Re: Vettel v Ricciardo 2014 watch
^^ Not me .. I never criticise strategies because I have full faith that the teams do their best given teh evidence "at the time" and I do not beleive in the conspiracy non-sense plainly because no team will harm their own chances in trying to big up the other. However - this race was Vettel's and D...

Safety Car Lottery... Idea to fix
I have never seen such a lottery as the SC at Hungary 14. Race was completely reversed on its head. It may be entertaining to see a bloke driving the fastest car from the pitlane come up the grid but this was just ridiculous. No other SC lottery has altered the results as much at this one? The whole...

Re: Hungary Merc Team Orders: Did Hamilton make the right ca
Who cost Rosberg the race win? Rosberg. Nope, it was the timing of the first Safety Car. Rosberg would probably have won if he (along with Alonso, Vettel and Bottas) hadn't already gone past the pitlane entrance when it was deployed. Actually I m gonna open a thread about that. Thanks for reminding

Re: Hungary Merc Team Orders - [Merged]
If the drivers were the other way round, I believe LH wouldnt of waited for team orders he'd of just attempted an overtake.

Re: Hungary Merc Team Orders: Did Hamilton make the right ca
And Hamilton has the pace for more than second if the team had put him on the optimum strategy. I don't see how people can't see that. Hamilton was in front.

Re: Hungary Merc Team Orders: Did Hamilton make the right ca
I would very much have liked to be a fly on the Mercedes wall yesterday. Hamilton cost Mercedes points, though I can see why he wanted Rosberg to fight for the advantage the SC took from him.

Re: Hungary Merc Team Orders: Did Hamilton make the right ca
It might be true that Nico was never in a position to overtake Lewis. Seeing how close Nico came in the last laps the podium and maybe even the win was still in reach though.

Re: Hungary Merc Team Orders: Did Hamilton make the right ca
I think that Hamilton probably weighed up the benifits it could do to Merc's WCC challenge (which is basically won anyway) vs. the damage it could do to his own WDC challenge and made the right decision. I think it's such a red herring when people say drivers should always follow their employers in...

how much closer did Ham wanted Ros to be? He was timed at .2 sec behind .. thats as close as the timer can meausre..
Hamilton was clearly defending... I say Nico rid himself of the nice boy image and give back what he gets.. What say guys?
