Penalties are not usually handed out for blocks unless they actually cost the blocked driver something. Massa in 2013 was given a 3-place grid penalty for blocking Webber in Q2 (or Q1?) despite the fact that Mark made it to the next qualifying session (if I recall correctly). But that is not the us...

Hamilton's actual response to James Allen's question is quite interesting. He was asked if whether Nico remaining on the racing line caused him a problem. He answered with, "I don't really remember, so obviously not." Considering he's on pole, with someone else between him and Rosberg, this could be...

Just put Alonso and Hamilton in the same team and we won't even need to have this discussion.

Rosberg has a fat 0% chance at the title as long as Mercedes is ALONE at the top clear of any threat for WCC. I have been saying this before the days of Winter Testing. If Ferrari becomes a threat for the race win, we will immediately see Rosberg "solves" his race issues. In My Opinion. Add another...

slightly concerned about the news - when Lewis life is de-stabalised it has affected his performance...hopefully if this story is true he has matured a bit more and can deal with it...seeing as he's still only 30 I think it could be a sad, but ultimately good thing... http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/ce...

I don't know why Rosberg had to run so many laps because Hamilton has to drive an very overdrived car next day which may lead to problems and it did! Looks to me like Rosberg planned this, to limit Hamilton's test, we already know from last year that Rosberg can do ridiculous selfish things. He'd b...

Well so far, everything is pointing that the Ferrari engine is not going to make it easy for the Mercedes. Sauber and Ferrari are on top for the 3rd day. It doesn't make sense that Williams Mercedes or Lotus are not pushing for a hot lap. Can't be that all are sandbagging and hiding speed. Let us h...

Maybe there's an explanation for McLaren's lack of a title sponsor that we're all missing. One of the main criticisms Lewis had of Macca was all the days he had to spend doing work with sponsors. If there aren't any sponsors then any potential future contract offer to Lewis wouldn't include any spon...

With the current driver line-ups, working out who has the best pairing will pretty much boil down to [indeed, pretty much has boiled down to] a conversation about who is better/worse out of Rosberg and Button. Can't we just put Lewis and Fernando back in the same team, negating the need to even ques...

How about a return of the Earth livery so people can start appreciating the chrome a bit more? :lol: The chrome is not that bad, especially in 2011/2012 with that shine effect + red from Vodafone. Chrome and black like in 2014 looks very bland, though. Here's hoping the My Earth Dreams livery will ...

I think Mercedes [the team] don't get enough credit for their chassis. If team Merc did not participate in 2014 I'm not convinced there would still have been Merc domination.

Ron Dennis just told Martin Brundle that the press is making a mistake in thinking it is just between 3 drivers for the two seats, and that they should use their imagination and stretch it to four.

It'd probably be quite similar. MSC would not have been as much of a pushover at Bahrain, Japan, etc... but, based on his 2010-2012 form, would probably have binned it a couple of times

Some tracks clearly don't need DRS, and what might be an overtaking opportunity becomes a sealed deal.

Overtaking isn't exciting in and of itself. The potential to overtake is.

Surely it'd be a bit of a PR disaster for Merc if let the No.1 go to another team for next year, after all the work building one of the best cars in years.

SkySportsNewsHQ are now showing this accusation. Looks true, poor form from Hamilton.

Just spoken to Merc and they confirm the quotes from Lewis on what Nico said are correct - should be interesting going forward #f1

fieldstvl

If that really is what Nico said, why on earth would anyone in Hamilton's position not go to the press with it? Some of the opinions on here [whilst in regards to something far more trivial, of course], bear a striking resemblance to those who tell victims of sexual assault not to go to the police.

Considering some of the outrageous calls stewards have made over the years, I don't see how invoking the stewards' lack of response in this instance provides anything even remotely resembling closure.

You don't hit your team mate. If you can't get pass cleanly you back out. To be fair, he did back out but by his own admission he f****d up.

I'd be interested to see how this supposed total compliance with team orders is going to be enforced.

Based on history, it seems like one of the Merc drivers is more willing to comply than the other.
