Mosha Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm glad it was wet, but the FIA need to tell Pirelli to produce a wet tyre that works. The Bridge stone wet shifted at least 15% more water.Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Verstappen was voted as the driver of the day, for a good reason. Some incredible driving from the young fellow. Verstappen near crash Max attacks at the end of the race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosha Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Tin foil hat is on.

He clearly has talent, and now just needs the stewards to penalise him a couple of times when he drives dangerously. Not that it will happen for a while yet (if at all) as stewarding decisions seem to be largely based on 'the show' . Having given up on the stewards to make consistent decisions - it would be far easier if F1 would bring back gravel traps. Drivers are less likely to push their competitors off-track as it would result in an obvious penalty. They are also going to keep within track limits as going outside would likely end their race. Sorry - getting rid of gravel traps is a pet 'peeve' of mine and its clear that its resulted in drivers pretty much ignoring track limits when defending (no penalty)/happy to push other drivers off track (with no penalty as it wasn't race-ending for the attacking driver) etc. etc. Edited November 25, 2016 by dick dasterdly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick dasterdly Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Those of us with (or had) a favourite driver always pray for misfortune to befall the other driver . Not a great attitude I admit, but the final race is tomorrow and we can all rejoice or lament the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I haven't been shy to say that I don't like Hamilton's personality and I hope he will not win. Now, read this. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2016/11/25/lewis-hamilton-needles-nico-rosberg-says-moral-champion-whatever/ That's not a talk of a champ. It might be psychological war, but still very ugly one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted November 27, 2016 Author Share Posted November 27, 2016 Lewis may not be the champion in a few hours time, but one thing for sure he is a better driver than Nico given they are racing the same cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Stirling Moss might get a F1 record back today, 55 years after his career ended.

Mosha Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Here's a good one. Damien Hill WDC 34 years after Graham Hill was WDC. It's 34 years since Keke Rosberg was WDC.Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 At the start, Nico should be aggressive and try to get to the lead at any cost. Lewis can't afford an collision. If Nico doesn't manage to get the lead, Lewis tries to slow down to keep the pressure on Nico by the Ferraris and Red Bulls. Thunderbolt Max might also try to do couple of risky overtaking moves. I'm predicting that at least Nico's race is going end before the chequered flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Lewis apparently has been told if he drives tactically to Rosberg's detriment, they may let Nico use the undercut. Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
