I think it's a mix between being brave and being very good on the brakes and handling the car. Can't deny he is a talent and an exciting prospect but I also believe that tr chassis is great and probably benefitting from red bull using them for development despite them claiming to be run independentl...

w1Y!

Merc have obviously hurt the dictatorship but I'll tell you one thing. This sport is running on thin ice. Potential of red bull leaving. Start mistreating a power house like Mercedes and they'll leave. Then what? Because this sport will struggle without them whether you like it or not. Time the team...

w1Y!

I think his criticism is fair. His mistakes cost teams massively.

Though he pulled of a great overtake on lap 13, I think, of japan

w1Y!

It's racing!

w1Y!

It will only backfire.

Because as someone said there will be merc fans that will just turn it off

w1Y!

I dont think lauder is expecting dominating coverage but to pretty much get zero coverage the whole Weekend is not right.

Didn't even see them in qualy so the whole I wouldn't have watched if it was merc on screen is a mute point.

w1Y!

I think even if you look at monza the initial drive wasn't great. I don't think they have as good traction

w1Y!

The whole thing is backwards

F1: we want to have the current engines to help technical innovation
F1; we will restrict development and therefore prevent technical innovation

w1Y!

So in the best car on the grid as shown last week seb can only get 4th

[/sarcasm]

w1Y!

I see lewis falling back to 4th at the start tomorrow. Mercs seem to be getting jumped at the start except the pole sitter as he gets breathing space from the other merc fighting

I was logging to say thermae thing about the whole qualy and saw your post. This really really really irritates me.

In no other sport do you not get to watch the best

w1Y!

I do t think it is rumour in regards to ferraris qualy mode I think that is well known.

After monza qualy I believe lewis was asked about how close ferrari could be in the race and his reply was something along the lines of the engineers think differently and he was spot on.

w1Y!

If they are off the pace in susuka I'm gonna cry conspiracy I don't care what fans think there is no way they go from pure dominance to 3rd best that quickly with so little change. Let's not pretend that if it is tyres that engineers up and down the paddock didn't have an understanding of this. It w...

w1Y!

So basically we would get no tyre strategies at all. Everyone would run the same number of laps and then pit

Let's see how mich would do in a limited testing environment

w1Y!

Why is the seat of Massa and Bottas so safe? Why is the seat of Kimi so safe? Why is Maldonado still at Lotus? Why did Manor replace Merhi and not Stevens? These questions bug me much more than Rosberg's performances. How many years did Kimi drove in top cars in comparison to Nico? Who knows how mu...

w1Y!

Good time for him to go imo. Good driver but not great. He has had moments of great driving but simply doesn't had the speed. He has only really outperformed in unique situations. Doesn't deserve a decent car just foe sentimental reasons. He can't mix with the big league any more. Rather mag be give...

w1Y!

I think merc mgu-h is the master peice in it all. Taking heat from the tyres which is uncapped energy.

w1Y!

Rosberg has already said that he made drastic changes with his set up. Nothing worked

w1Y!

That was there problem. Couldn't get heat in to the working window.

I said yesterday the whole thing stinks a little. You don't lose that much performance!

w1Y!

So rumours this morning that merc have been given a secret, different compound.

As ludicrous as this sounds I wouldn't put it past this sport

Edit: ^ also just see your post

w1Y!

I just don't think this track suits the merc.

The kerbs being one of the big tracks and the corners are a lot slower than japan

w1Y!

Are you saying you don't need good grip through parabolic because merc were a different level through there

A car doesn't lose 0.7 secs of dominance and another 1.5 secs just in one weekend.

If they are this bad in Japan lewis title hopes have gone

w1Y!

Rosberg saying his engine went off a few times in parade track.

Something fishy about this track. Webber had some weird electrical interference a few years ago if I remember correctly. Also happened to massa today

w1Y!

I think the big question out of this weekend is whether rosberg should be put as a defined number two.
Kimi already is and ferrari should have gone for someome young. Bottas and hulk aren't right for that seat

w1Y!

There are two explanations

1. Higher tyre pressures not helping merc at all. Which if the case is big issue for the rest of season

2. Circuit dependent and completelt different to Japan. Slow corners, lots of kerbs and completelt different to Japan.

w1Y!

Also can f1 cars be hacked?

w1Y!

Merc need a 1-2 at Japan.

w1Y!

Can't see how rain will help merc. If they are struggling to get temp in their rears rain isn't going to help

w1Y!

Their practice race pace wasn't great either I think a lot of their issue is track dependent. Today is about minimising the pain. Only time to worry is if they struggle in Japan but they don't fo from the dominance of Italy from lewis to this overnight in regards to car performance. I would be disap...

w1Y!

I expect vettel to win from the front tomorrow. Don't count the red bulls out though. Their race pace looks fantastic. I would also wonder how much ferraris qualy mode speed adds to their pace. They won't have it tomorrow and if merc cars miraculously get in the window in the race and don't get held...

w1Y!

I think they've gone too soften set up yet still not getting grip.

You could see on the on boards lewis had no grip and was not taking the kerbs

w1Y!

KurtC wrote:so where the almighty Hamilton when his car is not the dominating one??... could at least put that rocket car in top 3??

Enjoying his two race advantage and shinning his pole trophy

Top lap from vettel

But I guess that's the difference between vettel fans and lewis fans. Vettel fans have no class

w1Y!

Button on sky f1. Practicing for top gear

w1Y!

Hamilton making mistakes now that he has competition and not the absolutely fastest car. What a level playing field when the importance of engine power is minimized. I agree. Forza Seb! That is the difference between a four time and a two time champion. Hamilton 1.5 sec off Seb. Beat that! Lol that...

w1Y!

How thw he'll do the mercs lose that much pace advantage

w1Y!

Vettel gonna smash it

w1Y!

Mclaren still miles off pace

w1Y!

Ric didn't use ss either

w1Y!

I also wonder if merc have reliability Concerns. Top dominated by ferarri and renault

w1Y!

They keep talking tyres but all season they've been saying how the merc doesn't like the kerbs
