Re: Was it a mistake for Ferrari to sign Kimi ?
Ferrari needs to get the car to be further up the grid first before they start looking if their drivers are performing. As long as Kimi is closer in terms of points to Alonso than Massa, the decision is justified. That goes without saying, but it's not good enough. Ferrari had a rationale for signi...

But I don't see its relevance to the topic at hand. Exactly. The incident between Raikkonen and Hamilton at the 2008 Belgian Grand Prix has been discussed ten times over.

Re: Hamilton Spa 2008 vs. Rosberg Montreal 2014
I don't even know how these two events are even remotely comparable. Lewis's actions in 2008 gave him an opportunity to mount an overtake that he wouldn't have had if he'd followed the track. Nico was defending his position and went off to avoid touching but crucially the positions didn't change. T...

Re: Rosberg perhaps feeling a little demoralised?
I think Rosberg may have been a touch demoralised immediately after the race. However he'll take heart in the fact that he pushed Hamilton hard all race. What I would really be interested in seeing is another race where he's leading into the first corner, or first lap even. Correct me if I'm wrong ...

Re: Drivers comment about "Alonso vs Vettel"
If its a spec series with racing tires - Hamilton will usually win.
If development, the more the parameters - Then Alonso would win.
Obviously Vettel shows his mastery when carrying an advantage.
