1. Statistically Ham has the most wins and cups - fact. Does it make him the greatest? No. Best? Maybe among the current driver line up yes, but its arguable. Rosberg won ham in 2016)) Also he has the best car from the company that gained from engine regulations. I will never be tired to repeat, I dont know how merc made the best concept from the beginning, with split turbo and jet injection (when nobody even thought about it. I am 100% sure merc started to work on engine at least half a year and maybe a year earlier than others). So ham had easy 2014, 2015, its a fact. Also lets not forget, there is more races a year now, so it is simplier to get more wins and quali poles on dominating car. Also there is the different points system now. 

No difference than the Schumacher years, or Vettel years, or even Alonso with his back to back with Renault, when they had the tuned mass damper. The best driver on the dominating car wins. 

2. F1 has ALWAYS BEEN pilot champ. Simply look when the drivers cup and constructors cup appeared. Constructors and manufacturers champ is WEC and its predecessors

You might be the only one that thinks that way bud.

Did Formula 1 start by a bunch of race car drivers got together and say lets find some manufacturers to make cars for us? Or a bunch of race car makers got together and find some racers to fill in their cars?  It's the later. Why else would constructors find replacement drivers to continue to earn points if their drivers are hurt, died, or otherwise unavailable? And those points still count towards the overall championship?

3. RB was not the private team. Face it real, it was renault backed team, where renault made the engines for rb specs and rb made the gearbox housing themselves (with xtrac), so they had their own suspension arm mountings. Formally rb is not a manufacturer, but in fact it is in the same position. On Mclaren - wait and see when they start (if it happens) to be the competition to merc)))) engine contract will be finished in 1 day))) Seidl is not a fool, and he clearly understands the the merc engine is needed to be 2nd, but not 1st. To be 1st you need your own engine (or porsche/audi one). Merc engine is a temporary solution to be competitive, but not winning.

This is where you completely lost it. You do realize Renault has their own FACTORY TEAM when Red Bull was getting Renault engines right? Renault isn't a deep pocket car maker, why would they back another team other than their own factory effort? Red Bull bought the Ford backed Stewart Racing way back then, it first ran the Ford for one year, then a Ferrari engine the next, before they got the Renault engine deal. They are a privateer team by all definitions, making their own chassis while sourcing engines from someone else. They aren't a Frank Williams or a Sauber or McLaren type privateer team which replies heavily on sponsor money as they are the one that brings the money via the Red Bull brand, but still works the same way. Come 2022 Red Bull will be doing their own engine, so they would lose their privateer status and join the likes of Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault/Alpine as a factory team. 

4. I dont understand why did you make me Max fan))) but ok. Vet - is a joke and his driving is joke . Kimi - great pilot, but lets make it clear - he raced in alfa for fun. Age.

Max is exactly like Vettel in his early years at Red Bull. Vettel still can drive, yip ou drop him into Max's Red Bull right now, he may not be ultimately as fast as Max, but he can still perform impressively. Plus, you were talking about 'personality', I immediately gives you 2 interesting one. You forgot Vettel's press conferences? He is hyper entertaining, so is Kimi's one word replies. No one else on grid right now gives better interviews than these 2, maybe Norris. Max has this permanent-rage look during press conferences and interviews, it's like he thinks everyone is just wasting his time. Hamilton is all business like without fun. 

P.S. In previous post i was a guy who knows nothing about motorsport, now I am a Max fan. Interesting what will be nextSmiley

 

You do realize that sentence isn't mutually exclusive right? Like millions out there, one can be a Max fan without knowing much if at all on motorsport. The same ones week in and week out keep shouting Max's driving standard is fine, it's the rules that's wrong.
