2017 F1 Season Compendium

...nice guys don't win championships, aside from Jenson Button and Lucky Boy (which is actually a fucker, IMO, but nevermind).

What about Mika!
Btw, who's Lucky Boy?

[FaultyMario]

Rosberg.

[balki]

Which mediocre championship winning Rosberg?

[FaultyMario]

Junior.

It's my humble opinion that the guy did a truly remarkable job to get his trophy over a beast the size of Hamilton. He's got half the talent of the Briton and yet he was able to force him into errors and capitalize on them.

Yes, his polished media image is annoying AF, but they all do what they ought to do to their best of their abilities.

If Nico was a better driver he would have wrapped his title by Mexico.

Well riddle me this Batman, find someone with better results in his first 2.5 years of racing. The meaning of the word Zero, hyperbole or no, seems to have escaped you. Pick any great driver, MS, AS, LH, SV, and tell me if any of those guys had more Zero results in their first couple of years than Max.

I am honestly not a historian but I think you just don't like someone at this point.

I'm not going to go deep into this debate as it's kinda pointless but this is a really weird argument that you're making. In terms of wins, podiums, Championships etc each one of those drivers had much better results than max in their first three years of driving. They all had multiple wins, Hamilton had a championship, Schumacher was well on his way to his first, senna had multiple wins in the lotus including what is still the largest winning margin in history (in a lotus!) and Vettel had multiple wins, including one in a Torre Rosso, and was in the way to his first championship. By any logical measure each of the drivers you listed had better results in the same period at the beginning of their careers.

Vettel scored points for BMW, if we are still compiling obscure stats on 19 year olds.

[JoeW]

Lewis and Michael were both 22 when they started. Senna was 24 and Vettel was 20.

I think Max has a bright future. Shit he's got 321 points and he's still younger than any of those guys when they started.

Give him some time. He'll mature...then the sky is the limit.

Give him some time. He'll mature...then the sky is the limit.

Famous words once said about Nick Heidfeld.
