So, this is circuit racing. You go around the same track (in circles, as our wives constantly tell us). Once you're in the car and done it 3 or 4 times, there is nothing new again. Why do you need a simulator to tell you anything more? Last weekend I went pro-Karting, the first time in 10 years. Nev...

Then he goes out in FP1 and sets the fastest time.

Seems he has a point here...

Is Rosberg doing this deliberately?

My thought: Lewis was in the best position to battle for a PODIUM, not necessarily a win. We are unable to use Rosberg's pace and strategy as benchmark for Mercedes, as he just is not capable of taking the fight to anyone - mentally. Lewis would have gone on the S-Softs and at least tried to grab a...

neek, agreed. The game is now on. Nico is Hamiltons only issue for this race, and must try and finish in front of him

Issue is Rosberg will be on the faster tyre at the end

Did you see how Nando went over the top of the Ferrari, he could have easily collected Kimi's head.

Yes.

So, what I wrote in the subject line i possibly going to get me in a lot of conversations which I generally hoped to stay out of, but here goes with my explanation: I remember Kimi as a fast, aggressive driver who is there for one job only, to drive flat out I remember Kimi as a Character, without a...

It's proven impossible for Rosberg to "forget Lewis" and win without Hamilton being on the back foot (self inflicted or not): . . . Spain (Ham bad start). In some ways he's the best F1 wingman in history. Nico wins pretty reliably when Hamilton has a bad weekend. So when Rosberg drives better than ...

Hamilton tried to fight early on, had his issues, and defied the teams wishes in the end and began dropping his time deficit to Nico hen the team asked nicely for him to just bring the car home. This is the difference between to 2. Lewis is ALWAYS hungry... Imagine no pit stop issues, no traffic tod...

This thread has gone many directions. The topic is Nico accepting the supporting role in the team, this year to date. Last year, both drivers were looking to cement their position 'to' the Team, and based on the facts, this is how I believe they did, and how they were viewed COMING INTO THE SEASON: ...

Teach206

I wasn't particularly impressed with either of his early overtakes, he outbraked himself into turn 1 both times and relied on the Ferraris avoiding contact. Vettel in particular defended really badly against him, he should have just let Rosberg outbreak himself and swung under him. This I disagree ...

I'm not in Cape Town, or even close (beautiful Barbados), but I also think that in this connected world you could get benefit from having writers anywhere.

It was said today that Suaber's 65hp boost helps, so it seems that lump is now very closely matched.

Teach206

How telling is it that this issue opens up JUST at the point where Kimi catches him. We've seen him crack in the same way under pressure last year, so my take is that he found an excuse to lose the spot and will rinse it for all its worth now...

Teach206

He says he still had brakes but the pedal went down.

So he didn't lose brakes, just the feel.

He also says he could have held off Kimi.

His goal was 2nd.

Has he spoken in the pen yet? I stepped away for a bit...

Will wait and see what Nico days in the pen, but he still looks like he's ok with being beaten by Lewis.

In q3 first run Nico ran his q2 tyres again? Didn't he only run once in q2 and does anyone know if Hamilton used his q2 tyres again? I would thing that the tires they used in the first run in Q3 were the ones they used in the second run in Q1. Therefore not their tires for the first stint in the ra...

Not quite sure why kimi fans are so happy. Think it's pretty clear he's not allowed to beat vettel. His only hope is beating vettel into turn 1. Lewis needs to get to first ahead and then try and build a gap I have a feeling he won't be able to shake seb off because he will need to manage tyres too...

Teach206

Today Nico said (after Q3) that he was looking to save his tyres and underestimated Vettel, as 3 Rd was not the plan. He did not say he was going for pole, just that he wanted enough pace to cover Ferrari. He also is the only Merc driver outspokenly worried about Ferrari. he no longer talks about Le...

No one is mentioning Kimi in 4th. This is his best chance so far and he has been starting well.
