Unpopular F1 opinions
Re: Unpopular F1 opinions
Derek Warwick would have been a multiple Grand Prix winner if his career hadn't been ruined by Ayrton Senna.
The new Hockenheim layout produces better Grand Prix than the old one....though I still mourn the passing of the old one.
Half Schumacher was a great driver before his Indy accidents.

Alain Prost is the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time.

Heikki Kovalinen is a better driver than anyone thinks.
Stefan GP should not be allowed on the grid.
Nick Heidfeld should of drove for McLaren in 2002.

No, I'm actually with you, at least as long as I have the possibility to say he's in close competition with Schumacher and Fangio

Michael Schumacher is not nearly as good as he is made out to be. At best, he is as good a F1 driver as Sébastien Bourdais was a Champ Car driver and as good as Jimmie Johnson is a NASCAR driver.

Developing this idea further...
Ross Brawn has won 7 World Titles.
Chad Knaus has won 4 Sprint/Nextel Cups.
Michael Schumacher and Jimmie Johnson were just another component of the car.

The old layout was dreadful, it was a delight when it was revamped into a slower layout.

Jacques Villeneuve is far better than anyone is willing to give him credit for now. Ferrari is the epitome of a team who feels it should be given wins and championships based on reputation rather than performance

Proven by Chad Knaus making the hopeless Stacy Compton (the very MALE Stacy Compton) competitive.
The last time a driver actually won a championship without having the car do more than half the work was Rusty Wallace's NASCAR title in 1989. He would have won the title again in 1993 if Penske didn't give him a ticking time bomb to drive... and if he didn't do two barrel rolls in two different races...

Umm... Ross Brawn won 8 world titles, and Barrichello gets (well, deserves) a lot more than 20% credit for one of those.

I'm with Waris on this one. JV was great in his day (yeah, he drove for Williams so I'm partial...), and Fezza does sound a bit too full of itself most of the time. "Legacy" is great, to a point.

He only won 7 as a race engineer. Title number 8 doesn't count for the purposes of above comparison.

That the teams are always right and the FIA always wrong
That a proposed rule change could actually be a good thing
That Hermann Tilke is not the only person to blame for circuits
That a FOTA breakaway series would have worked
That manufacturers are bad for the sport

For some reason my opinion of allowing first-year F1 teams to have customer chassis has serious negativity amongst the majority of the forum. :-S

And more pay-drivers and investors involved with team management, which, at the same time, will generate more and more new teams with their respective pay-drivers. They'll flee in a short space of time, but they'll be replaced by more investors buying out or investing in new projects and having pay-drivers, and so on. Easy cheesy.
