No, that is the answer I was expecting from you, but it's not correct. At least, the vast majority of industry professionals, would disagree with you.iotar__ wrote:Up-voted not because I like it but wanted to see it. No and neither is Hamilton (1,5 tier at best) nor Vettel. Not the answer you were expecting?
Wow. Did you see what Rosberg did? He and Hamilton had the exact same problem. Hamilton retired, Rosberg managed his problem and finished 2nd. Which part of that is flawed? He showed remarkable restraint and professionalism to get that car home in that spot. That's tier 1 in any book.iotar__ wrote:Joking aside: Rosberg is where he always was which is fast but flawed, plus some nice racing adjustments and improvements: aggression and risks at last but with consequences (mistakes).
you're comparing the current No.s 1 & 3 on the WDC with Perez?! Perez is driving for FI because of the money he is bringing - not the talent - and even that amount of money wasn't enough to keep him at McLaren. That is polar opposite to what Rosberg and Riccardo are bringing to their respective tables.iotar__ wrote:Car helps in both examples, give them FI and they're finishing way behind Perez in Canada (before the crash).
Judge them by their peers - Rosberg and Ricciardo are not perfect - but they're where they are because the teams believe in them and because they have earned that position -> a drive in a top tier car, ergo, tier 1 drivers.
