Speaking of "twisting"... you do a pretty good job of it yourself, souvikbh. The TEAM can accept compliments because THEY won the race... the driver is nothing more than an integral part of the team... a fellow employee. That is especially true in the case of the recent MB teams... as there a fair ...

Inappropriate quote removed I'm sorry but I did listen to Hamilton's statements. He did call into question Mercedes. That was the impression that everyone, from the TV pundits to many fans received. Only after did Wolff attempt damage limitation. Maybe he did go back to the garage and gave a "do it...

because we don't believe rosberg will all of a sudden have bad luck.

he aint going nowhere for now

Another option would be to get rid of him. There are 20 other drivers on the grid who would love to have Hamilton's bad luck of having to drive that car. An none would bring what he brings. What precisely does Hamilton bring that the others don't? I'm confident today's winner wouldn't do too badly ...

Hamilton not happy with Mercedes "all these Mercedes engines and its only mine that breaks down. Something doesn't feel right" 43 engines for all customers and Hamilton has had every single failure from 8 cars? "Something or someone does not want me to win this championship" says Lewis....He's angr...

Nico well off the pace. It looks like he'll have to settle for second and regroup for the next grand prix. I'm still praying for a Hamilton DNF, but not likely. :( In Monza he was miles off the pace and look what happened. Exactly, the race will be decided at the start. not if it rains midway throu...

Hopefully Verstappen takes out Rosberg at turn 1. Really? Is that how you want Hamilton to win his championships? :lol: :lol: :lol: A better race would be Rosberg and Hamilton crashing and taking each other out. Is it too much to ask that we have ALL Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari cars battling it ...

There's barely been a fight for the title on track due to realibility, incidents or starts. Hopefully that changes for the last 6 races.

don't count on it changing

I thought Mercedes decided not to split tyre selection after what happened in Austria, when nico didn't have anymore softs so they put him on ss which weren't the ideal tyres.

Hamilton seems much to relaxed for what has happened lately. Just such a weird feeling about his demeanor lately. Doesn't look mad, upset, very strange. Are merc going to manage to keep these two from racing each other till the end of the year. Going to be an interesting end to this year if Hamilto...

Merc doing a good job of keeping their two drivers away from each other. Monza was pretty bad and i didn't expect this race to be any better. I'm 76 and have been following F1 since 1952 and getting up in the middle of the night to watch the majority of the races makes it hard to be a fan sometimes...

in the beginning of the season we were told that the wdc would be decided in the last race and won by 1 point. so far we are on course for that reality.

This is a chance for RBR and Ferrari. This is the only track I think Mercedes will loose this year under normal circumstances. They should probably have 2 Different stratergies for their drivers and SC situation totally agree, split strategy. Riccardo better hope he doesn't get the short end of the...

I just saw weather report on TV and it says that it's gonna be thunderstorm in Singapore on Saturday (I mean, seriously?)

if only the gods could hear our plea.

cant Mercedes let them really race each other instead of make believe racing. I was really hoping for a fight up front, Hamilton has got the engines now let them go at it.

maybe rosberg didn't have time to study Hamilton data

Don't worry, at some point Max will clash with Lewis. I just hope there won't be a major accident. After that, Lewis knows hot to get media/fans hyped up so that Max will understand that ALL the other drivers can do what he does, but it can really cause huge shunts. I really hate the approach Lewis...

I'd have been very interested to see how the race would have panned out for Alonso and Hamilton, I feel their strategy was somewhat compromised by not running the medium tyre as long as intended, particularly given that it was probably the best tyre to be on. the red flag probably did more harm tha...

the podium celebrations were so refreshing too see. every single one of them seemed genuinely happy to be there.
I wouldn't be able to do what ricciardo did by drinking from my shoe. but good for him.
wish we could see more celebrations like today.

He could've received clarification in a way that didn't jeopardize his teammate's qualification. TBF their is nothing in the article to suggest that he didn't do exactly that. Is there anything in the article that substantiates their guess behind Lewis' motives? All we have in the article is Lewis ...

Hamilton questioned it because of the safety concerns which surround it. Many drivers had issues just Hamilton did something about it. He wants clarification for the future to what is acceptable and what it not. The fact is Hamilton should not have had to do anything as the stewards should have loo...

It was an interesting race, I think Nico did well today in race pace. I will have to have a study of the lap charts to see how much Lewis found when he got the hurry up to decide if he struggled or not. His out lap must have been a shocker though, he lost like 1.5 seconds to Nico even though he sto...
