Mosha Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Rosberg had the wrong engine setting, his mistake. His car was 1.5 kph slower has a result. Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie69 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes it was a mistake that disadvantaged ROS, but he still has right to defend. I truely believe HAM didnt estimate his closing speed, nor expect ROS to defend (which he hasnt had a history of doing) so he avoided. ROS likewise didnt correctly estimate the closing speed so moved across. Its easy for us to analyze in slow mo replays and still photos of their steering wheels, but this all happened in a second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie69 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Anyhow its all history now. HAM & ROS will come together in Monaco and the Ferrari's & Red Bulls will advantage. Go RIC Edited May 26, 2016 by Aussie69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dick dasterdly Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I was looking forward to quali as Monaco is a track that requires precision and the cars are looking a lot faster, but it still came as a shock when Ric won pole!

Aussie69 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I can't tell you how @#$% angry I am with Red Bull. This car (engine) has limited opportunities in a season to get some decent points, they have thrown away these opportunities two races in a row. As for ROS, yes a very underwhelming performance.

Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk In a way I do. But then you have to remember Lewis was stuck behind Nico for 7 laps and Nico was under preforming by 2 seconds a lap. Publicly Lewis thanked Nico for being the perfect gentleman,but their again I was wondering just how many laps and how many times he was asked o let Lewis past? But there again would Lewis have let him past had the situation been reversed? A good and exciting race, but still think Lewis would not have let Fernando hold him up.

Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk I do believe Lewis is the better driver, but also they both are very equal, in actual fact probably if all drivers were driving equal cars there would be 6-8 drivers who beat the top. Even though it is Nico who will be out of contract if he does not renew with Mercedes think it may well be Lewis who will be the one to go. Lewis has proved his loyalty with both McLaren and Mercedes,but he certainly would be up for the challenge as now Red Bull & Ferrari are catching up,my bet is he will be driving a Farrari with in 3 years.

Mosha Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Is Ricciardo angry enough to walk out of RB. When you see him without a smile on his face, you know something is wrong. Sent from my SMART_4G_Speedy_5inch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie69 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Guys Im a bit confused. I thought the regulation changes for next year would force engine suppliers to supply to teams who wished to buy. This is/has been a significant factor for Red Bull. So they will finally have the opportunity to buy a merc or ferrari lump - and they go sign up with Renult again, both teams. It baffles me.

If you took the problems he had in Q3 and the fact he got stuck behind Nico for 7 laps who was some 2 seconds a lap slower, that mix up in the RB garage only equalled things out. So IMHO the best driver won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
