Formula 1 2016

[Roy]

I am getting just a little excited about a Rosberg WDC.

 

Bring it on.  Very keen to see the dynamic of a happy Rosberg and a sooking Louise next year.

Did not expect this:

Jolyon Palmer stays put at Renault in 2017.

Renault Sport chairman Jerome Stoll says:

“The line-up of Jolyon and Nico harnesses the benefits of continuity and fresh blood,” Palmer said.

“I am sure that having Nico as a team-mate will help push Jolyon to greater achievements.

“We thank Kevin Magnussen for his efforts in 2016 as he has done a great job for us this year. We wish him all the best for 2017 and beyond.”

“We have been impressed with his increasingly strong performances on track as the season has progressed.”

“We are confident that the combination of Jolyon and Nico Hulkenberg offers a very promising driving force to meet our goals.”

Shows how serious they are. He has been pretty average despite a season in the pits and a season of Fri testing.  Can think if 4 ppl who i feel would readily jump in the car and trounce him...much like Mags has all year

[djr81]

Yeah but to be fair he appears to have been getting better and the better of Kevin lately.  Goes postal on the radio which is always amusing.  Magnussen is supposedly off to Haas.  Guessing he got pushed.  Still happy for the Hulk after all this time he may have got a properly good seat.  Will see how much coin and how good the Renault is next year I suppose.

Reckon Britney will win another race this year?

Is it just me thinking f1 is dead now days?

[djr81]

Possibly.  If that last race didnt do anything for you then there is no hope at all.

[dezz]

You know a sport is struggling when it needs rain and intervention from race direction to create excitement

[djr81]

Best F1 races have almost always been in the wet.

[dezz]

What does that tell you...

[dezz]

Congratulations Rosberg.

[UNR33L]

I fell asleep halfway through.. but congrats Rosberg from what I read Hamilton was being a twat up front 

[tweety bird]

Lol @ homo throwing his toys out of the pram.

[Missileman]

If I was Hamilton I would have done the same thing, re backing britney into vtool, it was his only option to take the championship.

 

Congratulations to Nico, he had the right combination of skill, luck and equipment, good on him.

Yeah what other play was homo going to do? drive off into the sunset?

[Robzilla32]

And Nico is out of here.....didn't see that coming

[Roy]

Surprised and disappointed as i loved his tenacity. But good on him. Proved himself alongsidevtwo greats in Michael and Louise and got a WDC for his efforts.

 

 

God let Button get the call back to McLaren and let Alonso walk due to performance clauses!!!!

+1 that would be some entertaining racing I would love to see. Jenson would probably be gagging for the seat too

[dezz]

Wasn't it button's call to walk? Or was he talking shit in the interview I saw where he said its up to him if he exercises the option to race for McLaren next year..

[JAS-25T]

Could see one of the redbull guys going there.

This is true, but he doesn't have to carry on the way he does.

This is the thing that I like about Rosberg. He is much more.... Professional I guess. All these reports coming out now that Hamilton was going to walk away from Mercedes blah blah blah. As if you would walk away from the best car on the grid mid season.
