2018 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Agreed. To add its much more interesting for the fans when its a close race.

 

Mercedes should stop the "our drivers are free to race" charade then , speaking of insincere

 

They are. To a point.

 

Yeah up to the point Bottas might win and Wonderboy might not

 

I don't think MB goes that far nor do I think they will. But once one or the other is well in front its "team sport" time.

 

Bottas should have gone all Multi 21 on his ass

 

totally agree. it's the corporate speak from Wolff. bs always. you can't please the people and the huge multi national corporations both. for some reason he doesn't see himself and it's so painfully obvious.

 

Ferrari sure screwed the pooch with their strats for Qualy

 

I feel for the Honey Badger. "F********k!!!"

 

You can watch and fast forward on ESPN.com. I don't even bother with the DVR anymore. I get up, make coffee and breakfast and log on to watch. I guess if you want to watch on the telly you have no choice though.

 

Ferrari have lost whatever battery power advantage they had over Mercedes in the mid season , Vettel keeps making errors too , not sure why he drove into that closing wedge at Spoon , that move was forced and never going to come off .

Season decided

 

Man, I really do not like the comentators or should I say the "CrashStaphen" apologists...
I miss the old drunk kinda looking guy and the mechanic. Not a fan of Vettel and he was pushing to get in there, however CrashStaphen will always close the door. In the interview, CrashStaphen said that Kimi should of let him back in, like that is exactly what he would've done.
I get that Crash Stephen has a massive following and he is bringing a lot more interest to F1, as we do not have a Senia Prost rivalry going on, just a Hamilton and himself competition...
Vettel and Ferrari just kill themselves when they get close, just don't get it...
I think Vettel is done as well, he will not be the champ this year...
Anyway, just my thoughts from the armchair

 

VER first crash was his fault and he took 5 secs during the race for it. VET reached too far and caused the second one. Luckily his was the car that spun.

Until now I didn’t really understand how much Marchionne did for Fiat and Ferrari. They are a ship with no rudder.

 

First was totally on Fishlips. True that on the second one Vettel pressed at an unwise location but he had a power advantage and didn't understeer. Fishlips slammed the door too hard and caused the problem. Fishlips is extremely talented. I think he has the raw talent to be a multiple times world champion but is handicapped by being a hotheaded, rash, child that only very, very, slowly learns from his own mistakes....if ever. Until he matures and gets that out of his system he is destined to be an exciting and well paid second or third place season finisher at best.

 

This must be what it's like for OZ when everyone always complains and bashes the The Walking Dead. So many haters.

 

Schumacher was always a prick on track too.

 

Vettel was never going to pass Verstappen there , he wasn't even going to make the apex

 

and that Vettel 3 to Hamilton 0 is probably 51% or more of what this championship has been all about.

 

Given how inconsistent the stewards are with penalties I'd say there are +/- 5 points all around on that chart.
