2015 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Yeah. It was odd. Never had them do that before.

 

What Nico needs is a big fat number 2 from the Team so he knows his place. I'm sure Max could better fill his shoes if given the chance or a number of other drivers. He may be a good driver but I believe the car does most of the work and he always fails to perform when the pressure is on.

 

I'm inclined to agree with you. I called him a choke artist during the race and the guy beside me in AMG Merc gear just nodded his head and smiled.

 

I so wanted Rossi to grab the last point but good on him for keeping that Manor alive when so many others failed.

 

He just needed a double retirement in those closing laps. I thought he might get it during a some RB on TR action on turn 15 with 3 or 4 laps to go, but alas, nothing more than tire rubbing. That would have also helped in my quest of stray bits of carbon fiber post race. Came up empty on both fronts.

 

What is the deal with Hulk? He is having a Crashtor kind of season.

 

I called it, mchonder/ button did a little better due to retirements.

 

Rosebud is a weeenie.

What an awesome race! Great driving by any number of drivers. Youthful mistakes mixed with cagey veteran moves. Lewis had it / didn't have it / had it again. Nico cemented his place in history - can't be a happy camper. Ferrari must be shaking their heads at having re-signed Kimi. Perez is maturing. Next week should be quite interesting, 7K+ feet of altitude could have some interesting effects.

The 2.2L twin turbo they are pushing is essentially the engine that Indycar uses currently and yes

When they showed the replay of the Hulkenberg / Ricciardo crash during the race , DC said " it looks like his wing is already broken " just before they made contact

 

Did you make this? Its amazing!

 

Great job on the video, I couldn't get it to work the other day. Reminds me of the days when the cars were always so on edge and sounded like race cars. There was no such thing as fuel and tire management, just flat out from start to finish.

 

I've been watching since the late 90's. Sure there were times some drivers and some teams were managing a lead or win (Schumacher and Ferrari, Vettel and Red Bull come to mind) but not anything like it is now.
