Almost as bad as Eddie Irvine incident in France 1999.

Happens if you fall out of favor with them

He needs to remember that .

He still got second at Monaco , and where was his team mate ?

He should still be able to get a smile out .

Nope those things only happen at RB if they no longer have any use for you.

No traction is to do with the power out through the wheels. The now Renault team have always been lauded with having great traction all the way back to the days on Benneton but have made some stinkers chassis throughout the years.

There is no proof, apart from RBR blowing their own trumpet, that RBR has the best chassis. Just because Newey designed it doesn't default that it is best and they were a vastly off the pace in Barcelona, a highly aero dependant track. That gap was down to chassis and they were miles off Mercedes pace.

I was surprised Daniel didn't mention the incident that was investigated between Lewis and himself early on .
I certainly want to look at that one again .

There's not much to look at. Lewis cut the chicane, got an advantage( i.e. staying ahead) and wasn't penalized. His "cheating" team mate handled the situation better when battling with Alonso. But you don't get points for that, so ...

only cheating. But that's something only his team mate does...

That's a big call dj.

Lets wait and see if one of the techie's gets kicked to the kerb. I somehow don't think there'll be a third time Daniel will be screwed over by a dumbo mistake.

My view is that Ricciardo should've cracked a smile and Hamilton should not have been carrying on during the national anthems but that's just me...

BTW. According to Toto On ORF 1 (Austria) they taped Rosberg's brerak ducts and therefore neither brakes nor tyres ever got to temperature. Interesting that taping brake ducts has an influence on tyres.

Perhaps , but an incident like like this makes them look like fools already without him pointing it out .

Remember , it was long before the screw up that the wee Dutchman put it in the wall , so there was no distraction in the pit .
You really look the fool if you throw the race win to make a driver who's out look better .

Maybe last time out , but I don't buy the conspiracy theory this time , dj .
