Comparitively Boxing is cheap as chips. Talent and self-discipline are the biggest requirements for a sustainable career and championships.

Exactly.

It's 100% down to the human being and nothing to do with equipment.

A boxer, for instance, can't blame his gloves.

He can if he's wearing Marigold's.

Short answer: No

My guess is that their aim would be to have all cars on the same lap at the end of the race.
Races where driver inputs determine the race outcome
Shorter races to attract a younger audience - they are the future.

While the technical side may be of interest to many of us on this forum, I do not believe it is significant to most casual fans.

Most tennis fans would be unhappy if they thought the reason why Nidal, Federer and Djokovic won tennis matches was because they had a bigger budget to buy better rackets and trainers.

As I understand it, that’s exactly what happened with Djokovic. He took on some big financial backers that allowed him to push from good to one of the best.

Think that would be an advantage.

Not sure if anyone remembers this shocking incident.

How it was not checked before the bout is beyond me.

The only problem is Bottas isn’t Irvine who was more than happy to take the money and be Michaels butt monkey...

Nothing more than an urban myth. Irvine was a tough competitor. Crossed the line 6th in his first F1 race by unlapping himself against the mighty Senna.
Eddie will tell you that Michael's relentless raw speed was the same as "being hit around the head with a cricket bat" every day.
Eddie, Johnny, Felipe and Rubens could hardly keep up.
I would not class Bottas in the same category as any of them. He was mediocre at Williams and fits the needs of Hamilton perfectly well.
Bottas is no Rosberg that's for sure.

Exactly Sparta

Irvine said many times who fast Michael was and he couldn’t match his pace. He just accepted his place. When Michael broke his leg Eddie was in prime position to take the title but he didn’t because the pressure got to him.
Before you argue that one Sparta, listen to Ross Brawn Beyond The Grid... he said it himself.
To me Irvine spent to much time kissing Michael’s arse

Ross is always a fine listen - and in this one he reveals that Eddie adopted Michael's work ethic and disciplines. And yet he still couldn't get close to MS. Must've been frustrating for Eddie but at least he had some extra curriculum pleasures to help ease the pain.

Also worth noting that Michael could still deny Eddie the WDC with a broken leg, by telephoning Mika Salo some sage advice on how to maximise his speed and watching from his sofa

That's fisting.

A different sport and not yet eligible for the Olympics

Hi everyone. Is it possible that Hamilton beat Schumacher record in F1? What do you guys think about it?

[OFORBES]

He has already beaten his record number of poles by 15, so if he stays around long enough in the sport, I believe he could top Michael on World Championships too.

[Deesee]

18 Race wins to go.

End of 2020 if he can keep winning 9/10/11 races a season.

Mind with these new regs (aero), it should suit the flatter (rake) he could win 5/6 of the first races in 2019, in that case it could be sooner than the end of 2020.
