What?
Hülkenberg is a good driver, and exciting to watch. He's far more impressive than the glass of milk and deserves a shot at a better team. Putting Ginsters in the Lotus is just asking for trouble. We basically only want that to happen f0r the lulz.

Alain Prost was right to be calling off the Monegasque GP in 1984.
Not sure how unpopular this might be, but I know a lot of people who hark for the sentimental victory for a then rookie Senna in his plucky Toleman.

And Piquet's last three or four victories were all fortuitous, when the cars in front decided to asplode or crash and gift him the victories.
Taking nothing away from him, of course. He was a great racer in his day. Deserved much better in 1988; that Lotus was abominable.
