I decided that it was not worth it. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want even if its a lie so why bother.
Not another deletion, I was responding and then it vanished :lol:

You are right that everyone is entitled to believe what they want, which is why it's so funny that you get worked up over people praising Verstappen. He's a generational driver in the prime of his career, he's gonna get compliments, get over it.

Btw, teenagers can be adults. Makes no sense without the context of your deleted comments but I wanted to put it on the record :lol:

Hes indeed a very good driver but hearing someone who claims to be watching from the early 90s getting excited from Brazil 2016 when you have better performances from drivers like Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton during their careers is a little overrated. I suppose those three must be super geniouses. By the way once you reach 18 you are considered an adult by law. Anyway that's all from me.

Maybe they think that performance is more impressive than those others that you think of. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

One thing however that is not a matter of opinion is that you don't stop being a teenager until you turn 20 8)

Well technically every number from 13 to 19 has teen next to it so that is correct in that concept.

It is indeed until people forget about it and start talking about their driving god that transcends all realities with action bringing reaction.

It will most likely be a show car with the new livery and not the real car.

No one did this. This is the same claim Emag mag, but you're both arguing against strawmen you constructed. Then you claim that others are not in touch with reality in the same sentence, in an attempt to criticize a reminder about the type of forum that you are on. It's insane. You will not get very far in science and engineering if you can't ascertain & acknowledge reality.

None of those drivers won their debut race. You're saying it's wrong to find Verstappen's debut RBR stat significant but you go further and claim that it is an act of deification. It's a reasonable response to a rare occurrence. Again, I have to invoke: "Methinks thou dost protest too much." What is the point of this?

and then the drivers and Red Bull insisting it's the real thing. Every year the same. Also people peering
over over-exposed pictures trying to see those special aero tricks.

I don’t know what exactly about my post you didn’t like but I clarified already that the second one was made as a reply to a deleted comment. It’s specifically targeting points that were mentioned in that comment and without it, it looks out of place, so you’re judging it as if I randomly started to bring up points nobody mentioned.

As for the first one, I can’t see how that “offends” anyone. It was a reply to the person who expressed the desire to see Max on another team to “gauge” him. And I simply made a counter point that there’s probably enough data already to know how good Max is, including more realistic gaps than what we have seen this last year and a half in particular.

So you don’t really need to see Max on another team to know he likely beats everyone in this grid in a race h2h.

It says livery launch, not car launch.

Ah, welcome !
'noughties' refers to year CE 2000 and later, not CE 1990 and later (that's 'nineties'). so I've been watching for some 22-23 years now, the Schumacher era onwards. Have watched highlights from previous eras. Since that is out of the way, I am amused that you couldn't 'resist' a 'scathing reply' to my post praising Verstappen, and gave in to the 'itch' finally. Later deleted it, I understand. Would have loved to read that 'scathing reply'.
Btw, I hope you remember your own posts in the McLaren thread before the summer break where you claimed that since Piastri would be winning title in his 3rd season in F1 while it took Max 6 seasons to win his first title; therefore Piastri is the better driver (without any consideration about the 'luck' factor involved in having a winning-car) ? So you are only as good as the rest of us, having subjective opinions about many things.
I rest my case.

Venky If you've been watching from 2002-2003 you have missed a lot of great performances from the 80s and 90s. Oh well you have your preferences, I have mine. Secondly unmount yourself from that high horse. Till the summer break Oscar gave some very good performances. Nobody could predict the pressure getting to him that much which is natural as its his first title challenge. I still think he performed very well considering he is driving on even terms with Lando and definitely doesnt have 3 other drivers backing him up with data+Masi. Speaking about luck we can talk about it when Max drives a Mclaren Honda or a Mclaren Renault with a GP2 that barely could enter top 12 and breaking every two races.

And to Vorticism I agree that Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton did not win on their first race but then again Senna and Schumacher had a Minardi type car and got a second place with that on their first year and Hamilton had the best rookie year of all time. I doubt Max would have been able to perform as well if he was in his shoes. Sure I might sound protesting but considering how much the hornet's nest has been poked from Emag's comment to a deleted message I'm just a kitten in front of a storm. And Vorticism I am an accountant by the way. I only know the very basics about science or engineering nor do I care. I have my own life.

Anyway. Im not gonna bother analysing it anymore as it is. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Waiting to see the new liveries.
