Hamilton, Bottas & Hulkenberg for me

ajax

I hope Ted Kravitz continues to ask the questions that get under Engineers and Team Principles skin. His charismatic presentation of his Notebook and Pit Lane interviews is something I always look forward to.
Long may he continue doing this.

Does anyone really think Hamilton is to blame for the clash? Everyone there (including Nico) thinks it's Rosbergs fault. 50/50 Either driver could have avoided contact, they were racing for the lead. I'm with you Blinky. The fact the Ham was ahead, does not mean that he should not look at the mirro...

I've listened to team radio again and Lewis did not refuse. He merely informed the team if Nico got closer he'd move over.

ajax

No case to answer, LH made the right call and I hope he does it again if the situation happens again.

Lauda understands more than most, good article that.

It's made wonder if Rosberg wants everything handed to him on a plate. During qualifying he was heard on Team Radio asking for a advice on driving, then he's on Team Radio during the race enquiring why LH won't let him pass!!!! After the race Nico insisted to Natalie that he never asked LEwis to mo...

Any advantage gained was quickly given back, that's racing and that's how I voted.

Question and answer without "Bias" please: Was Hamilton right to not back off and let Rosberg pass? My answer is 100% he was right not to. For himself, yes of course, however he wants to be careful, Nico is still ahead in the championship & the drivers aren't playing the team game in difficult situ...

ajax

Again, as i said, Merc f***ed up LH. Put him on slower tires when he was anyway ahead of Rosberg, and on top of that those tires can't last enough. Pathetic. Blehh... Lewis shouldnt even be in top 10 this race. SC and Merc strategy idiots favored him over ROS to get him this high Wow how sour Well ...

So 2 races in a row Hamilton starts from either the back of the grid or the pit lane and he gets a podium both times. Mercedes should look more closely at this and make sure his car doesn't fail for the rest of the season. Must be puzzling for Merc, Fitted him with an exploding brake disc, firebomb...

. Something is VERY wrong within the Mercedes team . It is a great shame that a team that should walk this year's championship is showing itself up as deeply flawed. Whoever is the real boss of the team should get everyone together and make them work as a team for the team. Too many German chiefs??...

Hamilton was lucky to spin and not horribly damage the car and being in last before a safety car didn't cost him anything Vettel was lucky to spin and not horribly damage the car Hamilton was lucky safety car came out, made up 28 second deficit without any effort Ricciardo was lucky that the top 4 ...

Pinkers hassling Nico And so she should, turn the screw, ask all the questions we want answers for. He's annoyed and guarded. I though his responses were excellent. "These things happen" and " We need to talk about it internally" Mature If the shoe was on the other foot, would we still be reading t...

I think he might be, certainly sounds like it.

Alonso ran a fine race, pity his tyres went before the end. But it was still phenomenal to keep that Ferrari in second. He proved how wasted his talent is in that car today He looked talented when he cut that chicane ... ;) Ditto Lewis binning it at the second corner of the race... Well, things lik...

Agree with that mate

ajax

Fernando is the only one who was able to recover from the first safety car period and ended the race in front of both Mercs (in his - citing Lauda - fairy cakes of a car). So my vote for the drive of the day clearly belongs to Alonso. As much as I want to agree with you, I'm still in awe with how H...

Great damage limitation for Hamilton. Starts pitlane team mate starts on pole thought the gap would increase by at least 15 points and he decreases it on the day. No.. Damage control by merc. Lewis was as average as fish n chips today... Lucky chap. Lucky I'm not a Hamilton fan per se, but I was sh...

ajax

Brilliant race, massive respect to LH, what a drive, but as I said earlier, glad he finished behind Alonso

ajax

Think about when would be the best time, and what would be the easiest way to "arrange" the season. * First race of the season - to set up the entire show. Use a slightly duff rubber cover on a spark plug. Something that wouldn't happen in a million years. While you're at it, crock Vettel as well. ...

ajax

My prediction - 1515hrs

ajax

I wish Hamilton all the best today, everybody knows he'll fight all day.

As long he finishes behind Alonso...as a Ferrari fan it's the least I can say

ajax

No conspiracy theories, just bad luck

ajax

Those comments from Hamilton fans are embarrassing. Unbelievable. It's not surprising people are upset. I feel a bit sorry for Hamilton even though I desperately want Nico to win the championship. If this same thing was happening to Nico in a McLaren against Hamilton I wonder how I would feel. I al...

There is no discussion.
Mercedes would NOT favour one driver over the other or manipulate any situation which compromises one drivers chances over the other. Crazy!

So, it's a NO from me.

I'm getting sick of everyone saying that Rosberg would not be a true champion if he won this year. He has matched Lewis on many occasions this year, a driver who is considered by the majority of fans as on of the top 2 on the grid. Back when mechanical failures were the norm, we did not say that th...

Conspiracy theorists are on it today. German manufacturer, German car, German driver blah, blah, blah. All reported there on Sky.
