VES closing in...

 

[Aiii]

When was the last time Ferrari got praise for race strategy?

2006?

 

[Xando]

Leave it to FOM to arrange the title decider to be on a track with no racing.

Atleast we don't have that last race double points bullshit anymore

 

[Hasney]

Danny Ric with that fastest lap

When was the last time Ferrari got praise for race strategy?

Ross Brawn

Malaysia 2015. Once per year they get it right.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

How about Hamilton coming out behind Rosberg on purpose, to put pressure on him?

 

[Hasney]

Perfect stop for Rosberg. Fuck yes.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

When was the last time Ferrari got praise for race strategy?

The most memorable one is certainly the 4 stop strategy in 2004 French GP.

 

[Zeknurn]

The Mercedes pit crew are in the clear.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Button is saying he is probably going to be banging some wingmirrors in the future.

 

[JDB]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Juicy Bob]

Nice job Mercedes. This is good.

 

[Orbis]

Yeah that was utter bullshit and we're fortunate the title wasn't decided by it.

 

[olore]

Is there any consensus on what it is about this track that produces such flat racing? All the sharp 90 degree corners?

 

[Aiii]

Come on VES, go get 2nd!

 

[Fox Mulder]

Atleast we don't have that last race double points bullshit anymore

It was a hilarious way to make people give a shit about this awful race.

 

[Hasney]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I mean, what did you expect? In all the years they've been comin here, this was the odds on way the race would unfold.

You played yourself by watching if you're going to fall asleep.

It's pathetic. Its often like watching high school kids in their first year.

 

[dakun]

Hmm only 2 seconds between the Mercs. Hamilton wants a fight on track?

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

HAM is going to let ROS through.

Here we go

 

[Syder]

Congratulations, Nico.

Hamilton has had some harsh luck this season but Rosberg has been quality all year.

 

[TCRS]

*tears*

 

[Hasney]

Hamilton was complaining the soft tyres, he might just not be getting on with them.

Hamilton got a personal best, but Rosberg was faster.

 

[MrJustinius]

Is there any consensus on what it is about this track that produces such flat racing? All the sharp 90 degree corners?

Long straights followed by chicanes, combined with the last third of the track being tight and twisty.

 

[JDB]

I expected Ferarri to throw something out in front of ROS in the pit lane so he couldn't leave straight away.

 

[CrayToes]

It'll be interesting to see if Nico takes a shot here.

 

[Lima]

Sharp knees etc.

 

[ElTorro]

lol, that radio message...

 

[NewDust]

Come on Rosberg, take out Ham... At least then we have something to talk about this race.

 

[Aiii]

Either HAM is gonna let him pass. Or he intends to push ROS off the track so he gets behind the RBR's.

 

[dakun]

Man if Hamilton plays dirty today, that would be crazy

 

[kharma45]

Coulthard definitely heard that wrong

Lewis just feel asleep

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

How slow can he go before Rosberg is tempted to go for it?

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

I don't class controlling the pace of the race to his advantage playing dirty (In case that's what you meant.) Rosberg's moves in Austria and Germany were dirty.

 

[Lach]

Hamilton thinking about going all in. Trying to cause a collision that dnf's (or at least having to pit) ROS, but allows himself to continue...

It's flat because it's flat tarmac.

All the best tracks have significant elevation change, grass verges, gravel traps, and walls somewhere close to the edge of the track.

This place is flat as a pancake, no bumps to unsettle things, massive run offs so mistakes aren't punished. The only vaguely interesting features are a couple of slightly off-camber corners, and a pit-lane exit that's a tunnel.

 

[John_B]

Hamilton is backing Rosberg up so the bulls can catch him.

 

[aspiegamer]

Lewis is baiting him the rest of the race and say "hey, can you pass me? Oh, right, no, I'm still faster than you." Might as well play mindgames for next year with the race otherwise so boring.

Just like the buildings.

Strange, Rosberg has had a better PB lap. He's faster if you wanted to play "mindgames"

He's backing up for the championship, nothing more.

It is, but honestly, what is he doing here?
