I find it strange that Kimi gets more votes than Vettel when he finished behind Vettel :? Because Kimi matched The Youngest Ever 4 times WDC with same car on race pace despite being 8 years older. That is no mean feat. :nod: Raikkonen didn't manage Pirellis with a dominating car against a multiple ...

Good drives: Romain Grosjean, Jenson Button, Max Verstappen . Bad drives: Pastor Maldonado, Daniel Ricciardo That's quite funny because Button crashed Maldonado out of the race It is pretty funny that he did MORE than just managing the Pirellis on clean air and didn't cost anyone <including himself...

I'm intrigued as to why Rosberg didn't just speed up and catch Hamilton or at least make him go faster by pushing him harder. Was he really unable to drive the car because of turbulence two seconds back? Same here, I didn't hear him complaining about tires or being told to conserve tires or fuel so...

I don't really feel like anyone stood out for me. I agree.

Of course World Endurance Championship race.

WEC never lost its ground to Formula 1 even in late 90s. How can i forget Porsche 962 or a Mercedes CLK-GTR of 1998? Good old Memories....

The new cars of WEC continue their racing tradition as well as the competition and racing quality.

You do realise that Hamilton was basically coasting throughout the race Yeah, he basically coasts whenever he wins a race. I got used to this as a default. Of course we can not argue about that. Rosberg said that Hamilton was driving slowly, you don't believe Rosberg either? I explained all of them...

So why didn't he back out and ease off and "nursed his car and engine" like in Melbourne? wasn't 2 seconds enough for a "safe enough" gap? OR, as kleefton and myself pointed out; he had just more pace this time around and didn't want to see Rosberg in his mirrors at every turn and as a consequence,...

Fortunately for this race, both drivers got lots of time in practice. We will see who has more race pace with W06 on a track that suits Lewis's style convincingly . If they can continue without a damage and/or mechanical issue, we will have enough data at who has more race pace for 56 laps (discoun...

He opted for race setups this season and had a stronger race pace than Lewis in Malaysia. I completely disagree. Rosberg had slightly better tyre management allowing him to go on softs at the end. That improved his pace a little but not by much considering the performance difference between the med...

I personally think that Alonso is done winning championships or races. I think that he will retire in 2 years time and remain in the shadows of Lewis and Vettel. Too bad, but that is what will most likely happen. Lewis maybe, but I don't think he's in Vettel's shadow right now for most people, and ...

Assuming Rosberg is telling the truth, why did he not TRY to pass the race leader quickly enough before adjusting his own race pace to the car in front. He could have at least tried ONCE to pass the tyre managing car in front. What makes Rosberg to think he won't be able to achieve an overtake on t...

He really didn't, he drifted slightly from the right hand side of the track towards the middle then turned into the first corner. No part of JB's car was alongside him so he can take whatever line he wants into the corner. I don't know what reality you live in if that's "swerving". I know Pastor ca...

If he was flat out, he could probably gain 0.2 seconds per lap but that would increasing the stress on the brakes, suspension and gearbox. Why bother? So smooth driving decreases an...

Since Austria last year when Lewis started 10th, Rosberg has only beaten him in Brazil. Not including the two races, where hamiltons car broke down in qualifying. So thats 1 out of last 14. And in Brazil, Lewis had an off-track moment which caused him to lose many seconds. I think there is nothing ...

We do not say the winners didn't deserve their trophies, we just said the drivers who had pace in pocket, drove that seconds for their benefit to increase the gap further than a mere 1 second. 2 or 3 seconds are not safe enough to risk a victory against the direct rival within Championship.

The China race erased any possibility of "managing gap to Nico due to concerns for reliability" claims for 2015. But why? Because, the offensively usage of "managing the tires" <by making Rosberg to pit earlier than needed> RESULTED in a longer last stint for Rosberg. That caused him to nurse his t...
