Fam. van Zanten

Crazy Dutch/Ghanian family.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@JaimeFSS @Nanosecso Only the first half of the season because he significantly more experience in junior series. Once Verstappen learned he overcome him and it wasn’t even close anymore.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@dystainak @domdc26 @autosport Ocon who in F3 had the most expensive seat of the grid?

Ohh his family sold their house/company to pay for it?
A property with more value than most people seen in their lifetime.

Alonso yes.

Albon started very rich but luckily proved himself by time money was gone.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@redbullbaby05 If Vettel had like Verstappen 2023 consistency he would have a solid shot for the title in 2018
In 2017 he did deliver consistently the first half of the season allowing him to lead against the slightly faster Mercedes who dropped points that Vettel picked up
Couldn’t keep it up

@salvaterra_rui @CFCBane That is why the nickname only sticks with his haters.

You blame accidents/crashes to the driver when they were not his fault just to make it stick. Despite years of the claim to be debunked you still confidently presented it as evidence.

It shows all your knowledge is lacking.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@salvaterra_rui @CFCBane I recall it started with the point was the nickname, you try to distract with his defensive driving and the clampdown in rules etc.
And when it comes to actual crashes it is less than you make it sound. So there is not enough to make it stick… unless you hate him to begin with

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@nedzo_f1 @effonecasualfan You missed the part that the head of F1 personally pressured for the DSQ of Senna to make Prost champion, this is not conspiracy or speculation but confirmed by Balestre himself.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@there_is_no_if Monza track had like 3 changes in layout between that… even on surface they seemed minor

That said the obvious fastest car of these 4 is the Mercedes

That said 2025 cars were faster and currently Verstappen hold record for fastest F1 lap and fastest F1 race with RB21

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@salvaterra_rui @CFCBane You still bot done enough to justify the nickname… you had to go through all this and came with less crashes and collisions than Lewis did in his first few seasons.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@nedzo_f1 @effonecasualfan Well they tried banning him the first time when it actually was Prost fault because F1 was massively corrupt those days and he wanted Prost to be champion for certain. (Unlike 2021 were they just wanted a late decision regardless of who would win)

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@DaStigg @F1HardWalls4K He probably be embarrassed if you were his fan….

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@nedzo_f1 @effonecasualfan Stewarding for overtaking was barely non-existent, they issued penalties for dangerous driving or obvious illegalities on a car
They relied on drivers basically enforcing the code of conduct among themselves
Doesn’t mean it wasn’t part of the racing etiquette, which is my point

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@Hamtime44LH Hamilton 18 entries, 18 with one of then top teams of the year

Alonso 22 entries, 15 with one of the then top teams of the year.

Yeah you lying,more entries true but Lewis did with better team, considering his teammates been on the podium more often then him.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@AlexLacl @bardsleyta And Kimi was closing in on Lewis in Silverstone 2008 until Ferrari gave him the wrong tires..

If we can use tires as excuse than we can stripe Lewis from his best wins.. Also Lewis went off in Silverstone 2008 (but recovered), China 2007 (beached), Germany (but salvaged in pits)

@Tinaminho0 @yadadoo20 @MotorsportMP4 @racepluscom Just because you been ignorant about certain rules/drivers etiquette that existed doesn't mean it never existed.

That is like saying before they Newton discovered how gravity worked apples would not fall from the tree... Sounds stupid right?? You sounded just like that

@nedzo_f1 @effonecasualfan I had a book: "The Williams-Renault Formula 1 Motor racing book" published in 1994!!

That described exactly what I mentioned. And it was NOT some new concept then, it was the accepted standard back then.

So educate yourself first.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@Tinaminho0 @yadadoo20 @MotorsportMP4 @racepluscom Also you still uneducated, ahead of the apex racing was something that I learned off in the 90's

I literally had the book: "The Williams Renault Formula 1 Motor racing book" from 1994 that described the concept. It has been fine tuned since then, but roughly the same existed.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@Tinaminho0 @yadadoo20 @MotorsportMP4 @racepluscom While you can voluntary drive on the kerbs as part of the tracklimits, another driver may NOT force you on those kerbs, this has been demonstrated when Verstappen did this to Bottas in Monza and Norris in Austria and got penalized for it.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@Tinaminho0 @yadadoo20 @MotorsportMP4 @racepluscom The person showing inability to take correction or even watching is you...

He is clearly forced past the kerbs. So not even touching them.

Also there is a difference between track limits when it comes to what you voluntary drive or what you forced on.

[Fam. van Zanten @Zanquis]

@nedzo_f1 @effonecasualfan That is late after the apex. He is already forcing his way through when it was Massa corner. He should have left space
Going into the corner he bullied Massa into yielding compromising Massa's exit in a not legit way. He was entitled to space on inside but it Massa should dictate
