Oh come on, it's not like Rosberg wasn't regularly capable of beating Hamilton in qualifying even last year. It's the race where he's rarely close.
A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I hope both Mercs just cancel each other out on or after turn 1.
Pole in Austin didn't seem to help Rosberg much in the last two years, so we'll see how that turn 1 ends up.

I might have an empty spot next to me on the Turn 15 grandstand tomorrow if someone who has a general ticket wants to join me.
Nah. I feel like the points difference will melt away one way or another.
Of course some people are going to act like it'd be "fair" for Rosberg to suffer at least one DNF, but honestly... so many champions would not be champions if another driver had had one technical issue less at some point in their season. We rarely remember them that way.

So track limits don't exist anymore? Seeming nowhere at COTA at least. Whatever. I just want consistency on enforcing this.

Consistency on rule enforcing? In F1?

Wonderboy thinks it's a "new type of racing" that he introduced.

Mr. Vetted is looking ready to go and thrash his trailer. Super serious

Hamilton was superb today, great lap.
I feel sorry for Button another bad qualifying, Alonso was better but not that much, I just hope both manage to end in top 10, what will be quite a feat and I also hope that Hamilton has learnt how to do a proper start.

The Kimi revival and Vettel meltdown has been quite amusing. Glad for Kimi, he deserved a good season after all those years, I mean seriously, come on!
He should've had that season last year and nabbed a win or two. No point in doing better now that they're back to third.
Neither does Sainz as long as Riccy/Max is their plan for the next years (and it would be a good plan)

Looking forward to HAM fucking up his start again. Lately I've actually found myself rooting for Rosberg. Strange feeling tbf
Yeah I really don't understand the Kimi hate, even from Ferrari fans. Kimi might not be the most aggressive driver but he's pretty damn consistent and a smart driver.

They probably want two experienced drivers for the new regs next year instead of bringing in another rookie. They'll also be back in Renault engines and presumably a strong team.
Kyvat wasn't shit at redbull either, but they had to toss someone for max.

What hate? No one hates Kimi, they just hate that he doesn't have the car he derseves [/denial]
I'm not surprised at all, whenever Kimi says he's comfortable in the car he almost always performs really really well. It always has been the team's fault for not focusing on his feedback
Quick reminders: McLaren days, Ferrari in 2008 when they focused on Massa, Ferrari 2009 after Massa's accident, Renault's stint, and this year in Ferrari
Just imagine if Seb didn't sabotage two of Kimi's races the picture would've looked even better for Kimi
Yep

Don't be surprised if Berger or Brawn replace him next year. Berger has been rumoured to be replacing Dennis for at least the last year (maybe two?), and Brawn was apparently recently quoted as saying "Never say never" when asked if he'd consider a return to the sport, which is a clear change from what he's been saying since he left the sport (something along the lines of "Fuck that noise, FISHING!").

Ross Brawn to tempt #blessed back to McLaren?
I am happily surprised by Kimi. I'd written him off last year as being done but he's had a great season relative to what he's having to drive.
Where/when did he say that?
It's a misquote. It was actually Hamilton who said it.

The thing is the moment Verstappen was promoted Toro Rosso was kinda put on hold as the team that "trains" new drivers for Red Bull. I don't see a chance for RBR to change their drivers anytime soon, that's unless Ricciardo isn't successfully convinced to move to Ferrari.
I stand corrected.

Wait what? I thought it was in 2 hours?
Yeah he's coming off as pretty shitty in this interview. It must be great motivation to your engineers to say that you're already looking forward to going skiing and that it will be the best time in the world.

Probably because he doesn't think so.

And he is a sore loser.
