Vettel didn't respect the pole. He should not have overtaken Leclerc and then none of this would have happened.

Ryu28

If this had not been a back marker trying to overtake the race leader, but simply a fight for position, who would have got the penalty? In my opinion it would have been Max. Is there a written rule that switches the blame when the race leader is involved? I honestly don't know, that's why I'm askin...

Ryu28

Understanding more of the context of the crash, I feel Max is wholey to blame. Ocon was behind Max for a couple of laps, catching at 3 seconds per lap, he gained permission from his team to unlap himself, with this message being relayed to Max. During the overtake, Ocon got in front, and as the tur...

Ryu28

Firstly if a backmarker wants to unlap themselves it is his responsibility to do so without risk. He is not entitled to fight for track position and impede the race leaders. Secondly there is no point doing so unless you are significantly faster and are able to pull away afterwards, otherwise you wo...

Vettel and Ferrari are battling for the world drivers and constructors championships. Max is not, so he has no right interfering with battles which do not concern him. He should know his place and should have backed off. Sadly his antics handed Lewis an undeserved victory and probably a fourth title...

Ryu28

Well Sir Jackie Stewart believes Hamilton must shoulder some of the blame.

Ryu28

It will probably be better if he never comes back to F1 which means his legendary status remains intact.

Ryu28

It's always been accepted that F1 needs Ferrari, more than Ferrari needs F1.

As a consequence the extra bonus payments are to keep Ferrari sweet, otherwise they may decide to walk away from the sport.

Let's hope we can have another 7 page + thread about it.

I noticed Hamilton sprayed champagne at some people standing at the side of the podium. I'm waiting for the 10 page outraged thread!

Inappropriate post removed.

Alonso's point or whatever he ends up with might well be the most expensive paid for by a team!

Ryu28

But I do like the idea that everybody on that track came in for inters because of the weather, yet one of the only two to get it right did it for reasons other than the weather.[/quote] Exactly, I don't see any "Vettel got lucky pitstop" threads. He gained multiple places and a podium from his. Hami...

Williams advertised for a race strategist towards the end of last year. I was going to apply but didn't in the end because I had two other offers that I wanted to pursue which I felt I was better suited to. I'm thinking now that I might have been better suited than I first thought and possibly bett...

Rosberg, Hulkenberg and Alonso. Rosberg because he was faster than Hamilton today, simple as. Also overtook both Williams after being compromised again by second driver strategy. Hulkenberg, brilliant start and got up to fifth. Held up the big guns again, and finished solidly. I rushed into picking...

It doesn't surprise me at all Kimi is the most popular driver and Hamilton doesn't even figure in the top 3. Kimi tells his engineer to shut up he knows what he's doing. We fans love it!! Kimi speaks his mind he's not some corporate PR man. Brilliant! Hamilton tells his engineer to shut up he knows ...

Ricciardo gave Vettel a right spanking.

I would love to see round 2 and how that pans out.

Ryu28

I think what ElevenTenths is referring to is the fact that Hamilton mentally beats himself quite often and he doesn't really seem to learn from it. Off the top of my head... in 2007 Alonso got under his skin, in 2008 he was very mistake-prone (fortunately for him Massa was his only real competition...

Ryu28

Inexperience really, he thought he could overtake at Monaco, he will know better for future.

Ryu28

Interesting, I would've thought Lewis had a larger proportion of McLaren's stats 2007-2012. Yet McLaren's last WCC is still with Hakkinen-Coulthard combo. There were quite strong pairs after them; Rai&DC, Rai&JPM, Alo&Ham, But&Ham but that Constructors title never came again. The best chance came i...

I expect Fernando to reach 53 wins, Jenson to reach 29, Hamilton to reach 40. I do not have a guess about Vettel&Raikkonen as of now. Please explain this. What makes you think Hamilton will win another 4 races. Alonso will win another 21 and Jenson another 14. To put that in to context you expect J...

As i have recently mentioned in another thread it seems to me that the outraged are the usual suspects that just can't help themselves but to find fault with every action or words that Hamilton does regardless of how correct or insignificant that may be!

Getting drenched in champagne = first world problem.

Anyone who thinks differently needs to get a reality check.

Ryu28

Vettel and Webber didn't spray the champagne directly to face from a very close distance. That is the difference. Ok so next time Hamilton just needs to hold the bottle down near his crotch and jerk it from a distance ... Exactly. Webber's case was not criticized on current serious scale because of...

Ryu28

I ask you again why this stat is more important than outright points scoring? Or why it is more important than outright finishes ahead? You're good in finding obscure stats (I can actually appreciate that) but you're terrible at interpreting them and making conclusions out of them. When did i say t...

Ryu28

As much as the team is important (they provide the car ultimately), nobody ever won anything of consequence in F1 by being a 'team player'. I'd have some sympathy for Nico if he'd attacked Lewis on track thinking "you're compromising my strategy so I might as well have a go" rather than thinking "y...

Ryu28

The problem for Alonso is he is no spring chicken. We are clearly in a period of Mercedes dominance which will probably continue for at least the next few seasons before someone else comes to the top. It is not inconceivable Hamilton could be a 3 or 4x WDC before Alonso gets the chance to add to his...

Ryu28

I guess it's understandable, Red Bull are winners they are not here to make up the numbers.

Ryu28

I guess Rosberg will need to play his cards closer to his chest in future.

Perhaps do what Vettel did, who always seemed able to pull out a couple of tenths from nowhere on Webber in the final run of Q3.

Ryu28

What am I reading in this thread. To me it's clear that rosberg isn't quite at lewis's level Come race day. I don't think there is particularly any shame in that and there will be days when he is faster. It was clear today and lewis even said he had additional pace if he needed it. What I dont get ...

With the amount of money F1 generates no team should be in trouble. This all comes back to bernie and the top teams hogging all the money. Fix the prize money problems and the bottom teams wouldn't be dropping off. Income inequality, This series is one great example. F1 has always operated on the b...

2014 changed nothing for me. I've followed Hamilton since he was in karting and for certain he likes to drive flat out, he wants to win and not interested in second, and he wants to entertain the fans. He is very adaptable and he demonstrated that in GP2. I think he didn't like the fact that he cou...

As others have said on this thread, the season is over and McLaren now have all the data and stats so why are they still unable to make a decision? It wouldn't surprise me if it is a factor outside of McLaren's control, namely they need to consult with Alonso to see who he prefers to have as his num...

if ryu knows as much as he thinks he knows about the situation then why isnt his last post being taken seriously? :? i would explain but i think the reason is obvious. Jenson Button himself does not know the reason why he has not been offered an extension by Mclaren and is getting frustrated and ap...

Ryu28

If Button is as good as some people think he is and age is not a problem etc. then why doesn't he have any F1 offers or options available to him?

The reason is obvious, the team bosses and decision makers simply aren't interested in him.

Ryu28

At some point in the future I have no doubt Ron Dennis will look to bring his boy home.
