Re: Nico Has 0 consecutive Wins, What Would P1 in Brazil Mea

The only meaning we could take from this is that Nico can win when there is nothing at stake.

unfortunately when the season comes back around his history suggests that when there is meaning in consecutive wins he comes a cropper and flounders.

Re: Vettel cutting the track everywhere after 1st lap punctu

of course they should be able to shortcut the track, but it should not be counted as a full lap so either an additional time penalty worth the estimated regular lap time of what they missed or a static penalty.

Re: Vettel cutting the track everywhere after 1st lap punctu

If you cut a large enough section of the track isn't the lap not counted?? but it would have to be half a tracks worth to warrant an automatic lapped car situation.

Isn't this the james hunt scenario?

Re: Marc Marquez assaulted at his home

Rossi should have had a bit more of a punishment than he did for his actions, people who defend him are too much caught up in Rossi's butt.

The only reason he got off so lightly was because it is Rossi.

This isn't comparable to an illegally designed engine or body part.The tyres were Pressurised in the pits by Pirelli engineers and a different result read on grid in only 1 of four tyres.

You have to remember when Lewis last contract was signed it was with Brawn with input from Lauda. Maybe he's a little uneasy in the relationship with Toto and wants some clarification.
