Re: Is anyone else getting a bit frustrated with Rosberg?

I think Dan became frustrated with his Red Bull not carrying enough straight line speed to overtake the Mercedes so he went for a rather kamikaze move. This pretty much ruined Nico's race and a chance to close the gap on Lewis. Lewis really is the lucky one there as his early exit through the grave...

Re: Question for Australian Viewers

Honestly, I'm starting to lose interest, Montreal last night was the first race in years that i have not followed in some shape or form.
Otherwise I have followed every single practice event, Qualy and race.
Not going to lie, some of that may be a factor of Redbull being uncompetitive.
