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.

Paul.

 

Agreed. Either way, he attacked his team mate on lap 2 with no chance of making the pass. Stupid move whether it was technically legal or not.

 

Indeed, and in so doing he cost his team a bunch of points.

Paul.

 

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.

 

I thought it was just a racing incident, but the crowd sure wasn't impressed.

 

Yeah but he pissed off his boss(es). Never a good idea.

 

He's a German in a german car. He could rape their bosses' daughters before the actually started giving a real **** about his actions!

 

Fair point about the daughters, but his actions cost the team points. Priorities.

 

Senna's behavior then was not cool at that time. Some of Shumi's actions were uncalled for as well. What will someone do in order to outdo someone else? This is a question MUCH bigger than F1. If you have the ***** to drive off the track at high speed like Alonso, I tip my hat to you. When you're involved in high level spying and then sell out your whole team (Also Alonso) I say shame on you. Wrecking in order to stop a qualifying session is LAME! I have no respect for that person. When Lewis wants to cry about race (Skin color), I lose respect. When Vettel starts whining for the team to provide a strategy I am quite amused.

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.

Paul.

 

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 definitely seems to be throwing down. It would make for an exciting season if he could take the championship this year. It was great to see someone besides Red Bull winning races but replacing them with another runaway team is getting old.

 

Next On Bernie Ecclestone's Agenda: Revenge
He is like a cartoon villian brought to life.

 

During an italian interview Ricciardo started flexing after being asked how strong he is. I love that guy!

 

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?

 

I hope not.

 

any of you guys going to follow Formula E? First race about to get kicked off...

 

nope, they're too slow to even bother.

 

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.

Paul.

 

i have to agree.

 

Holy crap. Watching the Singapore GP made *me* tired. Exciting race. And Rosberg has finally gotten a taste of DNF.

 

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!
