Am I the only one who wants Nico to win?

Yes.

Am I the only one who wants Nico to win?

Yes. Cause he is German.

Approaching it from a slightly less racist angle; he's a dishonourable asshole and he's tried to get one over on Lewis a couple of times throughout the season by being cunty.

German isnt a race. White is a race. White European is a race.

At first I thought Monaco was intentional, but he's done the same thing twice now and donated lewis 2 race wins off it, so maybe not?

 

[caLLous]

I absolutely think he meant the Monaco thing but I think he was just trying too hard at Spa (and Suzuka) and failed in an epic fashion. I don't know that there's a way of hitting another car and being sure that you'll be ok to carry on and it will end his race (you could luck out with a puncture I guess but it's by no means guaranteed).

He's not really German! It's a stretch of the imagination.

It's not much more than a rumour but the idea of Audi entering F1 makes me all sorts of excited.

Seems a bit unlikely. Would be a complete about face for VW, who've always turned their nose up at F1.

Now Marussia is in administration too. Not a good few weeks for the "new" teams.

 

[Jupitus]

It is definitely a bit worrying for the sport, and what all the fuss has been about over cost-cutting. There is a pair of steel magnates (see what I did there?) reputedly lining up an offer for Marussia:

... but I really hope they don't bother unless they really are 100% committed.

 

[ECA]

The problem is these teams were promised a strongly cost capped formula by bernie and it was never delivered.
They expected to be able to run competitive teams for 1/3 the cost they ended up running at.

Hamilton > Rosberg

 

[ECA]

That's like saying Bacon > Tofu.

 

[Raven]

Or red > brown.

Yep, if Lewis doesn't win the championship it will be a travesty (especially if he loses it due to double points wankiness). Whenever they have actually been up against each other on track (discounting reliability etc) Hamilton has come out on top.

Anyway, that was a great race! Some fantastic scraps, especially for the lower points towards the end.

It's always so awkward in the post-race pre-podium bit, just leave them alone.

 

[ECA]

Rosberg does have better hair though, so I guess he's got that going for him.

 

[Scouse]

Am I the only one who wants Nico to win?

I've given up giving a fuck about F1 - watched it avidly since the mid 80's, but I simply CBA now. But whilst I don't particularly want Nico to win I fucking hate Hamilton.

 

[Exioce]

Hamilton has 10 wins so far this season, still trying to wrap my head around how Nico is still within touching distance of him.

3 DNFs, 5 issues affecting qualifying sessions that handed rosberg significant race advantages, 1 on track collision that was rosbergs fault that handed him a 25 point free pass.

it's fucking ridiculous that it's even this close and could potentially be ruined by abu dhabi.

Lewis can finish 2nd in both races and still wins the title, only mechanical failure or crashtor will deny him the title.

 

[ECA]

The dumb thing is, if rosberg DNFs in brazil and lewis wins its a 49 point lead, and lewis/rosberg would both have 3 DNFs, but if lewis then DNF'd abu dhabi and rosberg gets 50 points, wlolololololol.

Still, writing Nico* until he retires would be amusing.

 

[Jupitus]

A small step in what would be a long recovery if he makes it, but promising in itself:

[caLLous]

He'll never race again but at least he's out of the coma, that's a big step. It's also great that he was stable enough to move him half-way round the world.

 

[caLLous]

So Alonso is leaving Ferrari after all. *surprise*

 

[Draylor]

You'll never guess who is replacing him

 

[Hawkwind]

Got vip tickets to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, I find it quite boring personally but the drinks/hotel are free and the Who are playing after, rock on! Think my son will love it

*jealous* !!!!

 

[sayward]

Anyone seen the video where Alonso is asked whether he'd like Jenson as a team mate next season. Sorry can't do a link.

 

[CorNokZ]

Button is out and Magnussen is staying. Alonso is in too
