It makes me lose my appetite for this great forum. F1 is not a Man United vs. Liverpool or Lakers vs. Celtics kind of sport.

Me, I respect all drivers on the grid. Even the last one of them has super human skills and balls bigger than anyone of us here.

Please stop trolling and have an open mind. Remenber we could be entering another golden era of F1 from 2022 onwards with the likes of Hamilton, Verstappen, Leclerc, Russel, Ricciardo, Sainz, Norris, Perez, Seb etc, probably all at competitive teams.

I too wish for “my team” BS to disappear, but you and I are the few and far between.

I agree. I just HATE when BS is touted as fact. I try to always back up my assertions with facts, quotes and sources. Unfortunately, there are those who use hyperbolic statements as their stock and trade.

F1 is a sport of data, performance and facts with a ton of emotion thrown in for good measure.
