That's the problem with engine freeze. They can make "some improvement", but obviously it is not enough to bridge the gap. From my understanding you can't change 100% of power unit, but considering how far behind Renault (and Ferrari) are, I am afraid they basically need a clean sheet design!
However, partial improvement is clearly not enough for title challenge. At the moment Mercedes is well over 1 sec per lap faster. Even if Red Bull-Renault package manages to halve that gap, 0.5 seconds is still a huge gap and unlikely to enable you to compete for the title...

Does Nico think we all see him as squeaky clean?

I doubt it mate. My guess is that he might rather be known to be ruthless, but realistically I suspect he, like the rest of the boys club, don't actually give a firetruck what we think!
May the forza be with you

In anticipation of the upcoming qualifying. Remember, even if Hamilton's suffers a mechanical problem and is forced to start from the pits, and Rosberg starts from pole. Hamilton will still finish at least 2nd.
If I were Rosberg and I saw Button's reaction to my comment. I'd go up to him and say "Hey ********. I may not become world champ tomorrow. But if I do, it'll still be a more legit title than yours!" And "See you on the grid next year..."Last edited by journeyman racer; 22nd November 2014 at 13:17.

So in the other thread. You have no problem with blatant blocking and weaving. But you have a problem with backing someone up to slow them down and make their position vulnerable, even though it not a dangerous form of driving? Ahh, ok.
I haven't come across anywhere other than here that something like would happen. You've just made up this bs, because it's one more dig at Rosberg.

Well the Mercedes is almost as dominant as the Brawn. So really I don't think either Lewis or Nico could take the high road with Jenson here, unless they both accept that whoever wins the title was greatly aided by a dominating car.
I'm going to try to catch up with qually on the DVR now.

Bonus points to Bottas for being the only one of the top three qualifiers to knows how to wear a freakin' baseball cap.
