Re: Hamilton vs rosberg. Part 265

Lauda recently said that Lewis had lied to the press about his relationship to Nico improving in order to be able to focus better during the Austrian weekend, and that he had destroyed his hotel room after Baku quali. Pressure seems to be getting to him, which might explain why he decided to crash ...

Re: Team orders at Merc

I think there is every chance if they keep on running into each other, although personally i wouldn't like to see it. What I find interesting, is that while Hamilton said he wouldn't like to see team orders, Rosberg said he would be ok with them. I don't know what, if anything, this says about the ...

Re: Team orders at Merc

The situation at Mercedes will not work long term, team orders will not help this season and Mercedes are far enough ahead in the Constructors that they can continue to try and manage their drivers internally with fines and telling off's until at least the end of the season. Beyond that I think they...

I don't really understand the debate here ... It's fairly black and white, you have to leave a cars width, Rosberg didn't do that and caused a collision.

Is Bottas not contract to Williams for another season? I seem to remember him saying that his contract expired at the end of 2015 and I'd be surprised if he had signed a 1 year deal.

Re: Silly Season 2017

I also heard somewhere that Palmer might not see the end of the season at Renault. I can't find where i read it but it was befo...

Brawn 2009 illegal? Newey himself congratulated Ross Brawn and said he was very clever with that.

Prodromou must have played a top role in that. Lets not forget that in 2014 the situation was the complete opposite: best engine, average chasis. And two very mediocre drivers. 2014 proves nothing. Button a mediocre driver? Seriously? IMO yes, very. Care to back that opinion up with any kind of fac...

All I want to see is a fight for the lead, which once again we will not have a chance of. If Hamilton has a clean race he will finish second, and by the time he gets there Nico will be 20-30 seconds up the road. I'm neither a Lewis or a Nico fan, but it will seriously bother me if someone who is at ...

I don't think the Kimi situation is as clear cut as some people think. Look at the reluctance to dump Massa when he was not performing relative to Alonso, despite better options potentially being available. If Kimi responds to the suspension change and can find a bit more pace I think that Ferrari w...
