F1 2020 Season

Regarding the Hamilton chat, in my opinion not only is he going to be regarded as the greatest F1 driver of all time (inevitable if he ends up with 8+ WDC plus the wins and poles record), but he should be regarded as Britain’s greatest ever sports-person. I can’t think of many other examples where we have had a Tiger/Serena type sportsman competing in a major sport where they are clearly the best in the field by a margin and you know pretty much nothing anyone can do will stop them winning.

Ronnie O'Sullivan I thought of, but there's a few issues. First is that snooker isn't widely enough played in my opinion, else you could claim Phil Taylor as well. Second is that Ronnie has won 6 WCs, but has been beaten plenty and is still behind Hendry in WCs. When he's on his game he 100% falls into the category of "no-one can beat him", but unfortunately he hasn't ever had that make up. If he could have coupled his talent with even a normal player's mental approach he'd have double digit world championships.

As good as Mo Farah was, he has never set a world record and has won 'only' 4 Olympic golds. Exception yes, but the greatest ever? I don't think so.

Jonathan Edwards would count on that criteria. Still got the world record 25 years later and it's not looking like it will be beaten any time soon. He was also head and shoulders above the rest for a number of years.

Adam Peatey too, breaks his own world record most months.

Steve Redgrave. Won pretty much every time he got in a boat.
 
Nearly a big accident at the end of FP3, Hamilton had to go onto the grass to avoid slamming into the back of the cars slowing before the final corner. Quali will be a shitshow again if they're not careful.
 
Was a nice vid on Jochen Rindt in the pre-quali buildup.

Crazy that the Mercs can piss it on mediums, even without party mode.
 
Traffic is mental.
 
This qualifying session may end up in two drivers having a fight. Its so entertaining to watch
 
Christ 165mph ave speed- fastest lap ever.
