Re: Pot. Kettle. Rosberg.
lmao, Rosberg is an idiot. Hamilton was managing his tyres and sped up to the exact amount he was asked by the team. Rosberg's mad because he's not as good. He was moaning about Hamilton going too slow but at the end of the stint Rosberg's tyres were knackered whilst Hamilton's were still pristine,...

Re: Driver(s) of the Day - 2015 Chinese Grand Prix
I did not vote. But I'm somewhat puzzled by the result. Not because of Hamilton and Verstappen (both deserve their votes from my pov) but why is Kimi way in front of Vettel? Because he *may* have attacked Vettel if there was no safety car? And that would have been because he had fresher tyres in th...

Re: 2015 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
No, I don't think I missed the point. I think Option missed the point SF#1 made. Aside from that, I disagree winning is the best way to help the team. A driver wins for himself: the fact that it helps the team too is just a side benefit. Otherwise every driver who's ever won a race is automatically...

Re: 2015 Chinese Grand Prix Race Thread
Quick tip for Rosberg. Qualify on pole and you can run your own race and not worry about anybody else. He was within a couple of hundredths of pole despite being compromised by the team putting him out too late and forcing him to take life out of the tyres on the outlap. He would have been on pole ...

Does anyone think that Alonso will be affected by the "testgate" incident, in a sport where mental strength is all important I wonder a bit about this!
Is he the same driver as he was, Massa to a long while to get back to speed, if he ever did.

Impacts down under are rarely small (stop it). After what happened with Bianchi the FIA just cannot afford to take a risk w...
