Re: "He hit me, Nico hit me" thoughts?
My 2c are; Ros was trying the outside, realized he wasn't going to make it, got out of it, and clipped Ham. We're talking 30mm at 160kp/h... Hardly intentional. Stewards got it right, racing incident and that's that. Small mistake, big drama. Rosberg isn't giving up and neither is Hamilton. It was b...

A few things that jump to my mind, being moderately self aware; I'm an introvert in every sense of the word. If I don't get my 'me time', I get very frustrated and grumpy.

Personally I was worried they were going to look bad. But honestly, poker aside, i think the cars look better proportioned, especially with the low noses and narrower front wings. With the rear end cleaned up the cars have a good 'flow' to them which is pleasing to my eyes. Throw in some sweet liver...
