, McLaren took third in the points table.

Do you have the data and basis of how Autosport arrived at their conclusion?

Is this an assessment the basis of which there is a consensus by F1 Engineers is accurate and objective?

Just asking the relevant questions because I would like to see the assessments for the 2010-2031 F1 cars, if they are objective enough to base assumptions on.

I don't have their methodologies but Autosport is a pretty trusted source for F1 news and information.

I think you are spot on right there. Stupid Toto even considering Max.
