Might go back to bed

 

[bobnowhere]

Haha, Maldonado's Car retires itself again. Don't blame it really. "If you're going to drive me like that Pastor, I'm out."

 

[Zeknurn]

Lewis got this already. Fucking hell. This is such bullshit.

Yup.

This season is terrible.

 

[ElTorro]

 

[nny]

Button on the points.

 

[brotkasten]

Vettel can't even use DRS on Hamilton.

 

[nny]

Amazing how no one hit Kimi on the start.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Kimi fell into anti-stall at the start. DIdn't have enough revs?

 

[ElTorro]

Maldonado almost hit somebody when he came back on track.

 

[Ty4on]

Kimi fell into anti-stall at the start. DIdn't have enough revs?

Was he in second?

 

[PdotMichael]

Kimi is driving like he is drunken.

 

[Ruruja]

Getting Suzuka 2005 vibes.

 

[brotkasten]

Maldonado almost hit somebody when he came back on track.

He retired because his floor just broke in two!

 

[Zeknurn]

Maldonado's floor broken in two. Thank you Maldonado, never change.

 

[ElTorro]

He retired because his floor just broke in two!

He has really perfected his mile/retirement efficiency.

 

[Orbis]

Honda in a class of its own as usual.

[nature boy]

Couldn't bother watching more, and I missed qualy. So boring.

MGS V isn't helping me keeping the interest.

 

[TCRS]

hopefully ferrari doesn't pull some long stint shit like last time.

 

[Zeknurn]

Rallycross is on and I'm tempted to switch. Decisions...

 

[olore]

Yup.

This season is terrible.

Au contraire, it´s been a long time coming, I´m fine with Lewis sweeping the WDC for a number of years...

That's not the point. I'm perfectly fine with Lewis getting another WDC or three. But I wish someone was able to put up a fight. Lewis running away with it is just as boring as back then when Vettel did it. It's just not interesting.

 

[Xando]

Honda power not enough.

 

[nny]

The power on the straight on that McLaren...:/

 

[Juicy Bob]

Yeah. Hamilton's a great driver. I just wish there was a fight.

yawn. slow.

Sure. And I´m totally fine with it, hell let him lap the grid thrice

Vettel's first WDC was unexpected, his third was damn close.
Even Schumacher didn't dominate all his years and had to sweat.

Hamilton is just driving on cruise control. That's not unusual for one year, but if this keeps up for more years, the WDC will be worthless since nobody will watch anymore.

 

[aspiegamer]

Fucking Williams. God.

 

[Ark]

The undercut is far too strong tbh.

Fucking Williams. God.

They did everything right :l

 

[Gareth Bale]

This is so boring

 

[aspiegamer]

Okay, I know they pitted on the immediate next lap as Rosberg, but as usual they found a way to absolutely waste a podium. It's not like they haven't been undercut 50 times this year or anything.

 

[iceagecoming]

i've always noticed that Massa isn't the quickest in the pit lane. He's always very careful when slowing to the box

 

[Xando]

Williams pitstops are incredible bad.

 

[brotkasten]

Sure. And I´m totally fine with it, hell let him lap the grid thrice

I can't understand this. He doesn't even get the chance to prove himself. It's absolutely boring. You might as well focus on one of the two Marussia, because nothing is happening there as well.

Nah, third title of Vettel was his when Grosjean destroyed tve whole field in Spa. This is as boring as the Vettel years. Only I'm less annoyed now.

Last exciting season was 2010.

 

[RoKKeR]

Just another day in the office for Williams

 

[ElTorro]

The problem is that these restrictive car, development and testing rules make it virtually impossible for other teams to catch up. No wonder that once a team has a great car, it can keep that advantage with relative ease.

 

[Igo]

Ferrari really didn't want to give Lewis the grand chelem but dude is just beasting it.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Monza is a fantastic venue, but I've never really found races here all that exciting.

Maybe it's because they only last 40 minutes too.

They didn't waste anything. When Rosberg is behind them they're fucked if they do and fucked if they don't. The Mercedes simply outclasses their car in every respect. I'm all for ragging on the Williams pit wall, but this time they couldn't have done much more.

I'm really tired of this. The title was Vettel's after Alonso couldn't figure out how to drive around Raikkonen at Suzuka. Alonso likes to blame Grosjean but always conveniently forgets how he binned it at turn one. 2012 was an exciting season in every respect. 2010 was an exciting championship because people kept crashing. But obviously, different opinions, etc.

This is what happens when you only react and take absolutely zero initiative of your own. Sooooo many times the past 2 years this has happened. If you want to better Mercedes or Ferrari you have to be bold, christ.

I agree that the odds are against them, but they still refuse to be bold.

 

[nny]

That manor ohohoh

 

[Deadman]

Nothing will change until 2017 at the earliest. Lots of thrilling races ahead.

2012 was exciting because Alonso had a big lead in points which he needed in the second half of the season because the Red Bull was a lot faster then. It was over after Spa anyway. Fabricated excitement after that.

Where is Alonso blaming anyone? Am I Alonso?

Are you suggesting they pit before Rosberg and give him the clean air he needed to cool his brakes and pass them in the one lap he'd have before Mercedes pitted him?

Fabricated? Oh my god.

Alonso has passive-aggressively blamed Grosjean for 2012 several times on his twitter over the past couple of years.

He at least tweeted a picture of Grosjean missing his head with the comment like "I lost the championship, but gained a life" or something along those lines.

 

[Ruruja]

Once Ferrari catch up, Hamilton vs Vettel will be one of the best rivalries in years and will bring the excitement back. They're so far ahead of everyone else in talent.

 

[Par Score]

Lewis is an amazing driver and looks to be finally picking up the WDCs his talent deserves. I could give a fuck if you find that 'boring'.

It's not his fault that a bunch of the other 'top' teams completely fucked up their development, and that his team-mate really isn't in the same class as he is.

Some years you get Vettel or Schumacher domination, and it sucks, so I'll take a few years of a Brit on the top step beasting it quite happily.
