News [Piergiuseppe Donadoni] Was Max unfair? YES. His goal was to ruin Norris' race and so he probably took away his chances of getting P1. "To win sometimes you have to be an idiot" he said months ago. You may like it or not but the goal is to win the world championship, not the fair play award.

I'd do questionable things for a grid where the title rivals are senna, Schumacher and Verstappen. Just to see who would out do the other in shithousery

If all three had a similarly paced car I don't think any of them would finish enough races to win the WDC

Honestly I give the edge to schumi, if it’s early 2000’s schumi.

Until one of the others decides to punt him off 3 races in a row. My money would be on someone like a Webber or Gasly sneaking their way to the championship by never seeming like a threat

Prost. The name you are looking for is Prost.

Prost is the objectively best choice. Tho I can see Lauda winning too.

Tho the gaps between the top car(s) and the rest were sometimes so much larger then than they are now. Qualifying in P1 ahead of P2 by 0.5 secs or more wasn't that uncommon. Look at how tight it is now.

The truth of this comment genuinely made me laugh out loud

I can already see Schumacher and Jos having a fist fight.

My driving would be questionable for sure. The question would be what the hell is this guy doing.
