Formula 1 2015

RBR dug the hole ... no doubt.

But i say BS to chassis argument. Look at how RBR had an average chassis at the start of the year. They were allowed to develop which they have done and easily one of the best 3 going at the moment.

Argument could be made that they are the best.

Now engines...all but 3 teams are locked into what they

are given/bought. You could argue Williams get the same gear but this year they have been behind in spec and it is absolutely an engine formula. They tried to fix that issue years ago by freezing engines as a variable to within a few percent.

Now thats its a variable let others catch up just as they can from an aero or susp or brake perspective. Freezing it when it is a huge variable is silly as Renault and Honda teams are forced to sit out a season.

Good on Merc for getting it right...theybdeserve their championships....but imagine if other teams were banned from developing a blown diffuser...or an F-Duct etc....

Engine homologation has, is and always will be, shit.

Means Ferrari will be running their engine with the last of the tokens used for upgrades. Be interested to see how it goes. Not sure why Kimi didn't get it. 10 place grid penalty probably wont hurt him anywhere near so much.

Kimi is also taking a 5th engine this weekend. It's just not newsworthy for him because he's on half the points of his team mate and not in contention for anything.

Vettel is really only racing Rosberg anyway. Hamiltion's 66 point lead is basically insurmountable with 100 points left on the table in the 4 remaining races. He could DNF two of them with Vettel winning both, and still afford to finish 2nd to Vettel in the other two...

That's an awkward way of saying Vettel would have to win all the remaining races and hope Lewis DNFs at least two of them to even have a sniff! It's never going to happen.

Alonso will be running the new Honda PU all weekend too for the first time - only used in a prac session before. So it will be interesting to see if that goes any better than Jenson's old PU. Apparently this new spec engine introduces their direction for next year.

Let's be honest vettel isn't as big of a tool as homo is.

i dunno about that.....

TBH you have to have the sort of attitude they do to be a world champion. You can say what you want about homo but he can bloody drive.

[Missileman]

Vetlel is much easier to like when he is not waving his finger around and being a proper prat, if he can show he can be gracious winner as well as a loser he would have my support.
