This is how Lewis drives. It's one of his techniques; he WILL squeeze you out, LEGALLY (Within the rules), keeping the correct racing line. Nico may have wanted to suggest that he too has 'chest hair' but it may have been a violation of the rules or a racing incident. If he did it to "Prove a point" then he should be penalized.

I'm not sure it was a stupid move. He finished 2nd, Hamilton DNF.
We all complain about drivers not having the ***** they used to... then an aggressive driver comes and starts hauling *** in any possible way and we complain about that as well.
That's ridiculous. Senna won a championship by deliberately crashing into somebody! Yet he is the one and only true god of F1.
Alonso tried to keep a position by going in the grass on a straight at over 300kph, Vettel almost destroyed his front wing and nobody complains.
Just admit the truth: hamilton is a whiney little **** that has some real talent on his side.
He didn't complain when he hit Alonso in 2007 at Spa but hell how he cries when he's the one getting the short stick!
Last year he ruined maldonado's qualifying lap with a shitty move, Maldonado pushed him into the wall and there he was, crying and complaining.

Nico is VERY talented and generally calm. He needs to win in a fair manner, IF HE CAN. He knows Lewis will eat his lunch though
.This is why I love Ricciardo: The complete package. Calm, super quick, patient, grateful, not whining and gets the job done.

rev it up
Hamilton had to follow the racing line and as a race driver you don't want to yield easily. As a driver you also know where you car is positioned on the track and how close it is to another car so Rosberg knew his move would have caused damage to both cars.
To me that is reckless behaviour and shows internal problems within the team.
However, Rosberg would have eventually overtaken Hamilton as he is allowed to use DRS and Hamilton is allowed to defend unless the team intervenes.

He's modest... Verstappen compares driving style to Alonso - GPUpdate.net
He doesn't even have a complete gp3 season under his belt and already refers to his driving style as similar Alonso's. He basically defined himself as the complete package... lol. He'll fail like his dad.

Could the be something greater than Haas being just a junior team?
All signs continue to point towards a major change of direction at the crisis-struck Ferrari Formula One race team.

Singapore Qualifying
What a session: AMAZING!
The teams are much tighter here and the action promises to be great for tomorrow. One promising contender had power issues with his horse but we will see how he fares on race day.
They say tire management will be a big deal here, so strategies will be key and of course the new radio rules will make that more interesting/bizarre.
Can't wait for tomorrow.

Yeah, a very good race.
Formula E was interesting from a technical perspective, but the course was extremely bad, swapping cars was appauling, and the cars were indeed too slow. They should really have hot-swappable batteries of some type, so "pitting to refuel" is part of the stragety, and it is far more relevant to street use. It would also enable them to crank up the output to solve part of that speed problem.
The course though... i was shaking my head plenty. Nothing but straights and terrible chicanes or false corners. It's a boring course, until you get to the curbing, at which point it became dangerous. It's a miracle that the driver wasn't killed on the wreck on the last lap landing upside down on the edge of the barrier. A foot off and he would have caught the weight of the car with his neck.
I'll keep recording it and watching it, mostly to see what improvements they can make. The technology itself is interesting to me, just need to use it better.

I don't think Formula E will have too many performance or speed improvements until they open up the rules to the teams, which wont be until most likely next year. I'm pretty sure theres enough money in the industry for the series and cars to develop quickly if there make it a multi-make championship with more room for teams to bring their own technology.
Formula 1 had another good one, move of the race had to be Vergne on Kimi and a really good charge from Sergio at the end!
