I wish FIA discontinues Singapore from calender. A night race, and street circuit, yet managed to put up a abysmal race/show.

Painful indeed. What struck me this race was just how Ferrari wasted it in terms of strategy. Meanwhile, Alonso managed to needle his way into P7.

I tend to know where they are on track, but I kinda think the camera work this year didnt really work out that well in that regard. All of the shots were so close up on the cars that it was hard to see what section they were by.

Looks like a Formula E track.

The only thing that is on another level is his car. This guy has zero competition. He drives alone, it's like one car on track. The others can not compete because of the equipment. His team manages everything for him. They crank his engine up when he needs it. He doesn't have to drive on the limit, like others do, which means less errors. When he has to start at the back, everyone lets him through, Bottas his lapdog included. In Monaco they just call Ocon.

We saw what happened to him, when he had a better teammate. Unfortunately they removed him...
This guy can be gifted a few more championships, it doesn't mean anything. Senna? You must be kidding.

Bottas cannot hold his own against Raikkonen...
Ferrari is a better car. Currently Hamilton is not driving the best car on the grid yet he still is in the lead and is extending that lead every race.
Senna will always be number one because of everything he had. Personality, charisma, skill, national pride...
Hamilton is a hipster and I hate that, but you cannot argue against his skill, also his manager did a pretty fine job of putting him in the right place at the right time which cannot be said about Briatore and Alonso (apart from Renault in 2005. and 2006.)

I don't think Ferrari has the better car. In my opinion Mercedes throttles their own performance, to make it look like there is a championship fight going on. People were sick of them winning in the past. They are letting Ferrari come closer and even win, but Vettel keeps screwing everything.

I'm pretty sure, we don't see the real Mercedes pace. It is easy for a driver to look good on track, when he doesn't have to give everything and can still comfortably lead races. The same applies to Vettel in his Red Bull era. When he was in front and someone got closer, they just told him to speed up and he was able to drive one-two seconds faster.

If a driver doesn't have to be close to the limit, he makes fewer mistakes, wins anyway and fools many people. We saw what happened to Vettel, when Ricciardo joined the team. Maybe he underperformed on purpose, to get out of his contract, maybe this was his real pace...

I'm sure Hamilton can be fast, but he isn't used to real competition anymore. He would loose a fair battle in equal machinery (and status) against a few current drivers.

Agreed, although Hamilton will not be remebered as a great (in my opinion) because of his personality. He just lacks that "X factor" to put it in the most cliché way possible. Gilles is considered a great even though he doesn't have a title to his name, unlike Jacques who has one but isn't considered that.

@Xoya @Boudy AS it happens with all drivers, Hamilton's real legacy will be felt and appreciated only after he retires. His antics off-track are relevant only because he's still racing, but that will be forgotten and his stats and highlights remain. Not meaning to compare him directly against Senna, but Ayrton was seriously despised by many too. For different reasons, some justified. Same with Michael. Same with Prost. That's the nature of the multiple world champions. That's also the way it should be.

Also agreed. Only time will tell.
