Courtesy of  Kingshark I'd like to present a game for the downtime.

 

It is very simple, you just state two compareble options, could be drivers,teams,circuits, you name it! The next poster chooses his/her prefered option and keeps the ball rolling by asking a queston of their own for the next poster to answer. A short motivation is great too.

 

For example, poster one starts: Turbo or NA engines?

 

Poster two answers: Turbo. I like the fact that they are more road relevant. And then puts a question in of their own.

 

 

Remember try to be quick with the replies so we don't get several answers to the same question. And no argueing about others prefered choices.

 

 

 

So, open wheelers or sportscars?

Edited by ollebompa, 28 May 2014 - 04:07.

[mzvztag]

Open wheelers. Because they are more purebred racing cars in appearance.

 

My question:

Fangio or Ascari?

[ollebompa]

Fangio. Five titels, need i say more?

 

Sebs 2013 season or Michaels 2004?

[Maustinsj]

Seb's 2013 as Michael's 2004 made me switch off F1 for ages.

 

Prost or Senna?

Edited by Maustinsj, 27 May 2014 - 19:56.

[Coops3]

Senna. Talent trumps tactics every time IMO.

[RubalSher]

Monza. Topmost speeds on the calendar.

2007 or 2010 F1 season?

. 2007 for the fact Kimi won the title when most were expecting Lewis or Fernando which leads me onto my question. Alonso or Hamilton?

[RubalSher]

Hamilton. Beat Alonso in his rookie year.

 

Refueling or ban on refueling?

[Wiggy]

Hamilton. Beat Alonso in his rookie year.

Refueling or ban on refueling?

Refuelling - better tactics than the current liquorice wheels

Montoya or Hamilton ?

[RubalSher]

Hamilton. Have vague memories of Montoya but I must admit Montoya seemed exciting enough too. Give it to Hamilton though coz he has been might consistent since his rookie season.

 

DRS: yes or no?

[SR388]

Hamilton. Have vague memories of Montoya but I must admit Montoya seemed exciting enough too. Give it to Hamilton though coz he has been might consistent since his rookie season.

Best Mclaren diving pair: Mika and David or Lewis and JB?

 

Lewis and JB. Two champs in one team.

 

Flavio in a thong or Max in a Nazi orgy?

[Afterburner]

As per the old regulations, narrower--but preferably, proportionate.

Audi R18 or Peugeot 908?

EDIT: Rats. That'd probably be Cheever for his commentary as of late; I don't think he's that bad.

But my above question stands: Audi R18 or Peugeot 908?

Edited by Afterburner, 27 May 2014 - 20:45.

[Victor_RO]

Wide cars trumps them all.

 

 

Eddie Cheever or Michael Andretti? 

 

Michael Andretti, because he didn't find his way yet into the commentary booth to bore us all to death.

908. Always been a fan of the 908 in all forms.

Wankel or Diesel? 

[Kingshark]

Nice, you finally opened this thread.   

 

Diesel

 

Juan Montoya or Ralf Schumacher?

[scheivlak]

Ralf - if only for all those passes he made in the 2003 Hungarian GP while being so nice that he allowed Monty to finish 3rd 

 

Next one: Montoya or Jacques Villeneuve?

Edited by scheivlak, 27 May 2014 - 21:48.

[noikeee]

Jacques but not by much, they're kinda similar career tracjetories except Jacques took the title.

 

Martin Brundle or Johnny Herbert?

[scheivlak]

Well, if nobody answers that - Martin Brunde, surviving horrible crashes in Monaco and Melbourne vs. Johnny who had that horrific crash at Brands. Of course Johnny is a GP winner but then there's all those things that Martin did in a Jag.

 

So - Jean Alesi or Gerhard Berger?

[Kingshark]

Alesi was more of a natural IMO.

 

Interlagos or Montreal?

[SR388]

Alesi was more of a natural IMO.

Interlagos or Montreal?

Montreal. One is a wheelhouse for Lewis, the other is cursed for him.


V8 f1, v10 f1 or v12 f1?

[keiichi]

Alonso 2012 or Schumacher 1998?

[Raemius]

Honda F1 - proper racers, not just money bags

 

Monaco or Singapore?

[ollebompa]

Monaco. Singapore is great but for historic reasons and the fact I like the layout better I'll say Monaco.

 

F1 or IndyCar?

Edited by ollebompa, 28 May 2014 - 04:03.

[slideways]

IndyCar. Because mechanical grip, heavy steering, loud engines, and danger.

Neither

Natalie Pinkham or Claire Williams?

Answering "neither" is against the spirit of this game.

 

Valencia 2012 or Bahrain 2014? (which was more exciting)

[Zava]

Claire Williams.

Valencia 2012 or Bahrain 2014? (which was more exciting)

bahrain 2014. it was full on exciting, while in valencia I think many of us felt robbed.

Mika Häkkinen or Kimi Räikkönen?

Mika. Late 90's is romaticized in my mind.

Long Beach or Surfers Paradise?

Edited by ollebompa, 28 May 2014 - 06:32.

[FredrikB]

Long Beach for its history

 

Ayrton Senna or Jim Clark?

[Jejking]

Senna. Very close but based on what i know I liked Senna better for being more involved and also having balls and talent in spades.

Max Verstappen or Robin Frijns? (Upcoming talents towards f1)

[Schuttelberg]

Senna. Very close but based on what i know I liked Senna better for being more involved and also having balls and talent in spades.

Max Verstappen or Robin Frijns? (Upcoming talents towards f1)

 

Max. If he keeps a level head, he'll go places.

 

Brazil 08? Brazil 12?

[Zava]

Max. If he keeps a level head, he'll go places.

 

Brazil 08? Brazil 12?

doesn't matter, Vettel was a main performer in both    probably '08, it was dramatic up until the last corner, while '12 had drama at the beginning and the middle, more championship leader changes, but went flat at the end of the race.

 

suzuka '90 or adelaide '94?

[as65p]

suzuka '90 or adelaide '94?

Suzuka of course as it wasn't done at pussy speed like most other fouls.

 

Lotus 98T or Lotus 79?

[Spillage]

Has to be the 79. It won championship, after all.

Lotus 88 or Brabham BT46B?

Edited by Spillage, 28 May 2014 - 09:15.

[keiichi]

Brabham BT46B. That was a killer car and the fact that it got banned after just one race just adds to it.

 

Stewart or Lauda?
