    It’s simple, really. When Hamilton was dominant, everyone wanted Verstappen to go get him. Now that the paradigm has shifted, we look at Lando hoping Max’s reign is over. After that, we will look at some new guy who has to dethrone Lando.

    Lando can only hope to win a couple world titles before this next one comes along.

    Oh and Lando vs Oscar can turn into a real Hamilton Rosberg situation so I’m looking forward to that. I have yet to see Oscar phased about anything yet though.

      Oscar is the better driver, he just lacks a bit of experience. That will even out. Then he’ll beat Norris on a regular basis.

        I’ve been a huge fan of Oscar since he joined Prema in F3. His racecraft and overall personality make him the type of driver that can take it really far.

        It’s something I also thought I’d see in Dennis Hauger, sadly his F2 run has been disappointing compared to Oscar’s.

        I hope you’re right but Lando is not over his peak. I just hope he drops this sad sack attitude of undervalueing his performance. I understand he still has a lot to win but the way he talks, the way he looks so unhappy, this will be his undoing if he keeps it up.
