@NoelKnowsWheel It’s easy in hindsight tbh.
During 2025 hardly anyone said it because he wasn’t having a great year.
There were genuine shouts of saying Kimi was the least talented rookie last year.

@FormulaUR__ You'd have to be blind not to see his talent early on, but great call! lol

When you know what to look for in a driver, judging drivers becomes a very different ballgame.

A bit of a premature take which will definitely age well over time - but on just raw driving ability Kimi Antonelli is surely one of the most versatile drivers in (track) motorsport history already… As he gets older, more experienced and adds wins to his belt - this will be a very common take to the masses.

I always thought Hungary was the track most suited to the 2026 cars, so will be interesting how the racing will be this weekend.
There’s no getting over the poor battery deployment rules, but in terms of following and wheel to wheel, Hungary always had decent racing pre-2017.
There are plenty of big braking zones so I doubt deployment will be as much of a problem here.
The smaller, more nimble cars should help that.
Hopefully we see cars going for moves through turns 3-4 once again - as the cars post 2017 took that away from us.

I’m not talking about football records or numbers.
Just raw, player quality.
The natural quality is simply worse, just watch it.
Take the 10 best wingers, centre forwards and centre halves in current world football and pit them against any other era and they come up second best.

@FormulaUR__ Football is evolving. It is shifting from individuals to systems. Thats why individual records may plateau for a while. Also these ‘individual records’ were broken by messi and CR7 less than a decade ago. So Not that long ago. I dont think you are being objective here

@FormulaUR__ Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. ❤️ - By George Russell
I really hope things turn around for him. He deserves a clean weekend. 😭
English
He makes George look average,is irrelevant when George is battling reliability issues left and right and losing 4 tenth on the straight.
Even Mercedes admited they have problem on George car
A teammate comparison is only valid when both cars are performing properly.

What is this shocking take. Compare a driver to their teammate - he’s making Russell look distinctly average this year, especially on race pace. Forget about Spa due to Russell’s issues and that doesn’t change. Watch races like Monaco, Miami, Japan, Spain. He won 5 races in a row at 19 years old and will no doubt end the year with double digit wins. What else do you want Antonelli to do? Get out of his car and push it over the line? All this “eye test” nonsense is mentality of a casual.

@Knightt_44 I feel it’s too late for him ngl
Too much to overcome too soon

I’m the opposite in F1 because it is a purely objective - look at my latest post on Norris.
I know what I see🤣🤣
Football is not evolving - you also see it in other sports.
Many World Records in athletics from 5-15 years ago still stand in the modern day.
Athletes are no longer evolving - it’s plateaued already.
English
@FormulaUR__ Come on man you gotta hear how you sound.
Its no different from those saying norris is the worst world wdc. Nostalgia bias.
Football is more strucured and systemic now but thats not neccesarily bad. Sports keep evolving
English
And what you’re saying really has no relevance.
They all had great years relative to each other.
But what they’re doing on the pitch, with the ball at their feet, is mediocre compared to the elite players of 10-15 years ago.
Not a single winger in world football can cross, short or dribble like a player of Nani’s calibre.
Chelsea are paying £120m for Morgan freaking Rogers.
A disgrace, in my view.
English
@denizlonso The game has gone Deniz.
Nothing can convince me otherwise.
£120m wingers cannot cross or strike damn ball anymore.
Simples.

@FormulaUR__ Modern day teams would cook the ‘best teams’ of the past btw

Don’t want to be that guy to knock Antonelli down, but this car is making him look better than he actually is. No doubts a fantastic driver but just look how Leclerc is so many quicker in the corners, under braking and corner entry and exit. The Mercedes is just a missile in a straight line, add to that Mercedes sabotaging Russell so they can flex having the youngest WDC, and the corruption to get AUDO upgrades.
