Mosha Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 OK season is almost upon us. According to the BBC McLaren have approached Mercedes over an engine deal. This follows a disastrous testing in Spain with Honda.http://www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/id/18921075/mclaren-approaches-mercedes-engine-switch-reportSent from my iris 505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpatOilWorker Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Such a shame Nico Rosberg left F1, he did such a great race in 2016. Lewis Hamilton is not a team player and not worthy of the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Qualifying - Hamilton edges Vettel for China pole Lewis Hamilton claimed his sixth successive pole position on Saturday, as he pulled out all the stops to top qualifying for the 2017 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix, after Ferrari had led the first two phases of the session. It was another close fight between Mercedes and the Scuderia, with Sebastian Vettel splitting the silver cars, only a tenth off Hamilton and just a thousandth of a second ahead of Valtteri Bottas in third.

Not sure about the not worthy bit, he is clearly one of the three best drivers on the grid at present and in the opinion of many ... the best. NR only won because of LH's 'unbelievable bad luck' with his engines and some poor grid starts. LH is a racer and a good one.

Jai Dee Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hamilton relishing Sunday rain, despite ‘going in blind’ Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton says he is 'so excited' about the prospect of a rain-hit race in China on Sunday, regardless of his almost total lack of experience of Pirelli's new 2017 wet tyre compounds. Hamilton, who took pole in the dry on Saturday, said his only reference points come from two 'slow' installation laps in the wet on Friday in Shanghai, during which he failed to set a time. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel managed likewise - while in contrast Valtteri Bottas in the second Mercedes ran four laps on Friday, but also took part in the official wet tyre simulations during pre-season testing, when he racked up 68 laps. "Tomorrow is going to be an unusual day... it's going to be wet potentially, and I haven't driven the wet tyre this year," Hamilton said. "So tomorrow will be a new lesson for me. "It's super exciting for me because we're really fighting these guys, having to raise the bar every time we go out - it's amazing. And I think Ferrari's race pace is a step up [over their one-lap pace], particularly when it's warm, so it will be interesting to see what the weather brings. "Whatever the case I think it will be close, and that bodes well for one of the most exciting races..." Hamilton also said the new regulations mandating standing starts in adverse conditions - rather than a rolling start commencing once the safety car pulls in - will heighten the tension and drama. "It's also exciting as the starts are so much harder than before," he explained. "I think there will be a lot of variability - a lot of people struggling to get away due to wheelspin. "You have to drop the clutch with no reference points, aiming for 100 percent - but you're just guessing. And the difference between two percent can make a big difference to your start."
