Re: Rosberg 14 vs Rosberg 15, better?

They've been team mates 3 yrs. Hamilton has won ever season. In that time Hamilton has won 2 world championships at the moment there is no doubt who the favourite is.
I'm sure that is probably reflected by the bookies.

Re: 2016 Pre Season Testing

My only hope is that Mercs aren't dominant. If we could have just two very evenly matched teams it'll make for a much better season. Even as a Hamilton fan him tying the title up with races to spare isn't the spectacle I want to see. Hopefully the McHonda improves and Red Bull can bring some fight t...

Even if he'd one stopped he would have been caught Nico was 1.5s faster than him with a 12 sec gap and 14 laps to go.

Re: 2015 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Qualifying thread

It depends. If you want to assume that then that's your perogative. But Lewis fans have and always will say adaptability is part of being a driver. Making excuses is poor form. Kimi/Vettel/Button have all used this excuse before whereas the greats generally find a way to make each car work for them....

Re: The Official NICO ROSBERG thread

I'm asking you whether you think Rosberg is poor at adapting and it's taking this long for him to get a car he's just as suited too as Hamilton is.

I don't think it's anything to do with the car. I think Rosberg it's simply out performing Hamilton at the moment.

Re: The Official Football Thread

They generally don't actually add on time in added time which is why you'll see teams wait and make subs to kill time in added time.

Also the time shown isn't the amount of time to be played. It's the minimum amount of time to be played.

Re: The Official NICO ROSBERG thread

No one has said Hamilton is that much better than anyone else. He's better than Rosberg that's evident by the last 3 yrs.

Rosberg made mistake after mistake prior to Hamilton tying the title up. Excuses are easy to make admitting Hamilton the better driver appears difficult.

Re: The Official Football Thread

A team is allowed to take a quick free kick if there is communication made with the ref just a glancing nod or the ref is told prior to the match it is something they have planned.

Re: The Official Football Thread

There was 5 mins added on. However the ref added on another 3 minutes because of he Everton fans storming the pitch.

For a goal there is 1 minute added on. For a sub there is 30 seconds added on.

The biggest rule in football I would change is change it to a game of 60 mins and have a stop clock.

Re: Hulkenberg or Perez?

Hulk has had some stellar drives. Defensively he's brilliant and I'm sure Alonso would attest to that. There was a period of time when they kept being together on track which gave us some excellent races. He's also got his pole at Brazil. His junior record speaks for itself and he's a Le Mans winner.

Re: Is Vettel Driving At a Higher Level Than 2014?

Alonsos 2012 was an amazing season. That car shouldn't have been in the championship reckoning in how many weekends did he have the best car?

He's not the best qualifier out there we know that but when it comes to race day there aren't many better. If any and 2012 was him at the peak of his powers.
