Re: Hamilton credits Vettel's success to Newey

Don't think he thinks he is a rapper. Just think he hangs out with them sometimes. Think the issue is, he feels he has let himself down by not having another WDC, I think peope are aware he is good enough, but the circumstances were not right. He should just stop and breathe and take it easy and dr...

Re: Grosjean going backward?

Lotus update (coanda) which has made the car faster is only on Kimi's car so that is why he is faster than RoGro at the moment. Next s...

Re: Maldonado - should his driving have been/be looked at?

he simply cant race wheel to wheel with other drivers.

His speed in qualifying came from his aggression on track, taking away from him, he would be compeltely useless.

Conclusion: Bottas need to step in and show him how to be fast in qualifying and also on the race.
