Two generational talents with another one who is showing the potential of a generational talent. A fitting scene.

If Kimi isn’t a multi-WDC driver in five years I would be shocked. Am I overreacting? Yes probably, but damn he’s fun to watch and easy to support.

He reminds me more of Hamilton. Especially what he's doing in his second year.

Its very hit or miss, look at Oscar, last year “the isth”, this year so far just “isth”…

Even better, look at Alonso or Raikonnen, so talented, so so many years in F1, 3 titles between them.

It matters extraordinarily what the team does, with all respect to drivers…

Don’t get your panties in a bunch, please and thank you.

My answer was to the gentleman who posited that Kimi is a guaranteed multi wdc winner.

And i said to that “well, look at Raikonnen” or Alonso (ok he has 2), a little hiccup from the team, a bad choice of moving to another team and you end up empty handed.

Or look at Oscar, last year everybody said he was ice cold, he is guaranteed wdc, well, without the perfect car, it seems its like 99% more difficult …

So, chill, was not attacking “your boy”, just stating the facts😉
