They are probably already testing a lot of stuff for 2015 season. Mercedes advantage will probably carry on well into next season

Im not interested in seeing Lewis coast home to a second place finish. Let him punctuate his title bid by slamming the door in Nico's face with a pole position and race win.

I know. It would suck if he wasn't back for the race weekend.
I knew I could always count on you. <3
I think if Rosberg is in front and Hamilton is behind him, the race is be rather predictable. Hamilton is unlikely to do anything overly stupid to cost himself the championship. If Hamilton is in front though, and Rosberg is second, then Rosberg literally has nothing to lose from being more reckless. Then... we'll see.

They're right though. Prodromou might as well have taken the CAD files with him.
Safest bet would be Hamilton sitting 5 seconds behind Rosberg for the duration of the race.
Still better than the Russia track this season I think.

WTF Sky is not showing the PC until 4 pm? Fuck off, don't care about GP2.
Seems G Lopez and Fernley missed the PC. And the Caterham guy is there.
And Monisha is missing as well. Seems a boycott.

Agreed, I wish the final GP was in Brazil still. Abu Dhabi just renewed their contract for more GP's too.

Section 3 of the circuit is driver's paradise, I feel. Its the first two sections with the long straights that are an insufferable bore. But watch the onboards from the third section of the track. Its edge of your seat stuff.
Doubt it. Slow corners, where an F1 car feels most unnatural. Bet they would prefer some maggots and becketts

Turns 15 and 16 arent slow corners, and the exit out of 19 is a great challenge. On a hot lap, the tires are almost scraping the barrier there, its one of the few areas of the track that punishes driver error if he screws up even slightly.

What was Allen on about in FP2? I thought Perez was already confirmed at FI for 2015?
It would be fantastic news if he was replaced by Palmer.

Hardly a surprising turn of events. He helped RBR down the path on that spec so probably knows it intimately.
Nothing they couldn't have tried themselves but nobody st Macca knew why to go down that development fork.
Prodromou turned up, explaining it and all the Macca guys were like "ahhhhhhh, yeah that's neat".
It won't literally be a carbon copy if course as it needs to work with the car behind it.
true, but there's a difference between a couple relatively simple fast corners and another one that would be one of the easiest at monaco and a 'drivers paradise.'
Safe? No such thing. Approach the weekend as he has every other one so far. Go for the win. The only time to play it safe is if Nico is being overly aggressive or something. Otherwise, go for speed, go for pole and go for the win. PEACE.

If you're not first, you're last.
Sector 3 is basically all 90deg. corners, aka the same as any Tilke "street" track from the past 5 years. It's a bad track with no fanbase, no atmosphere, just a shitton of money and it's a crap place to host the final race.
Shake 'n bake!
He will forego any control of the race if he stays behind Rosberg. The gap to the cars behind him will be directed by Rosberg and not himself. If a safety car catches them out, they will both come in at the same time and Hamilton will have to wait for Rosberg to be serviced.
Honestly, with the massive pace advantage they have, I really doubt they have anything to worry about. If the competition was much closer, it would be the wiser move to aim for the front spot.

Rosberg seems confident that he can be faster than Hamilton for the pole. If he does that he might be able to slow the race a bit to allow for the Williams or whomever to catch up.
All you need is pictures. But it's not only about replicating a body work I presume
I agree. Bring back brazil as final race

He isn't good enough for that. If he goes any slower Hamilton will do what he's been doing all season... he might do that anyway.

Hamilton will play it safe for secondo.. If he can keeo the third within 2 seconds or so, Hamilton will be under a huge pressure
That's a crazy fantasy. Rosberg at the front slowing down the pace of the race? That'll be suicide for him, and Hamilton will be happy to take that win.
