he got overtaken long before his tyres were a problem. What does him not crashing into other cars have to do with it? :? You could see the blisters already. Hamilton got a great start and was leading comfortably. The race turned because of a bad strategy call and a mechanical failure - not his faul...

Just seen a replay and what I didn't realise was that Max bumped Kimi which helped him make his overtake. Naughty. I'm surprised the stewards didn't do anything I think they did evaluated the contact, no further action they said. Just racing yeah I'm not looking for a retrospective penalty, but Max...

Hilarious. There's a vote for Hamilton already There's always a few joke votes. Bottas has one too. Not sure what’s funny. Not like it was Hamilton or Bottas fault that the cars failed or the strategy was abysmal. or that he got overtaken? er, ok Right, when his tyres were blistering. It’s not like...

Kimi also forced Max off the track between 2 and 3

Guessing he wanted to go on an expletive laden rant

I thought Vettel has number 1 status written into his Ferrari contract?

IIRC they don't normally do much if both drivers make it through anyway

Hamilton impeded Grosjean at Silverstone last year and only got a reprimand. I guess Vettel will get the same.

davidheath461

Decent length run up to turn 1 and the Ferrari's start on the US (Merc on SS). I think Vettel will have a chance at gaining a place or two.

davidheath461

He'll get a slap on the wrist. Stewards won't want to ruin the championship fight.

No confirmation on where Kimi is going. Mclaren is only my guess (he was asked about them in the Thursday press conference and his reaction seemed to suggest that he has been talking to them).

davidheath461

Channel 4 (UK) have confirmed that Leclerc has signed a 2 year deal with Ferrari starting in 2019.

Seems like it could be Leclerc to Ferrari and Kimi to Mclaren. Alonso probably out of F1 judging by his comments to Cadena Cope radio.

davidheath461

How many first lap incidents has Vettel been involved in since joining Ferrari?

davidheath461

5 second penalty x 2 since he also took out Grosjean.

davidheath461

Yes, Vettel showed what a great team player he was in Malaysia 2013.

So, Mercedes definitely look quicker here but just creates more questions than it answers. Is it because the track is has similarities to Spain, where Mercedes were also quicker? Is it because of the tyres, which are also the same construction as at Spain? Or is it because of the PU upgrade? Or a c...

Regardless of whether or not Vettel has occasional outbursts on the team radio, the fact is that: 1. Vettel has never blackmailed his own teamboss 2. Vettel has never burned bridges with anyone. His divorce with Red Bull was very professional and Horner still loves him. That’s why people say that V...

Well i guess it's shown that you think Mercedes had a qualifying advantage last year. The small differences at tracks like Austria, China, Barcelona etc. could easily be put down to driver differences. still not backing up your claim. Let me guess - you made it up again? So you don't think Merc had...

I claimed Vettel slated his team. I provided link to Vettel slating his team. I don't see what the problem is. Perhaps it is your definition of "slating". It appears to be quite broad and all encompassing when it comes to Vettel. Please go ahead and provide your own definition of slating, and expla...

Spain and China maybe. Austria? No way. Mercedes was the best car that weekend. Vettel had the best lap of the top four and it was a minor miracle that he was able to get so close to pole. And how do you know all this? How do you know that Ferrari have had the best car this season? when grandpa Kim...

Silly games from Mercedes, but clearly the new spec engine has given them a big advantage over the field. Another dull race in prospect - Mercedes 1,2 Ferrari 3,4, and expect a retirement for one of the RB's. It's only a dull race if you think that Mercedes are going to win, also the new engine is ...

Vettel and Ferrari are clearly doing their usual Friday sandbagging. Does anyone really think he is going to be only 0.01s faster than Grosjean in Q3?

I've already given you guys the example of Vettel slating his team after China 2012.

You want to prove something, you do the work and look up.

Slating a member of your team is not slating your team?

just add: for Vettel only. Kimi had to change his engine a few races ago so he'll effectively have one less new spec than Vettel to play with

yep, unless he takes a penalty (which seems likely).

davidheath461

A “definitely faster car” doesn’t get undercut and lose the lead. Also, something that is often ignored is that Bottas was in fact pulling away from Vettel after the SC period . Mercedes was just as fast as Ferrari on Sunday in China. That is not true which might be leading you to your conclusion. ...

Not high downforce - they ran shorter gears. Look at the wing levels they ran in 2011 and 2013 - clearly much shallower than Ferrari or Mclaren. That was because their EBD was generating so much more downforce . Not high downforce, but more downforce? OK. EBD doesn't cause drag... ;) Either way, it...
