Hamilton didn't shake Putin's hand?
He don't know who he is?
You are quite a bitter man, are you not?Quote:

Awkward atmosphere in the room with Lewis, Nico and Valteri. Yep, things are definately back to normal between the two. :D
I'm bitter? lol
I'm just saying. Chaz Mostert came from the rear of the grid... And WON!
Rosberg, 2nd. Not as good as winning.
Putin surprise, surprise the only world leader who is big headed enough to demand being on TV in the room with the drivers.
I thought Hamilton was ignoring him, but at last shaking his hand.
Putin not using this as a publicity stunt at all.
Cmon dj, there is not a conspiracy in everything. Ricco went into the pits on lap 12. When Vettel went into the pits Ricco's tires were twenty laps older and still Vettel couldn't close him down. They were not running similar pace. Ricco was faster on the second set. No conspiracy. Just faster. Vettel is lacking motivation.Quote:

Erm. Laps don't count here. Rosberg ran the fastest lap on the penultimate lap on a set of tyres that was 51 laps old. The fact is, Vettel was left out way too long, he had to run more than twice as long as RIC on the softer tyres. That's a massive undercut they handed to Ricciardo and Vettel was right on the pace with RIC. Danny wasn't an ounce faster yet demanded a team order and got it. Seems like there are no hard feelings at Red Bull...Quote:

Vettel just announced on German TV, he'll not take part in Austin Quali and start from the pitlane and take a new engine instead. :o
Raising the white flag?
soft****!
Embarrassing.
Do you really believe they forced Vettel to stay out that long, as if Seb didn't have a say in it? He qualified eleventh, which meant he had a fresh set of rubber. Of course he was going to stay out longer. It was his choice to pit whenever he wanted to. He was not pleading on the radio to come in.Quote:

We are talking about the race, but some are bitching and talking about every team suddenly conspiring to screw certain nations drivers.

Neither did people think they're going to fix race results, yet they did. Two people from Mercedes confirmed that part of Nico's 'undisclosed punishment' after Spa was to relinquish a win to Lewis should the situation arise (ROS and HAM in 1,2). While those two people used inofficial channels to communicate this information, there is no reason to think two unrelated folks within the Mercedes team are spreading the same disinformation. Gives a whole new layer of complexity to Toto Wolff's grin when Nico had his second 'mistake' at Monza.Quote:

I'm wondering why we don't have a bunch of people jumping for joy during a race tires weren't a factor? Everyone blamed the results on tires when they were wearing quickly, now that they aren't we had a boring race.
Button quietly drove to a good finish, and Mag did the same. Fred didn't punk Kimi quite as bad as usual, and Ferrari clearly showed some legs over the Renault powered cars at this track. I was actually surprised that the good handling of the RB didn't help them more, but it seemed that both Seb and Daniel had their hands full to get the positions they finished in.
Ricciardo punks Seb once again, and Lewis punked Nico once again. This story seems to be a trend. :)
Looking forward to the USGP and hoping that the track levels the field a bit. Knowing that the Mercedes powered cars will finish towards the front is as boring as the years of Ferrari and RB domination.
Until you can provide a credible link that proves this, it's just bullshit and you know it.Quote:

In case you actually missed the race. Seb, starting from 4 positions behind Ricciardo was actually ahead of him after less than 10 laps. RIC demanded team orders via radio, which Seb answered by shaking him out of DRS range in less than two laps. He was then maneuvred ahead by Red Bull giving him a massive undercut. Seven seconds ahead of Vettel after the latter's way too late pitstop, Ricciardo lost further three seconds over he rest of the race.Quote:

RB have forgotten awfully quick, who gave both their teams the first win and won 39 GPs and 4 titles for them. F1 has never been sentimental, but RB shafted him publicly for having the audacity to going to another team and that's an utter lack of class. The day will come when Danny RIC will be thrown to the wayside the same way when the next shiny new driver comes along.
What do you expect me to do? Name the individuals so they can be sacked?Quote:

You must be utter hell on the alien abduction forums.
Two people from McLaren told me there is a ufo being hidden deep inside their Technology Centre actually. ;)
My contacts tell me that in fact, this may be the true reason the new base was built in the first place.
btw didn't Mercedes members also let slip Rosberg did go off on purpose in Monaco? Doesn't that count though?
You can mock me all you want. It's easy to mock people on an internet forum. But once you get in contact with people, who actually work in F1, you'll quickly realize that there's an awful lot of skullduggery going on behind the scenes.Quote:

Since most of the teams run a corporate stream-lined PR department these days, many team members build inofficial contacts to independent sources, like TJ13 to get stories out without having them censored by the PR drones and you'd be surprised how far up the food chain some of these guys are. At one point we got daily updates from Caterham guys. We had the story about the Bailiffs ransacking Leafield when the buggers were still at it. You can believe it or you can decline to do so, that's everybody's right, but don't assume you can tell if I'm a nutter.
After all, three years ago you'd have called me a nutter for insinuating that the NSA engages in wide-spread observation of their own people and even taps into the private phones of allied heads of state. We know better now, don't we? Not that I knew before, but the point is - just because something sounds impossible to you, it doesn't mean that it actually is impossible.
In an intellectual discussion, you are expected to back up your claims. That's how it works and you aren't up to it.Quote:

OK, so Mercedes is fixing races and Red Bull is screwing Vettel, right?
If this is the case, then surely its fair to assume Vettel got an unfair advantage to help him win his 4 titles?Quote:
