Formula One 2014

how funny was it listening to Louise stress out towards the end. Your car is 3 sec a lap faster and you'll be coming out on brand new tyres compared to the others on dead tyres. It was never going to matter where you came back out after the pitstop ffs.

Was also interesting to read Vettels comments about how he thought it was odd-risky for Homo to overtake him where he chose to rather then wait one more corner and a straight...Vettel said he had to kove over for him so to avoid risk of contact. Seems Homo just likes the drama

[wolverine]

No Schuey Chop from Vettel? Is he losing his German-ness?

[Gts-t]

My prayers were answered, no doubt it's lew's turn for the unreliability next race tho!

Was hoping for a closer race after quali

Would be shit for it to be decided at the last race because of the lame double points nonsense.

Also:

Ferrari have signalled approval in the past for the prospect of running a third car, and their position remains unchanged with a spokesman saying:

“It’s not about the survival of Formula 1, but for the show. With all due respect, people would prefer to see three more Red Bulls, Ferraris and Mercedes than the other cars.”

Well, I for one wouldn't. Would rather see the midfield get enough coin to be viable. Time for Ecclestone to sod off and sit in a retirement home somewhere.

I have a feeling that it will happen.

The stupid thing is that 14 points between 1st and 2nd at the final race means that there is a very strong chance of whichever Merc driver wins there will win the championship. Imagine if you are Homo then going in with a 12 point advantage and way more GP wins then anyoen else this season and you dont win the WDC. Its pretty silly.

It is rather shocking the reliability issues the Mercs are having. They are worse than RBR, McLaren, Fezz, Williams, FI etc when it coems to mechanical retirements. Good thing they are so damn fast.

Pulling out a 25 second advantage on used tyres over about 10laps is pretty clear indication that they enjoy a huge pace advantage

Vettel should have done the team thing Singapore style and taken out Hamilton while he was going for the overtake.

Then, Dan would get the win and with both Mercs out it would make the wdc more interesting ?

Honestly, with reliability, engine penalties and double points, I wonder if Seb not moving over for Dan will matter at year's end. He is 60 points behind Homo...shame he got robbed of his Melb points.

[hrd-hr30]

lol, hasn't that FFM issue faded away... Strange that nobody seems to have issues with it now that Renault have improved the engine's power...

[Roy]

I think you will find that the manufacturer has innovated their behinds off and the units are now largely production ready....vs the start of the season when they were steaming pieces of shiza!

[hrd-hr30]

either that or everyone else was right... which the court process proved anyway, remember...

If they were really steaming pieces of shiza at the start of the season, RBR would have been able to prove that in court. Instead the full decision of the appeals court says:

As evidence of the reliability of its fuel flow model, the Appellant provided a series of graphs...Several graphs actually showed that parameters had changed from one lap to the other and that one cannot, therefore, conclude that the fuel flow model did not change notably... On top of this, it appears that not all parameters... were shown in the graphs

That was Red Bull's "proof" - doctored graphs and refusing to fully disclose the parameters used to esitmate fuel flow in their model!

The meters were fine.

LOL, meters were rubbish but other teams had the same problems, but they suffered in silence and went with the proper procedure. RBR picked a fight and didnt follow the correct process and got burnt.

RBR doing a hatchet job over the politics around the faulty meter doesnt mean the meters were not problematic. Says I

[hrd-hr30]

The facts are all out. No point talking about opinions, let alone 'what ifs' about lost points - Mercedes's lost more certain points than anyone else this season!

[Roy]

Its car forum and I am a fan boy.

[sh@un]

I can only imagine how balls-to-the wall quali will be in Abu Dhabi; Starting P1 there might almost guarantee 50 points at the end of the day

[Roy]

Eat a d1ck Horner

[wolverine]

That wasn't awkward

[Roy]

Now that he is d1cking a Spice Girl and has front row seats to kiss Bernie's ass he seemed to have forgotten himself there for a second. Why if you were in his shoes you would d1ck a Spice Girl and kiss Bernie's ass is concerning

[tweety bird]

So brabham is coming back to Motorsport.

Interesting.
