To clarify, I started this because I though that I thought the comment about braids had an element of race in it, that's how it felt to me. So I showed it to a few people, I then went on to point out that on reflection the surrounding comment was about having a go at LH's image rather than race and...

LukeMallory

I thought about this more and have a further comment. First, I would like to apologise for singling the kris's kross comment out. That in itself isn't the racist part. The fact his hair was even brought up is. I don't see you commenting on Bottas' hair or Perez's. Why is that? I would suggest it is...

LukeMallory

Its not about race, its about LH presenting an image. Why should he have to look like DW or revert to an 'older image of LH?' Why does he need to win people over? He doesn't. But why can't we say he looks like Kriss Kross without being accused of being a racist? If we said he looked like Denzel Was...

LukeMallory

He looks like the kid from Kriss Kross. Previously he looked like Dwayne Dibbly from Red Dwarf. When he starts looking like Denzel Washington, or even like Lewis Hamilton again, he might win more people over. If the other comments were racist or offensive to God, then my comment probably makes me a ...

This is Nico Rosberg's Official Thread, not one to discuss Lewis Hamilton or his supporters. In order to discuss one driver, sometimes you have to put his achievement into perspective by discussing another. I.e. I'm stating that Rosberg behaved very well today in comparison to his team mate when ex...

LukeMallory

Is this where all the Lewsy fans step in and shout 'conspiracy theory!!'? Yes? Rosberg did well today - particularly liked that he stayed for the whole race and seemed to be having a laugh with his wife straight after jumping out of the car. Lewis could learn a thing or two from Rosberg about how to...

Allo, I write short stories in my spare time and tend to blog about my misadventures. If anyone's *really* bored, feel free to take a look and share. Beware, contains strong language 18+ etc.

I'd get rid of Hamilton ASAP and stick Hulkster in the car. Would surely make for an easier life at Merc and save a huge amount of money. I would also make sure that Rosberg is this year's champion so that a 'star driver' is still in the team. But I'm a scheming so and so who looks after every cent ...

LukeMallory

Just to remind people of the big man's ability to pounce.

LukeMallory

Due to a ridiculous warning I got from a mod, I'm not allowed to mention the name of the driver who was born in 1969. So I'll just call him Bob. I think Bob was ace in 2012 and was back on form. All of his accidents came when he was stuck in the midfield, silly collisions etc., which, in fairness, h...

LukeMallory

His performance in 2013 is what sealed the deal for me. He kept qualifying the car where it had no business being qualified, then held off the 'big boys' for lap after lap after lap. His ability to soak up this kind of pressure shows a tremendous strength and ability to keep up the pace. Gary Anders...

Whatever about how quick Vettel was in practice and qualifying - even in the race - I believe the question is valid. Shouldn't a 4 time world champion (and, therefore, you would hope, just about the best on the grid) be able to handle a newcomer? I don't like Vettel, but I always thought he was damn...

LukeMallory

The problem was not the strategist; the problem was Hamilton's gigantic ego. Again. Cost Merc the win today. Maybe when he's older he'll figure this stuff out.

He's just like me. When I was seven.

LukeMallory

Yep, if I was Merc, I probably wouldn't be offering Lewis anymore money than Rosberg. Unfortunately for Lewis, he has that huge marketing agency working for him, so he probably loses a sizable chunk of his salary to commission, which Rosberg most likely does not have. To my eyes, Vettel is suddenly ...

LukeMallory

I vote yes as I really don't like to see marshals running across a 'live' track. All it takes is the slightest misjudgement etc. for something trivial to suddenly turn serious - like that marshal in Canada a few years back. And the notorious incident many years ago...

LukeMallory

Dude. It's just a race.

LukeMallory

Aye, the 'mystique' is long gone. The trophies look like something I'd get for winning the annual 5km workplace race.

LukeMallory

Usual bash-the-guy-when-he's-down mentality around here, I see. :thumbup: It was a racing incident. End of. Had Massa moved slightly left and anticipated Kevin's line, there would have been no impact. OR Had Kevin not slightly understeered or had he hit the apex perfectly, there would have been no i...

LukeMallory

Don't like them at all, and feels like F1 giving into peer pressure just because of the current fad for big wheels. I would be interested to hear if there is any difference in ride quality, as there is in real life when low profile tyres are added.

Grr.

LukeMallory

I know they can't pull out of F1 as there would be uproar in Italy. When you think, they spend $400 million a year, how much of that is spent on employment and suppliers? A lot of people's livelihoods depend on Ferrari. Given that's the case, I'd love to see them half their budget for f1 - or even r...

LukeMallory

I don't care what he would have done. I just miss the dude.

LukeMallory

6th in the championship, on 59 points, having scored in every race. Yeah, Hulk's reputation is in ruins

LukeMallory

I think they are a great pairing. The fast and reliable Hulkster and slightly erratic but 'on his day unbeatable' Perez. Calm versus flamboyant. Both of them have great race pace, too.

LukeMallory

I would have fired him that day. You don't bite the hand that feeds you, i.e. put your sponsors into compromising situations.

LukeMallory

Hulkster did exactly the same thing last year in Korea when he held Alonso at bay for the whole race. That's a Sauber Ferrari. Vs. a Ferrari Ferrari. The guy clearly has some skill at this, regardless of car. I see him as a future champion, if only for his metronomic consistency. I bet FI are deligh...

LukeMallory

Arguably DC, Massa and Herbert? Even though all are great drivers.

LukeMallory

Good Lord. I liked Lewis last year, but this week I've done a complete u-turn, starting with the rather condescending 'I should be dominating Rosberg' to his refusal to accept Rosberg's apology yesterday, and now to his rather shameful appearance on the podium at Monte Carlo. I now hope Rosberg smas...

LukeMallory

Thought Vettel did really well on Sunday. Riccardo has been a pleasant surprise this year, too. Love the fact he's always smiling - if he had started chatting to the girls in the post-race room, I wouldn't have been surprised.

I certainly would have said 'hola' to one or two. Or three.

LukeMallory

I believe Jensen and Hamilton both have a 'killer instinct' which Rosberg lacks. Eg. another driver might have 'smelt blood' and caught Hamilton on Sunday. I think Rosberg's head has dropped. Hamilton is doing very well at the moment. However, in 2011 he showed that he has the ability to let his hea...

LukeMallory

I love Murray - I hope I'm like him when I'm 90!!! Also I agree with him - FI have quietly been getting the job done. As for those who wonder is it just that other teams are underperforming, FI, with their limited budget, had every opportunity to 'underperform' too but the fact that their not is wha...

LukeMallory

Just watched the BBC try to do a hatchet job on him and tbh they failed miserably. Mikey, I logged in to say exactly that - I was even going to use the 'hatchet job' term! If anything, my respect for Bernie has sky-rocketed after this programme. Clearly he's a very intelligent and very astute man, ...

LukeMallory

Maybe LDM should go. Reminds me of a child sometimes. I think Ferrari should hire me so that I can, at the very least, fix their stupid paint scheme. How can a team that created the 2007 car, complete with beautiful metallic paint, create the Marussia-like munter this year? So, if Dominicalli is res...

A few of us watch the GPs together and since 2012 when Hulkeneberg started popping up into the points regularly, and that great run of form at the end of last year, we literally stare at the leaderboard and whenever he pops up the order in qualifying or the race, we all call out 'It's the Hulkster!'...

LukeMallory

Whatever about the team orders part, Williams' choice of words was nothing short of disgraceful and was about the only time in the race that got my heart pumping. Felipe has been leading Bottas in practice and in qualifying so far. He is a veteran, a multiple race winner and a runner-up in the World...

LukeMallory

Nice comments from JPM, surely on the back of recent events. As someone mentioned, I thought he was always jealous of MSC's success. Seems I was wrong or, at very least, time and family has seen JPM mellow and see what is really important in life.

LukeMallory

A question for those who hate the new noise (I'm pretty indifferent to it): Would you rather have more noise and cars that have less top speed or quicker, quieter cars. As far as I'm concerned, speed comes first as it's something that, you know, actually affects performance, while the noise is seco...

LukeMallory

One of the things I kept wondering while watching the Aus GP was 'is he flat out' ? I remember in approx. 2004 being in awe at the change of direction speed midway around the lap in Melbourne. I did a quick search and: Fastest laps 2004: 1 1 Michael Schumacher Ferrari 29 14:45:12 226.933 1:24.125 20...

LukeMallory

Regarding the driver's (and marshal's) health, I'm more concerned by the post-accident microscopic shards of carbon fibre which can penetrate the body and do serious damage.
