Then again it may be a good idea to let Bob knock off all the rust for the remainder of the season so he is in tip top shape before 2018. A simulator can help but it won't get him to that 10/10ths level.

Joylon Palmer fans would not be happy about that.

INDYCAR?S NEXT car design: Bolder, safer, even more thrilling







I still think the bodywork directly in front of the rear wheels looks out of place but they look a hell of a lot better. I'll be watching Indy car regularly next year.

Edit - Spa 91 is on now.

Much improved! Straight on from the side is the best view so far. I might actually watch Indy next year.

JV > JB > ROS

Y'all letting his recent (decade+) of annoyance and recent feels (JB/ROS) cloud your opines.

JV won CART Championship (when it was still something) and the 500. Beat a better Schumacher while sure, driving a better Williams car.

JB was out on his *** in 2009, got saved (luckily) by Brawn who gave him a world beater for the first part of the championship. Held on to win lone WDC because the gap he had early on to the field was amazeballs. His teammate won 2x over the latter part of the year while he got into fisticuffs with Kamuisan. Had some great drives in the McLaren's, but then again stuck around passed the expiration in 2015 and 2016 driving **** boxes. Nice career move.

ROS was good not great. Gifted the car(s) of a lifetime but had #blessed44 as a teammate. One juan which I value greatly, but still had such a gap to the field he only had to beat juan car for the title, and knew everything about that car and driver cause teammates =

JB > ROS due to his 2010-2012 McLaren drives.

JV > JB/ROS coz CART/500/MS victories.

I took a close look at the races JV won in Indy in '95 and I'm not impressed.

ROS is probably the best of the three, but he's being measured directly against juan of the best ever. If he had a slightly worse teammate, he very well could have been a 4 x WDC. Lewis never destroyed him - or any of his teammates for that matter. Maybe Lew isn't that great...The only teammate he ever crushed was Heiki.

Has any other all time great ever had such consistently fast/competitive teammates?
