Re: Reject of the Year (ROTY) 2018
In defense of Brendon Hartley, his pace wasn't terribly far off of Gasly's, and he improved as the season went on - this against a driver Red Bull saw fit to promote to the main team. It wasn't the greatest season ever, but I think nominating him for Reject of the Year is a bit harsh. And since I'm ...

Re: Unpopular F1 opinions
While I generally don't consider pre-F1 drivers when thinking about the greatest driver of all time, because it's hard enough for someone born in 1992 to form a worthwhile opinion on the likes of Fangio and Clark, I do find it pretty asinine when people insist "F1 only".
