Formula One ( F1 )

Was Lewis not faster than Alonso when they had the same car? Not always, no.

I don't think he's the best driver (and have never said so - I have repeatedly said that Alonso is), and actually, I don't know who does, but many people think that he is the fastest driver. And I think once he has dialled into the Merc, or it has been dialled in to him, it will be enough for him to show his true pace. At the moment, I think he's a bit hamstrung.

This last paragraph is hilarious. We are talking about Formula 1 race car drivers here. Key word there being race. In a race, the fastest is the best and the best is the fastest. It is a race. There is simply no other way to dress it up.
The fact he needs the car so dialled in to his own 'style' of driving is proof he is poor at adapting. The fastest, and therefore best driver would do this easily and with little fuss. He's even admitted himself he needs to up his game. Rosberg is schooling him.

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate Lewis. I think his debut season was one of the best debuts ever - he would have been champ if he didn't bin it in the gravel at the pit entry at Suzuka! I was actually glad he got it the following year. But right now I think he's got his focus on too many other things to be a champion F1 driver again, like his dog, his girlfriend, his new found 'freedom' from McLaren and his fucking R&B wannabe popstar career. I mean WTF!
