The only real problem i see here is the interference from the pit. I figure Brawn sees it as: Hamilton fought for that position and Rosberg shouldn't be given the 3rd place just because Hamilton was out of fuel. Tough luck man! does the fact that Ross Brawn and Toto say that both cars needed to sav...

I posted this before but I'll post it again as it answers a lot of questions from a team point of view : http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/106384 now I'll wait for your link cheers again. @jeshannon as soon as you can show me a real reason the team held back a faster car with fuel to burn...

Let me start by saying that I was once an avid supporter of the "Let them fight" philosophy. I believed that all racers should be allowed to compete for themselves until such time as they are mathematically eliminated from competition. I have come to develop a far greater perspective on racing howe...

HAHAHAHAHAHA I forgot about that! Was going through old Montoya videos this week, I'll never forget when he hits the cameraman or "F***ing f***ing Raikkonen! What a f***ing idiot." One could only imagine what would have happened had it been Montoya in Webber's seat on Sunday.... An amazing fistfigh...

Believe it or not I think Lewis was more angry that Rosberg outpaced him during the race. He still isn't dialed into the car yet, and he the one thing he hates is winning by gifts. Lewis does not have a handle on some of the particular characteristics of the car (as in Aus and Mal, Nico was killing...

nike2die4

At the end of the day, we don't know why these team orders were issued. Nico clearly doesn't think Lewis has No. 1 status and, if the comments reported by Lewis are true, neither does Lewis. It could well be that Merc have a 'no overtaking after final pitstops' policy and decided to enforce it, eve...

Vettel can't see it lol,he is too far ahead.

nice feedback, care to explain ? so what happened today will not change anything ? why would next races be any different from this one ?

let's see because next race is in China and not Malaysia

sorry that was wide open,had to take it.

-> Webber will win a couple of races to show Vettel, after that RBR will come back to push for Vettel, destroy Webber' KERS routine. -> Mercedes will always keep Hamilton in front of Rosberg if he happens to be at the front after their final pit-stop, of course next race I'm betting all my savings ...

I have never been a fan of Rosberg, I have always found him bland and anonymous. Today has probably been the first time since his debut I've remembered how he did in a race. Hope he can keep this level of performance up. Provided Ross Brawn doesn't keep him down! :uhoh: :uhoh: yes Ross decided to s...

Wow, you don't even know this and you are asking questions like you asked

Does anyone else think that's this was Mercs way of sticking it to McLaren? It's as if Merc were saying: Look...we got your former driver on the podium first before his replacement has" Just my opinion.. Nope not one bit It was Merc giving their contractually entitled number one driver his right to...

First of if you want a WDC you need to back one driver. Sometimes to gain a WDC driver in your team you have to agree to him been #1. However we have no idea yet if lewis is #1 , its possible, but we dont know. I think thaht question got answered today - yes, Lewis is #1 in Mercedes. so if Lewis ge...

nike2die4

Disgraceful. Team orders that benefit the team's championship challenge like those at Red Bull and Ferrari of recent years are one thing, but team orders that are contractually obliged to massage the ego of your superstar driver are pretty dispicable. i don't get silly comments like these...did you...

I respect Brawn's decision today. Why? Those points of difference can make you win the championship . Ask Fernando Alonso if you don't believe me. Correct, but if this had been Massa told no to overtake Alonso some forumers would be pulling their hair out and babbling the usual nonsense about favou...

http://youtu.be/T0FxB01S4-E ...the audio is English with subtitles in Spanish, basically the media (mostly the UK media to be precise) destroyed Alonso insulting and humiliating him during the press conference after the team issued the infamous "Alonso is faster than you" team order to Massa, what ...

nike2die4

They certainly didn't put too little fuel in by mistake. It was a calculated risk. If Hamilton and his engineers were willing to risk short-fueling for those extra tenths per lap, they should obviously bare the negative consequences of that risk as well as the rewards. It's completely unsportsmanli...

nike2die4

Wow, clutching at straws are we? I love all the contorted theories being put out by the Hamilton fan club to make excuses for him. He drove a good race, but Nico drove a better one...something Hamilton has acknowledged himself. But yes, I'm sure Brawn did a comparative analysis of driver telemetry ...

nike2die4

Hamilton may have some genuine sympathy for Rosberg, but he's probably more embarrassed that it had to come down to that more than anything else. he has always prided himself in not wanting to be #1 and wanting a competitive team mate,what am asking is if he felt so bad why didn't he give the place...

nike2die4

at the end of the day all this is irrelevant,Rosberg passed him twice but didn't make it stick...his own fault really. this is disngenious in a way. lewis was told to manage his fuel even more in the last lap. he had already been doing so for some number of laps. if rosberg had been given no team o...

nike2die4

I'm not basing it on what I heard myself during the race though. I'm basing it on the fact that Rosberg wanted repeatedly to pass Hamilton which means that at no point did anyone tell him to conserve fuel. So because Rosberg didn't hear it, possibly it wasn't said. Not during the race and not to hi...

it would have been too funny if he actually stopped and the jackman jacked the car up before having the "oops" moment.

open minded doesn't mean you should agree with every single one but it means that you should be open to the fact that things are not always what they seem,i maybe wrong but you seem to sound as if you know that Rosberg for a fact didn't have any issues when the only fact is that it's a speculation ...

agreed,we are always harsh on Red Bull but today they did good by Webber,Vettel and himself alone turnipped Webber over and you can tell the whole team was tiddled off,even Marko was not happy about it.

Rosberg was cleary faster. I hope we won't see any hypocrites criticising every Ferrari call. Team orders are part of the game. Hamilton's race was compromised by the team, so they decided to level the playing field for both drivers by asking Rosberg to hold station. The Ferrari thinggy, no comment...

People who should know better are trying to say that Vettel's action today is no worse than Silverstone '11. Webber was told to hold stationback in '11. In essence he did. He did not pass Vettel Vettel did not. He passed Webber. The completion of the act is EVERYTHING, as one driver robbed the othe...

nike2die4

I don't disagree with Ross saying they don't want an incident, and they're controlling the pace for both drivers. Fair enough. What I don't agree with is not letting the faster driver in the circumstances (Lewis was under-fuelled enough for Ross to ask him to coast on the last lap) through. When on...

i never rated Rosberg much but he is really impressing me...good race the Mercs are having too.

If Red Bull can't master the tyres and that means they are slower than last year and the other teams are nearer then that is tough luck. It means a better show for us fans.

The tyres are to weak for F1. It's a shame, Pirelli seems not to be able to produce tyres wich are up to the challenge. Tyres wich break away during racing are not up to the standard of F1 Tyres have always done that. Nothing new. The year we had durable tyres, 2005, there was next to no overtaking...
