"Fernando, Felipe's engine is far superior to your whole car. Curse loudly if you understood the message"

"Alonso covering Toro Rossos". How the mighty have fallen...

Yeah, the parody known as +90 hp advantage strikes again. Had they had even remotely comparable cars, he would never pass judging by how long it took him even with this massive bonus

Lewis has been better on fuel saved, so he might start with a lighter car, but the % difference is small. Can he even do that? There were many voices Canada will use up all 100 kg of fuel and drivers will need to save it using any means possible at the end of race. http://www.formula1.com/results/s...

Irbis

So going by the above Rosberg has done the back-to-back once to Hamilton's TWICE...! 4:3 is still a draw. Plus Hamilton has 4 x back-to-back wins...? Without anyone using forbidden engine mode in Spain, it would likely be 3:3 in wins so far and Rosberg not losing WDC lead for even a second. Again, ...

ROSBERG POLE!! Vettel Third!

He he he, all the fanboy puffing and huffing going on Canada revenge for Monaco and Vettel being worse just died quiet and inglorious death!

Irbis

Hamilton should win the race from Rosberg by a few seconds by the end then if he's around 2 tenths a lap faster. Could be a tasty battle for third between the Red Bulls, Force Indias and Ferraris though. Massa's soft tyre run looks good too but Williams have been struggling to get heat into the tyr...

Im hoping for a williams podium, Williams getting pole would be only thing that would save the ratings of Formula Mercedes, yes. That's why I said everyone saying "what if renault/ferrari improve" was naive - mercs have far better shoot at improving as it is, I'll be really surprised if there will ...

Irbis

So, looks like Top 6 is going to be 100% Mercs, both Williams and McLaren have huge pace. I wonder how much better Red Bull cars have to be than everyone else combined to get this close on such worthless engine

Irbis

Ericsson crash, plus another Renault engine failure. Who could have predicted that?

Irbis

Gutierrez to miss qualifying after crash Ah, was wondering why he wasn't out. @tgruener #F1 All 8 Mercedes powered cars allowed to use a new quali engine mode to release a few extra horsepower. Don't know how much though. So that pretty much nails in Williams and Massa for 3rd... Looks like both Ma...

Irbis

Oh, look, Mercedes just massively locked up brakes. Rosberg trying... Oh, wait, it was the other car. I thought Mercs can't lock up unless you try to do so?

Irbis

and gifted a second rate driver 4 WDCs in a row. <Raises eyebrows> :frown: Don't feed the troll... Yeah, his nickname pretty much matches quality of the post. Claiming this year Renault engine isn't crap due to past, completely unrelated engines? What? I don't understand how you can say that Ferrar...

Irbis

Even Glock has more points. Yes, he won that race, but what has he done since? You know, I wouldn't call this comparison fair simply due to how much longer drivers you mentioned are in F1 compared to PM. Compare how much points they had in the same period of time since starting F1 career, then we c...

Irbis

Or John Surtees and Jackie Stewart? I wouldn't count Surtees because for much of his career he was the only driver teams employing him (see for example his whole Honda stint) fielded, making him not beatable by definition. If we count that, I'd like to propose myself, as I have never been defeated ...

The FIA's combining the two forms was well-intended, but never happened, except when Ascari/Ferrari competed in 1952 at Indy. Though, I wonder why that was the case. You'd think a chance to score some cheap points, say by paying US team to let your driver take part in their car, would be something ...

Irbis

This is wishful thinking as far as Kimi vs Alonso goes-- and the way Ricciardo has perfomed makes me doubt Vettel. What, missed start today? :uhoh: Had Vettel car was all right, he would have been on podium today, maybe even 2nd since his start was far better than Ricciardo's and he would have caug...

Irbis

Still have no idea how Lewis got anything in his eye :? Maybe it was euphemism for "I want to cry now"? 8) to be fair I think Lewis is upset this race more than usual because he feels robbed of a win - due to qualifying... He robbed Rosberg from win in Spain, using underhanded tactics, as it just c...

Irbis

Congratulations. Well deserved!

Irbis

So, turns out LH cheated Nico in Spain and his "defence" of position was simply using higher power engine mode both were told not to touch.

Then, Nico utterly crushed him today. Not so bad for #2, eh?

Who knows, maybe there will be some entertainment in this season after all?

Inappropriate post removed.

It's official - when he said 'do a Senna' he meant being utterly crushed by up and coming new, talented German driver

Nico won the race to the first corner and Lewis fell behind at least one of the Bulls and was behind both by the end. That was before he had rocketship even Max Chilton would win in with one hand tied behind his back. I'd love a repeat of last year, but the car alone makes it trivial 1-2 without a ...

Irbis

Dirty side of track puts Lewis into big disadvantage. Lewis will rather look after Riccardo defend his 2nd place and later both Nico and Lewis will pull away from the rest of the pack. Lewis will need good pitstops to win the race. Going to aggressively will be stupid, because rather than gaining o...

LOL thats great. Couldn't tell if he was laughing because he was having so much fun or because the woman in the back seat was strawberry herself. Yeah, it's not like Daniel is professional and the woman either stunt expert or actress feigning fear, he must be having a laugh at [use any sexist name-...

He then released the following statement: I'd had a good weekend so far and I've just been concentrating on my own performance and working on the pace one step at a time. Qualifying was going well today but in hindsight, I should have nailed my best lap before the end of Q3. This is Monaco and ther...

Alonso not that hard to beat? x( Some people have awfully short memory and "forgot" 2007 was close only due to both cars being set up by veteran Alonso (when he stopped sharing his setups, performance of the other car fell like a rock in finish positions). If McLaren didn't made the other driver #1 ...

A very hollow pole. As if any pole made in current Merc wasn't hollow :o He was down on sector one then parked it in sector 2, make of it what you wish So, according to many LH fans, Rosberg is a psychic who reads minds of both engineers to know he is down on time, reads future to know he can't sti...

Yeah. How exactly RB are getting close? The closest was Malaysia with Vettel splitting Mercs, ever since then it was constant 1-2s.

As any lawyer will tell you not guilty does not mean innocent ;) Last sentence of article pretty much says it. Nothing found in telemetry or video, ergo innocence, no?

Yeah he did a Michael. he beat his teammate fair and square. Now he only needs to do it second time and 'do Michael' by winning WDC :-P He should be sent to the back for ruining everyone's fun :] Funny that, everyone except followers of a single driver think he single-handedly saved this race and m...

Nowhere near the same thing. in both of these incidents what Lewis chose to respond with showed Rosberg in a bad light. and in both ways he could have mad Rosberg look good (respected) or spoke some useless stuff to keep things as is. Yeah. To paraphrase French president, LH had 3 occasions to say ...

Official site: http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2014/5/15874.html Nico Rosberg has retained pole position for Sunday's race in Monaco after the stewards decided that his off-track moment during the third and final part of qualifying did not require further action. The Mercedes driver faced inv...

Irbis

Nope. And anyway, he had 9 previous minutes of Q3 to beat Nico, should have shown he can then. He just couldn't for whatever reason. For all we know he would push too hard on his own lap and do the same mistake.
