Re: 2014 Monaco GP Practice and Qualifying Thread

I think redbull are close enough that a good lap from either driver could make the difference.

Re: Mercedes sign Rosberg for another two years

Also Hamilton is known for choking when the pressure is on, lets see how he handles it this year. The redbulls will be up too speed come the last 5 races and they will complicate matters somewhat. Not only is Rosberg a good re-signing if he can keep up the pressure and even win 3 races of the next 8...

If Rosberg is within 30 points of Hamilton with 5 races to go im going t...

Re: Button says inexperience of Magnussen hurts McLaren Spee

Hulk has a lot more points than Perez this year, but too Perez's credit he is picking up the pace.

I just think Magnussen has been thrown in the deep end and he cant handle it.

He said the same thing about Perez, and its proving true in both cases.

He had softer tires that were 8 laps fresher and it still took him 4-5 laps to get past Kimi at the end. He got the job done though and pulled ahead by 10 seconds in a few laps,if Ferrari would have moved kimi over early nando would of finished 4th. Race was very exciting especially by Barcelona st...

Re: Driver of the Spanish GP?

No way it was Vettel, he just drove a fast car too where it belonged.3 stops was the quicker strategy and if Alonso had clean air he would of beat Vettel.

Hamilton by a mile,withstood tremendous pressure and a car that wasnt to his liking.

Re: Vettel v Ricciardo 2014 watch

Ricciardo is just so smooth behind the wheel, and he is extremely fast.Have a look at his onboards at how smooth and precise he is.He is the greatest talent to come through the ranks since Hamilton.

Vettel needs more rear downforce to make his setups and driving style work.
