at this point in their careers they have definitely gained

drivers are never going to.know how to fix issues if they don't know what is wrong in the first place. The only reason the pits know is because they have a mass team monitoring data in the background. Is it that hard to allow technical advice but not.driving advice. This is a team sport afterall. I ...

Some would argue the 5 place grid penalty hurts less the further down the grid you are. I think the points system should be changes so that every starting place on the grid gets points. Makes it more painful for any team to have a gearbox issue. But maybe instead of one driver getting a grid penalty...

w1Y!

so.another rear puncture for Ric. wonder whether this has anything to do with red bulls rumoured way about getting around tyre pressures.

Still haven't seen a.clean fight at the front between the two mercs drivers. This season as a Lewis fan is annoying as hell.

w1Y!

best lewis can hope for tomorrow is 4th. he's not just gonna breeze past the field and to make this worse it's a 1 stop race. he has to get round the first corner without damage first another easy win for niCo and a boring championship race so far. he hasn't done anything gets wrong but he hasnt eve...

Ferrari will use the mediums in practice g merc won't.

They are onky going to need one backup set for the race.

Does make race weekends more exciting with different strategies at play.

w1Y!

Anyone know why lewis pointed his cat outwards at the start. As slow away as he was he should have made vettel go on the outside

w1Y!

Let's give kimi a couple more races in a car he seemingly likes before writing him off.

However I agree. A competitive driver may end up taking points off vettel but they will be much more useful strategically speaking

w1Y!

1. The softer the compound the closer ferrari are. This may be down to less running time on ss and s by merc during testing and practice. Merc showed pace on the medium tyre which I imagine ferrari will struggle to match. In cleaner air I believe the mercs will have the legs on ferrari and at some t...

w1Y!

Before this race merc had almost zero running on ss and s during testing and practice

w1Y!

I'm gonna go with the tyres having evened up the field a bit.

w1Y!

A bet on vettel in aus has to be worth it. I think there are going to be two scenarios. 1. Ferrari are close enough on speed to beat merc in races due to better tyre wear. Alison has generally made cars which are kind on tyres and if they have the speed then they are going to be a real threat. 2. Me...

w1Y!

If the rumours that they had am extra 1 to 1.5 sec advantage last year hidden in their sleeves and they've added even more power this year I reckon they are looking to add cooling to really unleash the beast. However, I'm fully expecting ferrari to Match merc in speed and beat them on race pace. Wha...

Ferrari
Mercedes
Torro rosso - with a ferrari under tge hood I reckon this car will surprise and be strong
Williams
Red bull
Mclaren
Force India
Haas
Renault
Sauber
Manor

w1Y!

I like it. Much less cluttered and better without the purple.

I wonder whether their camo paint with be black and red this time like their front wing

w1Y!

I think Mercedes will slip backwards.

I think their development will give them issues and the tyres won't allow them to compensate.

So we will only get them dominate at a selection of tracks

Ferrari will be much more consistant and vettel will be wdc

w1Y!

Could it also break and stab the driver

w1Y!

I could be wrong but weren't strategies more varied then. Ie if you got held up you could adjust your fuel strategy.

I dont like refueling but strategy at the moment is non existent. Maybe the tyre changes will allow for that

w1Y!

I'm not even sure that is going to stop the full weight or a car from the side? Ie alonso in spa

w1Y!

Free up some of the regs in regards to what can be developed but make it in cost effective areas. Allow a bit more in season testing bit not back to the own track days. Reduce communication to only when they are on the pit straight or in the pits. But my biggest one. Make tyres that can allow full o...

w1Y!

This wouldnt guarentee to stop a massa incident which is the only incident I can remember. Sure there gas been near misses but the cars did what it was suppose to

This looks like it's going to obstruct the drivers view and just another tool for newey and Co to exploit.

w1Y!

So you created an account on a website based on a sport your not watching anymore

Makes sense....,

w1Y!

I would imagine most of BBC f1 crew will be brought in by channel 4 or be snapped up by sky.

I am also betting that channel 4 can't stay away from adverts every 15 mins which will ruin the show and personally will cement me watching it on skyf1

w1Y!

I think the question should be around d what are we expecting in testing. Which areas of the car are rumoured to have big updates.

Merc were clearly prospecting a change of something at Brazil practice with the raised nose section

w1Y!

If I was lewis I'd be asking big questions.

Lap nico first is a right, keeping lewis out till his chances were over is wrong.

Seems to me merc don't give two chits about the drivers but only merc. This mentality will see ferrari pass them as drivers lose trust.

w1Y!

Yes but he didn't lose it from pi$ poor strategy like Hamilton did. He drover well first stint but then lewis showed much greater pace in the second stint Then when the fight was just about to start BAM! Mercedes call rosberg in. Ok that's fine as any racer in that position should be called in But t...

w1Y!

Seen some real immaturity from max

I guess to be expected from his age but he comes across as a spoilt brat sometimes. He is such an existing talent. If he can control his mistakes he really does have a chance at being a future wc

Ferarri

lol all I can think about is how stupid the whole thing must sound to a casual viewer hearing "Lewis has been told if he doesn't turn his engine down his competitor will be told he is allowed to turn his up!" I think it just shows their intention all along, lead car wins Lead car wins is right, not...

w1Y!

You forgot to put official in the title. Going to this early to claim dibs on the thread and you didn't officiate it

I envisage merc making a back step and Williams falling back further

w1Y!

All this talk about lewis choosing strategy is not what I heard. I head his race engineer telling him they were extending the second stint and primes for the end. Ultimately the decision to keep him out killed his race and nothing after that would have helped him win the race. Mercedes know this jus...

w1Y!

I think it's pretty clear to see. Lewis was 0.5 secs a lap faster in the middle stint and kept his tyres fresher. Why would they not pit him immediately after nico. Makes absolutely no sense. Instead they went with a losing strategy and it clearly the pit walls call to keep him on softs as we heard ...

w1Y!

JohnnyGuitar wrote:We were called mardy Brits and Lewis fan boys for suggesting Merc had favoured Nico in Brazil - well, it's absolutely clear this week how they wanted this race to pan out.

Absolutely. It's the bull excuses they make uo as well

w1Y!

No matter what merc say they are full of fairy cakes

They pulled nico in because lewis was within Drs and then they didn't pit him straight after because they knew lewis would be too close with his speed so they decided to absolutely shafted him

w1Y!

Absolutely shafted lewis this race.

Absolute disgrace by Mercedes. This has tiddled me right off and made me lose a lot of respect for them

I would seriously be question merc if I was lewis and would have lost a little trust from this disaster

w1Y!

Nico will win this quite comfortably I think.

I reckon kimi will get lewis in turn 1

w1Y!

Alonso constancy isn't at question

His qualy speed and overall speed now is

w1Y!

Button sure does like to live off two successful seasons out of how many.

Rosberg would beat button quite convincenly these days.

It's easy to say what he's saying when he can blame the care

w1Y!

Lewis has said they have changes something on the car and I can only assume it was in reaction to Singapore. Seems a bit odd considering its still a mystery to them.
