Re: Rightio. Who's it gunna be??

If its not Wehrlein i'll be shocked. Everyone is tied up with a contract, its not a quick phone call to get people out of a contract and its so late in the year. They were quick to get Pascal into that tyre test earlier in the week and they've been left in the lurch, the sensible thing would be to g...

I really hope the cars are closer next season, bit of a joke that Lewis has paced his race so slowly and still has a 5 sec lead over the red bulls

Re: Austrian GP Qualifying and Race Thread

Nico with a brake problem obviously explains his going deep/straight on. I don't quite agree with that. It seemed like he braked just about as well as Hamilton. He had slowed his car down enough to turn in earlier but didn't. This is pretty clear-cut to me. He tried to prevent Hamilton from turning...

He's just won his 3rd world title do you really think he gives a toss about Rosberg, he was just giving him the hat he gave Vettel the other hat but vettel didnt put it back on the table he accepted it. Rosbergs just frustrated he probably regrets it already.
