So much for any of the other teams catching them up. They were soooo dominant today. The fact that Rosberg was quicker than Williams, Dan etc on hammered tyres...those things rarely show their true speed.

Seems very ominous for next year too. They only have to tweak this years car to remain dominate whilst RBR, McLaren and Ferrari need to find 1.5-2.0 seconds over Xmas :(

Oh well.

One thing about last nights race was the joke that the FIA call track limits, Vettel in his usual great form driving straight off the track at most corner exits.

A worry too that the Redbull was slower than the Torro Rosso. Hoping Williams can find something in the off season. Package things up a bit better. But the Merc is so much quicker everywhere.

Not 100% sure, but has Nico beat Hamilton in a straight fight this season? A clean weekend with no issues or anything?

Like somebody said, this years merc is good enough to win next years WDC too

Its entirely possible Hamilton could be a two or three time champ by this time next year

I just dont see Nico staying with him without mechanical failures keeping him in it

Britney has won 4 races. Australia, Monaco, Austria, Germany.

Homo has won 9. In the four races Britney has won Hamo has:

Australia: DNF'd

Monaco: Came second after the qualifying yellow flag thing.

Austria: Second after starting ninth. He screwed up in qualifying.

Germany: Third after starting twentieth Think this was the one with the brake problem which put him into the wall.

So yeah - once if you don't include Monaco. The three races Dan won - Canada, Hungary & Spa. Homo DNF'd in two and In Hungary Britney got beat.

+1 boring economy race. Think the Toro Rosso's being slightly faster (at one point anyway) is just down to the difference between the two cars and perhaps red bull took a wrong step on day 1 with setup. Being Russia is a new track its not crazy, even though Red Bull probably have 11ty million engineers for deciding initial car setup.

I think Rosberg could take it to Hamilton if he wasn't thinking about sealing the drivers title. I think he wants to get it done and is cracking under the pressure. Another Homo car failure and he will get all depressed again. At least take the title to the last race.

Well, I cant recall Lewis every really going that well in Brazil...then again I cant recall Rosberg doing that well there either. Looking at the final 3 tracks US and AD look good for Homo over Rosberg. I wonder if last night was a bit of confidence Rosberg needs. He has been doing panicky moves in the last few GPs and handing it to Hamilton without making him even earn it. Last night all he had the inside line and all he had to do was put Lewis to the sword by being wheel to wheel on the inside. ...or wait until DRS...just too panicky and trying to hood wink Lewis rather than set him up for a cool, calm move like he did just about the entire grid last night...whislt makign his tyres last.

So, yeh,. Hopefully last night will give him some confidence as he is been scrappy

Title will go to the last race. 50 points for a win basically guarantees it will. You only get 7 points differential for a 1-2. So 17 will only get to 31 if the current trend continues.

But consider that in the last race, the difference between first and second will only be 14 points, so if Lewis only gets to the final round 14 ahead and Merc 1|2's again with Nico winning, Lewis still takes the drivers title on win count backs.

Fairly hypothetical, but y'know...

he hasn't been the same since that happened at Spa.

i live in hope that he's saving up the next tyre slicing for the last round and 50pts ;)

Sochi track looked pretty good. And that Turn 3 was a ripper. They just need more fuel so they can make a proper race of it, instead of hybrid hypermiling live on worldwide television...

Here here. It'll prevent a German clean-sweep trifecta of 2014 (World Cup, Constructors title, WDC).

Rosberg is a Finn. I dont care what he says.

Doesnt matter if he was born and raised in Germany, Rosberg is a Finnish name :P

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
