I can see Lewis stuck behind Valtteri for a while now letting Nico drive off into the sunset. Shame, I was looking forward to a on track battle for once.

TedStriker

There's quite a bit of history of Hamilton passing Rosberg or forcing an error at Monza when they've been team mates, usually into turn 1. Rosberg needs to be more concerned that his qualy time was closer to Vettel's than Hamilton's - he can't afford to lose more than 7 points if he's to stand a cha...

Taking this further, why didn't Lewis take a few extra engines at China once he already knew he'd not set a qualifying time? Effectively no penalty at all then!

TedStriker

This is just stupid. Why is Rosberg getting a load of boos? He did nothing wrong at all today. It's the first time many of the spectators will have had an opportunity to directly voice their opinion on his driving this season so far. What? I think some of them haven't forgotten Austria. If one mist...

nico looks rather grumpy for a bloke that just won a F1 race.... Lewis looks rather grumpy for a bloke who has had his entire season's bad luck wiped out in 8 racing laps. Given how much Lewis struggled with the tyres all weekend and how consistently Nico was quicker than him, he basically traded a...

So why did Lewis go out at all in qualy then? He clearly isn't going to be a hazard for being slow so why not just take the day off and throw 100% at the race?

Any trophy in the shape of a company logo is just a piece of advertising. I'm surprised we don't see those oh so tacky boards they bring out behind footballers crammed full of logos when they're doing the podium interviews. They do seem to have stopped digitally projecting adverts on the track thoug...

Does anybody have any idea why Nicos was so bad on the full wet tyre again. I know we only had 2 laps on it, but he lost 2.4 and 3.1 seconds to Hamilton on each of them. It was the same ball park as Monaco and like Monaco, once the inters were put on on his pace was immediately better. It did look ...

As "classy" as the British fans are expected to be, probably loud.

If it wasn't for the boos last week at Austria for Lewis then there would have been none. It's childish but don't try to pretend the British are any worse/different to any other nationality.

TedStriker

So how loud will the boos be for Nico?

TedStriker

So, what team orders will have been given out to ensure the Merc drivers don't trip over each other on lap 1? Can't see it being a free for all into turn 1 and with Lewis' starts recently it could get messy.

Can you elaborate on that? Rosberg's race was ruined in the last lap, nothing to do with Vettel.

TedStriker

Lucky boy, Nico. Hopefully now you'll stop trying to pretend it wasn't your fault.

TedStriker

And I thought it was the Hamilton fans that are supposed to be blindly biased? A best it is sour grapes, and at worst something far more sinister. Once again Nico shows that he resorts to desperate/dangerous manoeuvres when he is in danger of losing the lead. I don't doubt for a second that he had b...

Can we have some rain just to spice it up further, pretty please?

Have the supersofts actually been faster than the softs though?

TedStriker

I predict a riot.

TedStriker

Hammertime - is that still allowed over radio?

TedStriker

It will all be about the last 10 laps with the Mercs if Nico isn't stopping again. I can see Lewis sitting 2 seconds back until then.

Would Merc then tell Nico to let Lewis past as they let him pit first? That would keep the forum lively until Silverstone!

TedStriker

Didn't they say Rosberg only has one set of soft tyres and two sets of supersofts, with Hamilton having the opposite? Yes, Rosberg doesn't have any more yellow stripe tyres So how many more stops for them both and who ends on the best tyres? No idea :) I guess it depends on whether they both need t...

He's talking about the swearing, obviously. I doesn't give a good impression of professional sportsmen, they should be a level above footballers.

TedStriker

Is there a limit to what they can put on the board they show the drivers on the start/finish straight?

TedStriker

I reckon Nico's been swapping the coloured stickers around on Lewis' steering wheel

Will be interesting to find out what really happened - an error like Nico made or a failure?

Maybe they use different components like Hamilton going for different brake manufacturers previously.

TedStriker

Hypocrisy? Also the height of hypocrisy is people saying Rosberg locking wheels and somehow staying in the track is in control, but when Hamilton understeers, then it is not being in control. It's definitely not one way traffic, though. How many of those who blamed Rosberg in 2014 are now doing the...

TedStriker

Ignoring the reasons Rosberg left the track just after the start, how was he not investigated for an unsafe rejoin? The rules clearly state "Should a car leave the track the driver may re-join, however, this may only be done when it is safe to do so" and both Reb Bull drivers had to take avoiding a...

Lewis getting his excuses on for the first turn 'incident'. Looking forward to hearing Nico's thoughts on it.
