Formula 1 2016

Yeh, I dont see anyone else on the grid worth signing up ahead of next year.  That other German is doing well but you only have to look at him next to his team mate at Manor and you can see he is no way ready for the seat next to Hamilton....it would destroy him

[Roy]

And now a lift on the radio ban...muppets cant make up their minds. I can't believe these ppl get paid a fortunre to run this show. Now we have to listen to engineers telling Lewis what gear to be in and where to brake whilst Sky tell us how awesome he is for using every tool at his disposal. Real WDC stuff whilst any other driver receiving coaching is a  hack and not capable of driving the car

Will nico and jenson get their penalties retroactively dismissed and any points deducted, reinstated?

Is this the same Rosberg who has lead the championship all year until just now, and has a longer winning streak than the best driver in the world? 

Yeah the same one who has lost the wdc 2 years running and squandered a massive lead in this years which he gained on the back of his team mates bad luck/bad management/stupidity.  The same one you saw sooking on the tv last weekend*.

 

 

 

*Having said that he is now guaranteed to win at home this weekend.

[hrd-hr30]

Yeah why would you want Rosberg? Next minute, pole vs the greatest driver in the world in the same car... Who's sooking now? lol He is better than Nico at that but!

roll on the excuses!

Nico was carrying more fuel too apparently, so a few tenths faster than his pole time

[Roy]

Point he is easily good enough to get the job done if Lewis doesnt fire on a particular weekend. Between the two of them even if they didnt have a good car advantage you would imagine they woudl still be qualifying well and racing well and taking solid points haul

 

I am surprised to say I feel a little sorry for the Russian....he is absolutely gutted and lost at the moment.  Bring back Petrov

Well done to Nico then. A day in the sun and at home too.  Good luck to him.  Never said Hamilton was the greatest driver (the greatest tool of this generation perhaps, other than, errr, Tool) just that he is quicker than Rosberg and that the tens of millions of dollars they pay Rosberg don't appear to be warranted.  Sure they can afford it but even so....

Would still have my money on Hamilton for this years WDC, though.

Just watching the GP2 race right now, SOOO much better than F1.

Better looking cars, better sounding cars, better wheel to wheel racing and the only team orders are win at any cost!

[Roy]

At Monaco it was a little embarassing that the sound of the GP2s off the city was miles better than the F1s

[djr81]

Not the most exiting race - but Dan ran well so that was good.  NFI what is going on at Williams.  They need to find some speed and soon.  Had also thought Palmer may have turned the corner after his last weekend and qualifying.  But again he was outshone by his team mate. The Honda looked to have some horsepower, shame about the fuel consumption.

[hrd-hr30]

I think Williams and a few others with tight budgets are focused on next year's massively different cars and making do with what they've got for the rest of 2016

[djr81]

Maybe but what they've got at the moment is being belted by Force it India. The low downforce/low drag advantage they used to have appears largely lost and they are nowhere with high downforce settings.  Be interesting to see who they get to drive alonside Bottas next year.

[hrd-hr30]

yep, FI have been much improved since their Spain update. 

Williams messing around with the extra illegal wing on test days says to me they're more interested in testing stuff for next year's high downforce cars. Hopefully it pays off. 

[Roy]

Rosberg just plugging away. Still think he is going to struggle unless Louise implodes

[djr81]

Lewis usually implodes off the start line.

Wonder who Williams will sign for next year.  List of likely candidates doesnt look promising.  They need someone with some money and who can drive.  Kind of limits the field.

I thought this years thread was destined for the second page!

 

disco dan's move was awesome!

[dezz]

I went to a mates place to watch the MotoGP, which was on at 12:30am so good timing f1 wise... I was embarrassed to be an f1 follower... F1 is a disgrace as far as a spectacle goes...

[GTR32X]

Guys wondering if there are any good streaming channels to steam the F1? 

Would love to watch the race tonight. 

Thanks everyone...
