He's talking about Daniel leaving so Piastri can improve the team, not talking about Daniels future whatsoever
That is a very good point.PhillipM wrote: ↑18 Oct 2022, 14:39Part of the reason Alonso, Hamilton, etc, are all lauded as greats is precisely because they can adapt their driving to many different car traits, tyre traits, tyre wear, etc. It's what gives them amazing tyre management so their race pace is maintained even above the qualifying gaps - and the ability to make the car shine in mixed conditions or the rain, etc.
Sorry but that's a very poor excuse from Danny, his experience of other cars should give him a massive advantage in being able to switch styles to extract performance, it's not a disadvantage to have more experience in more cars, more situations and with more tyres, than your novice teammate.

The most scary part is Daniel has more chance of winning a championship than Mclaren in the next 4 years.

Daniel has only 2 disappointing years, Mclarens last decent season was 2012 since then Daniel has more wins than Mclaren.

Technically he drove several F1 cars before he moved to Mercedes. But the salient point, of course, is that he won a title in one of them, and almost won a title in another one. Ah, details do ruin the narrative, eh?chrisc90 wrote: ↑19 Oct 2022, 16:47PhillipM wrote: ↑18 Oct 2022, 14:39Part of the reason Alonso, Hamilton, etc, are all lauded as greats is precisely because they can adapt their driving to many different car traits, tyre traits, tyre wear, etc. It's what gives them amazing tyre management so their race pace is maintained even above the qualifying gaps - and the ability to make the car shine in mixed conditions or the rain, etc.

Hamilton has only ever drove 1 F1 car before Mercedes, I’d hardly say that is being able to adapt.
I'll add that many of the people that built the Merc came over from McLaren. I don't think that really matters with regards to Danny.chrisc90 wrote: ↑19 Oct 2022, 16:47Hamilton has only ever drove 1 F1 car before Mercedes, I’d hardly say that is being able to adapt.PhillipM wrote: ↑18 Oct 2022, 14:39Part of the reason Alonso, Hamilton, etc, are all lauded as greats is precisely because they can adapt their driving to many different car traits, tyre traits, tyre wear, etc. It's what gives them amazing tyre management so their race pace is maintained even above the qualifying gaps - and the ability to make the car shine in mixed conditions or the rain, etc.

But he has driven through 2 different manufacturers cars, through 3 different aero formulas, 2 different types of engine formula and apart from 1 season against Jenson Button and 1 against Rosberg he has beaten every teammate, including Alonso and pretty much demonstrated how strong he is. And then there's his adaptability in changeable conditions....chrisc90 wrote: ↑19 Oct 2022, 16:47PhillipM wrote: ↑18 Oct 2022, 14:39Part of the reason Alonso, Hamilton, etc, are all lauded as greats is precisely because they can adapt their driving to many different car traits, tyre traits, tyre wear, etc. It's what gives them amazing tyre management so their race pace is maintained even above the qualifying gaps - and the ability to make the car shine in mixed conditions or the rain, etc.
