0.059 seconds faster is how far ahead Hamilton is.

That's just a little less than one TENTH of one PERCENT quicker.

I would have to agree that on those timings there is little in it

I think a more valid way to judge would be to compare race performence,
how may times has lewis Beaten bottas from 2nd & vice versa?

I don't know the answer to that one but I am sure Brian could provide the
info

Yeah, so if HAM wins tomorrow it will be not due to the driver but due
to the car.

And if BOT wins, it will not be due to the car but due to the driver.

And if VER wins it will certainly be down to the driver, barring any
external influences.

Nope. I didn't say that, nor do I think it.

But the car plays a much bigger role than the driver.

I certainly didn't say that.

And if VER wins it will certainly be down to the driver, barring any external influences.

Given that the Red Bull is quite obviously the slower car...

...yes; barring other factors beyond car and driver.

He's just not that much better than Bottas.

So if Hamilton is supposed to be the GOAT, what does that make Bottas,
and do you believe it?

'Kitchen Sink' OS Announced

Coding has begun on a new operating system code named 'Kitchen Sink'. The
new
OS will be based entirely on GNU Emacs. One programmer explained, "Since
many
hackers spend a vast amount of their time in Emacs, why not just make it
the
operating system?" When asked about the name, he responded, "Well, it has
been
often said that Emacs has everything except a kitchen sink. Now it will."

One vi advocate said, "What the hell?!?! Those Emacs people are nuts. It
seems
that even with a programming language, a web browser, and God only knows
what
else built into their text editor, they're still not satisfied. Now they
want
it to be an operating system. Hell, even Windows ain't that bloated!"

Yes, Bottas is a superb qualifier (although having been behind throughout practice this was a pretty good effort by Lewis). As always we will see
what happens in the race.

Not sure about that. I think the wind affected HamiltonrCOs second run and might have done the same to Valtteri. We shall never know Efye

Okay, if I've not made some stupid mistake(s), the stats are as follows:

- Hamilton has qualified higher than Bottas 32 times more often than
vice versa (49-22)
- Hamilton has beaten Bottas 32 times more often than vice versa (51-19)
(this doesn't add up to 71 because in round 9 of 2018, both retired
and I haven't bothered nominally assigning positions).
- From starting ahead of Bottas (not necessarily on Pole), Hamilton has
beaten him 43 times
- From starting ahead of Hamilton, Bottas has beaten him 13 times
- From starting behind Bottas, Hamilton has beaten him 6 times
- From starting behind Hamilton, Bottas has beaten him 9 times

I'm not sure that tells you very much, but that's the data.
