Lewis trying to back him into Seb again?????
:p
Commentators thinking Kimi may be in good shape at the end.
Sounds like Ferrari are trying to spank Kimi :confused:
Kimi likes to whine tho
Things could go pear shaped for Ferrari. I could see Kimi getting really pissed off by the end of this race if this strategy doesn't work ;)
Haha Vettel ahead again
Nico will be sick in that cockpit. :p
Haha. He drove Vettel clean off the road.
My Pickems are out the window today...... damn Taz. You gonna real me in. :mad:
Mine are not looking too bad but nothing special :D
All the time we've been running pickems nobody has ever got 8 out of 8 and y'all don't look like changing that today!
but I look like I'm getting all my picks in....I think :p:
Just woke up but need to be at work by 6pm so, ciao!
Woo look at Kimi, and Alonso doin alright too. Wonder how the FGP goes.
I spoke too soon Felipe aint gonna make it!
Blimey
Seb is making so many errors today. Unlike him.
Rosberg is now again a broken man lol
Silly mistake by Nico
Well done Hammy and especially well done Kimi
Bit of luck for Ricciardo to cross the line with a lunched engine
Great finish by Danny boy! :laugh:
Well done Kimi, VB, The Boss, and .........Fred! ;)
Another Renault blowing up :confused:
Seb forgot that there isn't an easy run-off area at every track ;)
Boss does a Baseball reference! :cool:
Another fun race here, whatever happened to "Bore-rain"? :D
Sounds like when Rosberg ran wide at the end there to allow Kimi through, it was a car issue, so doesn't detract from his good performance today... still not quite good enough though.
What is it they used to say... if the car falls apart as you take the chequered flag, you got the reliability exactly right. So good work from Renault from that point of view ;)
Not in these days of engines having to last several races of course.
Podium interviews now - just waiting for Rosberg to blame Lewis for his braking issue at the end!
Jackie Stewart looking ridiculous as always :D
Hamilton has no love for jackie stewart who thought he was wrong to leave mclaren, and then thought he wasn't going to win the WDC last year. lol
Anyway, its good to see a past winner on the podium doing the interviews. and jackie will always be the man for his safety efforts in F1
Sorry! :angel:Quote:

Nice Mia :kiss:, except Seb actually spanked himself. ;)
Nice job Jens, and Mintie'...... helped me knock Steve down a rung.
Having woken and just looking at the results at the top. Raikkonen in 2nd, and ahead of Vettel, is the nice surprise for me today. Perhaps a bit fortunate by reading this fred. But sometimes it doesn't matter how it's done, as along as it's done.
Overall a good race IMO. Plenty of good drives today, and not many donkeys.
At least Ferrari seem fast enough to push the Mercedes a little, and that might have contributed to the brake issues. That and the split strategy from Ferrari seems to catch Mercedes off guard. I hope the reds can keep taking the fight to Mercedes!
Monster late brake moves by Nico, really the best on track moves he has made in quite a while. I think when he got Seb during Hamilton's pit exit Seb just thought they were too close and didn't continue moving over, but either way Rosberg dove in and made it stick. Of course those on track moves could have had a hand in the later problems overshooting the corners, but really we will never know.
Lewis lost the gap on that pit stop, but pulled back enough to give him some room even when he had his issues. He is back on form this year and might be hard to beat unless someone slows his momentum.
Kimi cut some killer times on the harder tires, and though he wasn't sure on the strategy it worked out.
Sucks for Tazzy bear, he lost face and pickems points thinking Kimi would get punked by Seb!

Sorry :angel:
It seems like Mercedes was shockingly close to losing the race. Both cars had issues with brakes in the end. This time around, fixing brake issues probably is more difficult than adjusting brake bias and such because the PUs have to harvest energy from the braking force.
I suck at Pickems as bad as you suck at FGP. No worries though, since I usually forget a race or two anyway I'll never have a decent pickems season. To be honest I've never really even figured out how the Pickems scores! :laugh: And I'll gladly accept a beat down in Pickems over the season, as that $1000 I'll be collecting for the McLaren never getting on the podium will make all the pain go away!Quote:

Forza Ferrari!

And really, though the race was still great to watch, I with the middle and back of the pack could catch up some. It's almost like two races going on at once now. Sixth place finisher Ricciardo was over a minute back from the lead, and everyone from 8th back was a lap down. It's great to see that they are still racing back there, but it sure would be better if they could at least get close enough that we think it's the same set of rules they are playing by.
I'm confused about the radio rules after this weekend. One example I recall from the race was Perez being told to reduce pedal overlap, which sounds like coaching on driving technique to me. I'm sure there were some other examples in qualy and practice that I can't quite recall. But no-one has been penalised or warned. Are the radio rules quietly being dropped?
