Red Bull don't have Mr Right, they have Mr Right-Now. They favour the drive who is winning.

If Sergio out performs Max, I think people will be shocked how quickly the focus of the team shifts.

The state of the debate about the referendum displayed the absolute contempt with which a disturbingly large amount of our elected officials view the electorate. Both sides were more concerned about winning their personal battles and scoring points over each other than actually openly debating the i...

The reality is that the FIA stewards that are in charge to administrate those rules, disagreed with you. Nico was not at fault, he had right. Time to get over it. I will put this as clearly and as simply as I can : I really, really don't care who was at fault. I really don't. You, on the other hand...

I'm not sure I'd agree that there is a significant case for punishing both drivers, although I do agree with you that had they been drivers from two different teams there would have been a far bigger fuss about it being made in the paddock, so we are in agreement that the stewards will undoubtedly ...

PaDee

The end result is the same, true. But unless I misunderstand you, it appears you believe that the stewards are unwilling to take action and so have worded things accordingly. Apologies if this is not the case. I think it's more straightforward than that and they genuinely believe that Lewis wasn't ...

PaDee

If they stated that Lewis was significantly along side, then Nico has to be punished. I disagree with that. They have enough leeway to decide that even though Hamilton was significantly alongside Rosberg (therefore Rosberg technically broke the rule), it wasn’t deliberate or flagrant enough to warr...

[ Oh behave. You were making a big issue about certain words that were used and I gave a reason why they were used. Nothing more. I am taking the words of the stewards at face value, nothing more nothing less. But you are giving them the meanings that are opposite to what said. You speculate left a...

I wouldn't get too worked up over the wording. It is the only way that the decision can be worded, otherwise someone would have to be punished. That's OK, don't get too worked up over the wording. Just recognize it and acknowledge, that would do fine. Like I said, its the only way it an be worded. ...

And apparently, a small fraction of a second was not considered by the same stewards to be "significantly beside him", or otherwise driver 44 would be said to had have right as per the rule, and not that he but believed that he had right. But you may interpret any way you wish, of course. The full ...

Oh dear, aren't we the keyboard warrior? I have no problem with people not taking my opinion as gospel and I'm quite happy to agree to disagree with others on here. I do have a problem with posters casting unwarranted slurs upon others but I accept than there will always be those whose keyboard mak...

To what end? Does an observation need an end? It does what it says on the tin and that is that I am yet to see a post from you agreeing with anything Hamilton says or does. Normally it does, yes. Otherwise I could arbitrarily say that I have yet to see a post from you disagreeing with whatever Hami...

PaDee

Didn't realise you were following my posts that closely. But if you were, you'd note that on the "Who will win the WDC" thread I've said I think it will be him as he's better than Nico. I've consistently said that I think him to be one of the top three drivers on the grid. Do I have to think the su...

Hamilton is explaining why he feels that he doesn't feel any responsibility to the sport in the context of governance - that is the context in which the question "Do you feel any responsibility to the sport" which is posed as a follow on to a question asking if he'd like to have more say in the gove...

I guess I'm thinking that if it's obvious to us that the current aero rules stifle close racing, then it must be obvious to the engineers and team managers who are not stupid by any measure. And if they still choose to do nothing about it... well that's the only conclusion I can draw. Lewis has giv...

In Q1 and Q2 the fastest car at the 6 or 7 minute mark should go through, with the car with the fastest time at each 90 seconds progressing to the next stage. Q3 should be as it was before the changes. Can't be any worse.

PaDee

:lol: I guess one can justify anything with a little effort. So now it is a failing on the part of Alonso, Vettel, Schumi, Prost, Senna, Lauda, and on and on and on ... to have not convinced a top team that they were worthy of a top seat from the start. How did I not see it? _______________________...

I did read the transcript, and I'm not wrong. 40 Lewis Hamilton Peter Bonnington It’s incredibly dangerous through turn seven. It’s really dangerous around that place but I can stay out. 40 Peter Bonnington Lewis Hamilton Copy that Lewis we think we would damage the inters if we put them on now so ...

PaDee

IMO you'd have to be a pretty fanatical Lewis fan to believe that Lewis' pit stop had nothing to do with Rosberg catching him v quickly, but rather that he knew that it was the right time to change for inters. The decision to pit was forced upon him bearing in mind that Nico was FAR faster at that ...

I read a quote on mtv3 by Lauda that the thing they haven't agreed on in the contract is there amount of free time Lewis demands in order to pursuit his musical career. Oh for gawds sake I really hope that this isn't the case. Hamilton is one of my favorite drivers but I just wish he would focus 10...

PaDee

I think that those claiming that Nico's performance is still affected by Spa are doing him a serious disservice. This would indicate to me that he is so mentally fragile that he should not consider any form of career where he may get told off by someone. Its more likely that the pressure of his firs...

It's like water fights with kids innit. Squirting people who have their own water pistol or who are part of the action is a-okay. Spraying someone (especially someone who can't reasonably escape) close up in the face while they cringe away is probably worth having a quiet word about toning down the...

Seriously, Alien? I obviously don't get those media sources, but this sure seems like something not worthy of any credible news source, though controversy could of course spread the story.

You have just explained exactly how Nico impeded Lewis. So, let me make sure I understand you. You are saying Nico impeded Lewis because Lewis chose to get off the racing line while he was still six car lengths behind Nico, therefore giving Nico no chance to pull over to the right before the corner...

Ok, I've watched the incident in slo-mo and frame by frame and this is what I could see, trying to be as objective as I can. As the two cars exit the esses they are both on the racing line and Lewis is about 6 or 7 car lengths behind Nico (do I have this right?) Lewis uses all of the road and goes ...

PaDee

Was it a deliberate ploy to impede Hamilton? No. I suspect that once he backed off, in a split second he saw a chance to be last over the line, but like many plans made on the fly it went wrong. Did Rosberg impede Hamilton? Yes, of course he did. If it was a different team, Nico would have a penalty...

Maybe VDG badmouthing Sauber in the open has made other teams wary about employing him. Sutil was in a similar situation but kept things private & amended things in a sober way as you never through which direction an opportunity may come knocking. More likely that Sutil was bought off with this sea...
