Vettel also went off track with 4 wheels to get in front of LH at start but this is a bit different. It was 1 lap, just after start and Vettel was already a bit ahead all this mostly due to LH not starting at his best than to an overtake maneuver. Max just cut the track to overtake Kimi which is kin...

Aspar

Merc will flop it. Doubt they expected Vettel will ruin tyres so fast but if they don't react well it might cost the fist place for Lewis.

Aspar

Why are Merc almost always so bad on strategy, slow on reacting and taking the right decisions. They wasted a precious 5 seconds lead that Hamilton has gained and almost lost the 1st pos for him with their late pit.

Aspar

I just watched it several times on slow motion. Vettel just torpedoes like a mad man towards Max, who slightly tries to go left to avoid obvious incoming contact, in the same moment, Kimi moves in a straight line but at that moment clips slightly to the right himself, Vettel and Kimi just squeeze Ma...

10 Second Stop/Go for Seb. Could have been longer. And seb has to gall to ask, "What did I do, dangerous driving?" Vettel is an idiot. Vettel is not an idiot. He's a blithering idiot. Hopefully in addition to the stop and go penalty, Charlie assesses him an additional 10 position grid penalty for n...

LH won't be able to pass Vettel, not enough pace.

Now, LH should ram Vettel and just get a drive through, if he is on the track ... will be better for him if the 2 cars don't finish, less points for Vettel, sounds like a reasonable logic, taken the fact of the farce those stewards are. Why farce? Hamilton is behind Vettel only because Mercedes mec...

Aspar

I am pretty sure if it was not for Merc to chocolate fudge cake up LH's race again, the stewards wouldn't even give Vettel a penalty.
They are just washing their hands now with this. What a circus.

Aspar

Wow, such a weak penalty for this.
What clowns those stewards.
Next thing is we see camrageddon in F1 when someone goes rage cause, you now...just a drive through...

Aspar

Can't quite believe people are defending Vettel here... I'm a huge Vettel fan, and while I don't believe he wanted to hit Hamilton and risk spoiling his own car too, he did lose control of his car in rage, and hence deserves punishment. But so does Hamilton. What? It's Vettel's job to keep distance...

Aspar

Wow, wtf is this clown Vettel doing?
This deserves disqualification.
Going next to a car, under SC, to deliberately hit it...wow.
If they don't put a sever penalty on Vettel all they do from now on will be questionable.

Aspar

Interesting quali. Good lap from Vettel or just bad from Botas? It looks like at least for quali cars are not so far apart. What will happen tomorrow i think is, at start Vettel will take over first. Ham's merc as usual will have problems with start, so Vet with a good start on the Ferrari, which is...

Aspar

At the start of the season i said that Merc will make, in their last year of total dominance, a german pilot the WDC - well done and executed. Their stupid order in the last race proved my suspicions that they wanted and (probably arranged) for Nico to be a WDC. If it was all fair they would have sh...

Aspar

There are 8 Mercs on the grid, but this does not in anyway mean they all are being pushed the same. Aero differences will make significant differences to how the engine runs. This is cooling of course, but also the fact that the Merc factory team has the fastest car, it is likely that they get on t...

Aspar

Rosberg has been lucky not having the reliability issues Lewis had, but so what. People seem to think the WDC is a drivers championship alone. It's never been that. It's always a combination of driver and car and having reliability issues your team mate doesn't have is just part of the sport. Footb...

Aspar

I believe that the way particular drivers drive used to have a big effect back in the day. These days the engineers would be all over it and could point out where the driver is going wrong. Lewis is good enough to adapt to anything the engineers tell him and I don't believe it's his driving style. ...

Aspar

At the start of the season i said that this is the last chance for Merc to make a German pilot champ because this is their last year of domination and that coincidences doesn't happen just like that in big corporations where lots and lots of money are put on the table.

Aspar

1. Make a German WDC in their probably last year of dominance. Ah come on, not this nonsense again. This has sprung up every year when Hamilton was going to rough patches and/or reliability problems, and every time he just came back, got full team support, didn't have as much issues anymore and all...

The faviouritism towards Rosberg couldn't be more clear than today. (They will probably prove me wrong though). Mercedes screwed Hamilton twice in the pits to give Rosberg the lead and the win untill Rosberg made another of his epic brainfarts. Just give the seat to Alonso, Ricciardo or why not Weh...

Aspar

So much drama and over-analyzing over a simple human way of thinking. Rosberg has been beaten wheel to wheel so many times by Hamilton that he must have a complex already. He is leading in WDC and sees how Hamilton will beat him on track again. What does Rosberg do - crash into Hamilton with the tho...

Aspar

If it's a clutch problem that Merc has to fix then why does it rarely happen to Rosberg? I don't wanna search for the article with Toto's explanation again but by memory he was saying it was something to do with the way the clutch is set and it behaves differently when used by LH and Nico. He said ...

Aspar

I'm telling you, Lewis cannot win if he doesn't sort out his starts. He'll be punished too severely with substantially lower placed finishes, and combined with his PU situation he just won't get it done. The only way he can win the WDC is by fixing his starts. He won't always be on pole to have the...

Aspar

Also, a small aside. Hamilton is better than Rosberg, however... How much better is he really? You've probably seen me suggest that Rosberg is underrated generally, but I also believe Hamilton is overrated. I think they're slightly closer than most think. Hamilton will need to show much strength of...

Aspar

how can lewis win if he's not allowed to-how can the reliable merc keep breaking down on one side of the garage and not the other and why did merc switch the mechanics around with no explanation to the drivers, and nico has not been under pressure once this year with his pressure coming in the form...

Aspar

His two first starts were not bad luck, they were Merc failure with his clutch as admitted by them, on which they are supposed to work with Daimler.
So far LH has been plagued by bad luck, and mechanical failures, nothing more.

Aspar

It looks like everyone but Hamilton is able to pass Massa. It looks like everyone but Hamilton drives a non-damaged car as well. Vettel, Ricciardo, Kimi are all driving damaged cars. Hamilton is not as good when he is surrounded by other cars, we have seen him struggle earlier this year too. Next t...

It's pretty ovious the car is massively out of pace atm. Looks like the damage is more serious that it looks on the outside.

What 2 seconds? It's pretty obvious Hamilton's car is not in optimal form it has been damaged and it shows.

What's Merc's strategy for LH? To use all available tyres???
How many boxes?

Aspar

Uh...5 places grid penalty for LH, coupled with the fact that Merc said they still couldn't fix his clutch problems, which means he might again start poorly, it's looking pretty sure we will have a new WDC this year. I hope when Merc finally fixes LH clutch we at least get some races between him an...

I was wondering what was going on with LH and the poor starts he is having. So far, he has lost 17 points to Rosberg in races in which he should have had a walk in the park, starting from first and finishing without problems. I thought he was just having a bad start of the season, but then read that...

<Puts tinfoil hat on>, the strategy is to take him as far as possible from the german who has the last chance to become a champ. The next year the merc won't have the advantage

But, really, what is this strategy?
