Yes, if something can be done to restructure the track to allow overtaking. Going by today's race, any of the top teams could have won this race if they were just ahead. Didn't matter if you had someone with fresh tyres on someone with 30 lap old ones. The few that tried ended up in incidents.

Snoozed through the better part of this race, no idea who to give this to. However, if there was a team of the race award, pretty sure I wouldn't award it to Mercedes!

This is ridiculous. I was one of those who paid for the app last time around, but asking to pay 2.5 times more for this year is plain stupid. F1 keeps moaning about losing audiences.. Well, it will really have to fight to keep a hold of its existing fans at this rate. Wow.

Schumi4ever

Funny thing is, F1 2013 probably had a much closer leading field than what 2014 has had so far. But even in the races where Mercs haven't hit reliability issues, we have seen a lot of close knit racing, and that in my view makes this year much better than the previous year/formula. The pecking order...

Laura, your theory fails to take into account that Redbull isn't really the best of the rest all the time. Williams are constantly challenging them, and even with Alonso, Ferrari too are poking their noses into that battle. Yes, If Ricciardo keeps putting in podium level performances, and if both Me...

Eh. Was expected. Lotus need the cash from him to stay afloat. For most of the smaller teams, its a lot about who can bring them the cash to stay in F1 rather than who is the most talented. Unfortunately, that's just the way the F1 cash payout structure is, and unless the overall budget to make and ...

Rosberg shouldn't really have a battle, or at least not as much as he would have had if Hamilton had qualified higher, so i expect he can take it easy and nurse the car. Am guessing no reliability issues for Rosberg this time, and Hamilton to fight back and maybe even get a fairytale podium.

Long run wise it seems Williams, Mercedes and RBR are pretty close. Ferrari, McLaren and force India trailing but close as well. Long runs on soft tyres: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HHnKpZtypA0/U8lw665ZPTI/AAAAAAAACrU/-_-3xY477-s/s1600/FP2+-+Soft+runs.png The two Mercedes and Ricciardo look strongest...

Looking at the long runs, Redbull and others did seem closer, but i think a gap still exists, and more importantly Mercs seemed to go a tad longer on their long run on supers before the drop-off than the redbulls. Could be significant. We also don't know fuel loads, and exactly how conservative Merc...

Schumi4ever

Looks like Mercs will retain their advantage over the rest, and Hamilton might well hold something over Rosberg given his 36.503 Sector 2 versus the 37.1 for Rosberg. Of course Rosberg too might not have gone too hard. Either ways, Merc domination seem set to continue, and Williams might have fallen...

I definitely think the better the car the closer team mates seem to be. I think with a very good car the quicker driver can't make the difference as they would in a harder car to drive. Nah. Redbull were the class of the field in 2011, and the later half of 2013 and both years Vettel outclassed Web...

What will be the impact on safety grounds? Will all the teams have a backup FRIC-less suspension ready? The ban has come out of the blue, and the top teams are probably working furiously now on a solution. How safe will it be to race, given all they will have to try it will be 3 practice sessions? U...

Banning something is something, doing it in the middle of the season, and with < 2 weeks to go for the next GP is ridiculous. How do they expect Merc and the other teams to come up with a new design in time?! The rider that this could be postponed to 2015 if all team agree is again stupid, clearly w...

Damn the DNF's.

Schumi4ever

I never saw a replay of both of their outlaps, but i guess it depends on how long it took Hamilton to get past Perez and how much Perez impeded Hamilton in turn. In hindsight, both Mercs should have been out some 20secs earlier to make sure they had a better buffer. I think Hamilton did reasonably w...

Go Seb! Go Jenson! Go Nico! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I hope they finish in that order. Seb and Jenson deserve so much better. Fat chance. LOL. I think the Mercs will still be ahead even if its a wet track. Jenson should almost definitely go backwards if it is dry. Seb should still get a podium...

Schumi4ever

Could have been Lewis was thinking about one less lap of tyre use, but I think probably he was thinking about the press conference. Don't those tires get returned and the top ten start with the tires they set their Q2 best time on? That's right. So pretty much the only reason to not go out/not set ...

Schumi4ever

Most of the posts i have read assume the worst case scenario, i.e Hamilton winning and Rosberg with a DNF, in which case a 50+ point lead is needed. Are ppl really thinking that Double points are only for the winner? Surely no one is that dumb.

Can't see him move anywhere. Maybe to Ferrari in 2016 once Kimi retires.

Anyone got sector times for those last runs?? http://i59.tinypic.com/10rmjon.jpg If i've read that right Hamilton was up after the first 2 sectors? If so he's more of an idiot than I originally thought when I just assumed he didn't bother going for it midway through S2. Nah, that's his best S2 time...

A grid penalty? He held up a few cars just before the start of the last lap.

I think it was Perez holding them both up, but hopefully we will get a few replays of that. Am surprised the team opted to run that late though.

Ricciardo/Kyvat/Vergne must be feeling like fairy cakes for opting not to run now. Damn, they were anyways gonna return these tyres, so the only reason not to run was to be cautious and avoid damaging the car due to any spins i guess.

I would vote for all 3 if i could.

Hamilton is probably the biggest loser, given the Championship standings.

Schumi4ever

The key for Lewis is to get a mega start and make short work of the cars between Rosberg and him in the first few laps which I think he will. Two of those cars you expect Hamilton to make short work of are Button and Vettel. They know about Austria and I don't expect them to just let him get past w...

Toto saying that it was Lewis decision to ultimately abort the lap in the middle sector after deciding the track was too wet.

I wish he had spent the 3 years he spent at Merc at Ferrari directly post 2006 instead. He retired at the peak of his prowess, and sadly only showed glimpses of it in 2010-11, although 2012 was much better. Then again, am not saying anything new and like mentioned here, its a topic that's been discu...

PR talk rarely reflects what goes on within the team. For example, Wolff is quite pessimistic in his media talks, but am sure that's not the sort of pep talk Merc give their Engineers or their racing drivers. I guess the same applies to Mclaren, only in the opposite way. The team know what they need...

Too soon to say. You can't erase 4 years of championship success by 8 races of 2014. But is he going through a bad phase/form? Definitely.
