Hamilton is again after a pack of cars after the pit. Merc is excelling at poor strategies. Not to wanna sound tin foil hatted but i think this is the year Merc will make a german the champion ;) So far doesn't look like Hamilton is doing the needed to deny that though...he's been poor at starts, b...

rather by Hamilton. He was too focused on Rosberg, run very wide and didn't notice that Bottas was about to overtake him.
That's why he got a penalty
Hamilton still had poor start.

I don't think anyone denies that. But Bottas caused the collision. Hence the penalty.

I am not so sure why this happens so but looks like the stars want Rosberg to be a champion this year.

Luis has been really poor with starts so far this year. What a disappointment.

Aspar

Hi guys, i just got in and can't quite orient in the situations, strange positions, strange tire mix. Just saw Hamilton overtake Ric, but on those tires? Looks like i have missed a lot, lol

. Who is with the best chance to win now? Looks like Rosberg?

Aspar

Some arguments here are pretty far from what we see and logical. Like for example the "fragileness" of Hamilton. What we see is actually quite the opposite. We saw Vettel crumble when put under pressure and beaten by his teammate. We see Alonso whining left and right and requesting this and that whe...

Aspar

We actually know very very little of what's going on behind closed doors. We can't even be sure, when corporate giants like Merc are in the game if a lot of what's is seen is not staged. We know Merc said they had to take care of Rosberg now (rephrased), which probably is not what Hamilton would li...

Oh please, this is not some sort of a kindergarten is it? Of course the media will cover Hamilton. A lot of F1 fans seems to live in some dreamland where F1 is some goody funny activity for hipsters and technical geeks. As you see, no matter we like it or not, F1 is all about money, popularity, spon...

Aspar

and Mercedes confirms that they don't want us to see a race! Be fair - Merc let their drivers race a lot more than a lot of teams in recent past. They've handled the last two seasons very well imo. It's a completely fair fight between them, obviously avoiding reliability problems. Completely fair? ...

Aspar

Merc just have the comfort of being the best car + best driver combo atm, but should Ferrari get much closer to them, with this way of handling things Ferrari would destroy them.

That really looks stupid sometimes if you listen to Merc communication with the drivers. One strategist is really really bad for the sport, it makes it impossible for one racer if quicker to capitalize it.

Aspar

When stuff like this happens you know F1 sucks and is gown down and down. One guy is faster, constantly melting difference when put back behind (3+ seconds behind Rosberg after second pit) and just impossible to pass unless 1+ second difference or guy in front screws big time. Just remove the damn a...

Aspar

Congratulations Lewis! Well deserved. One of the greatest of all time!

Aspar

That sloppy team-mate Vettel had, has beaten the very sloppy team-mate Hamilton currently has, when they were team-mates. So, surely what you wrote about Vettel must be valid for Hamilton too :lol: Nico has improved a lot and Webber seemed like going only downwards. Nico has beaten MS, so does that...

@Zoue Where did you see insult in my post? You bolded " Ask yourself why and try to give your self an honest and objective answer, as hard as it could be." so i suppose that is what offended you.

I don't get what's that false "political correctness" even from fans of Hamilton to not say it or when saying it adding Alonso and Vettel along as if like to not abuse someone's feelings, when that's really ridiculous at the moment especially for Alonso (sadly), as even other teams, drivers and tea...

Aspar

I think some people here are too harsh on Nico, who i don't even like much, but to be honest, the guy deserves some slack. You guys are looking at the situation as if Nico is alone on the track and think that many drivers can perform better vs. LH. You forget what a fail to compete Webber was, or Ma...

Aspar

Maybe, simply, because there are not enough drivers of their level to be put against. Actually if we have to stick to some kind of this tiring, the current state of F1 is so fragmented that it's hard to put the best vs. one another. Currently it's obvious that Hamilton is in a league of his own. If ...

Aspar

Nico failed at start, Hamilton hammered him and overtook, on the exit he was ahead of Nico and was taking the best line to defend his position. Nico backed off, though a little late and lost some position. You are turning almost nothing into a big discussion. Even Nico doesn't make a fuss about it, ...

Aspar

Anyway, Nico is a defeated driver. Pithy but so true. Let's not forget that Nico did try hard, especially the previous year, but was still destroyed by LH. I think at this point he just reacts healthily as a human being. He understands LH is better than him and he can not beat him. Further tries wo...

Aspar

Aspar - you may be right, but I've only seen the TV replay so far, from which it looked obvious that Lewis pushed Nico off track. It doesn't really matter though (apart from making the race more boring) as its obvious that Merc are still head and shoulders above the rest of the field/Ferrari a long...

Aspar

I'm wondering whether Nico is going to say anything about being pushed off track? :lol: After being smacked down by LH on start he should just keep his head down and accept it. With that pace difference it looks like it worked better for him, cause he would be humiliated on track in more "racier" s...

True that. Poor job on showing the fights between the leaders.

Aspar

Rosberg dived bombed Bottas from Singapore. News of Rosberg "lacking racecraft" have been greatly exaggerated! Well if he had good race craft, he'd be leading this race not dicing for position further back. Hamilton has better racecraft obviously, but it has no bearing on Rosberg's ability. So I wo...

It's interesting how Merc so often manage to screw a lot of LH's lead. Not for first time, his lead is decreased by their pit stop timing. I understand that they wanted to undercut Vettel with Rosberg, but they do it at the expense of almost 5 seconds of lead for LH. I'll take that trade-off for a ...

Aspar

But why were Rosberg's 1.1 off the spec? And if that was signed off Pirelli is Merc to blame?

Aspar

Sure, 0.3 PSI is responsible for the humiliating 25 seconds lead (at cruising tempo)... Why would a team make such a thing on purpose if their advantage is so huge? Penalties shouldn't be given blindly for every by the book rule, that's why there are people observing the rules, not robots. There hav...
