If a sport is as simple to evaluate such that a single photo can evaluate not only tallent but also performance is not really a sport in my opinion. In Football there is two distinct and extremely different sides of the ball, Offense and defense. F1 does not have a ball to be possessed but in fact there is a distinct advantage to being the lead car as well as some advantages to being the car attempting to pass. I could go on for hours upon hours and pages upon pages but in the end tallent of the driver or even complete lack of tallent can't even be confirmed across multiple seasons. Is it the car, is it the driver, is it the pit engineer, is it the team principal, is it the design team, is it bias by the stewards...?

This statement is completely ludicrous.

This is the list of World Champions ranked by number of championships won:

Michael Schumacher
Juan Manuel Fangio
Alain Prost
Jack Brabham
Jackie Stewart
Niki Lauda
Nelson Piquet
Ayrton Senna
Alberto Ascari
Jim Clark
Graham Hill
Emerson Fittipaldi
Mika Häkkinen
Fernando Alonso
Nino Farina
Mike Hawthorn
Phil Hill
John Surtees
Denny Hulme
Jochen Rindt
James Hunt
Mario Andretti
Jody Scheckter
Alan Jones
Keke Rosberg
Nigel Mansell
Damon Hill
Jacques Villeneuve
Kimi Räikkönen
Lewis Hamilton
Jenson Button

You can't find a better list of drivers from any other series - with few exceptions, these drivers represent the best of the best.

If anything, F1 is THE racing series when it comes to driver talent.

I read this forum sometimes in complete amazement by what is written about this sport...

Is that you, RedBullRacingChick ? Nice try. I think your boyfriend, husband or whomever should be able to explain what your first motorcycle could be or the difference between F1 and other motorsports.
