NBCSN overhyping Rossi again...

Hm. I didn't think it was that bad. Figured it would be classified as a racing incident.

Is that true?

So Sainz can also do the same, right?
Yeah, I'm sure they can relate to a dunce.
Lets hope so.

Something tells me him doing this to Max would be unacceptable.
As a team boss, I wonder why the order was given him 15 laps before the race. Why give the order if he doesn't care if VES adheres it or not. What?
Don't piss off Red Bull and the media's golden boy.

Incredibly boring race and Kimi disappointed, as expected.
Still happy for Vettel and Ferrari, of course. But not what I wanted to see today.

First 2/3rds were awful. Apart from Hamilton going backwards, I don't recall any overtaking. Last 1/3 was great, so many drivers jostling for position... and for that we have the 'on-track-fan' to thank. Thanks on-track-fan, I hope the authorities treat you well.

They don't want to upset VES given the Ferrari rumours...
Fuck no. This is Max's second season in cars, Sainz had 4 in cars before he lit up F3.5. Max straight up wrecked F3 in his first season. Kid has much more potential and much more room to grow.

That's what they said about Hulkenberg, Frijns, etc.
VES may have potential, but so far it's incredibly even between both.
That's because they're both tremendous drivers.

Oh my, they just said on Sky that Jos Verstappen actually instructed Max that if they ever ask him to let him teammate pass he should say no and let him do it, because it would make him a pushover and people would lose respect for him as a driver.

Or that Toro Rosso has built their best chassis.... ever (or since 2008)?
I don't think there's any question that Sainz and Verstappen are great drivers and it's not just a case of "oh, they just have a better car than others."
I just saw this and yeah, I think it's time to cut the umbilical cord to daddy.

A great chassis does help, though. RIC is a great driver and wasn't able to showcase his talent with those dog shit Toro Rosso chassis in 2012-13.
I am sure that they are talented, but at the same time, it wouldn't surprise me if this Toro Rosso is the best they've built since 2008.

But who would want to cut the cord to a man who was self-proclaimed faster then Schumacher? He knows his shit!
If anything, would only result in team fine or some such, yes?
Yeah, it'll be a fine or let it slide. Doubt there'll be major repercussions.
Depends...
If they touched cars without FIA representatives...
I am Dutch, so take my comment with a grain of salt.... even though I consider myself not biased....
I think it isn't incredibly even anymore between them, considering everything I think it is slightly tilting towards Max...

So it seems that Grosjean is heading to Haas, if reports are true.
Clearly eyeing the Ferrari seat for 2017.
Seems the director of Renualt has confirmed that Grosjean will not race for Lotus-Renault.

Me, Haas will fail gloriously...
You can speculate next year if I am from the future or if I have watched F1 for the last 20 years and realized no new team does well in their first year...

Looks like F1 is back to kindergarten:
It's a smarter move, Renault will be shit for the next couple of years. Renault won't invest a massive amount to get them up the grid.

AMUS says Mercedes will help Renault get their PU sorted. What's all that about? Rebadged Merc engines?
Kill this token shit so Honda can splurge $500m on their MK5 2017 monster.
What did they do? Did they accidentally have any fun?
Kimi smiled, so now he has to pay a fine to FIA.
Haha, indeed.

Lol Verstappen got a telling off from Eddie. Sainz seemed a bit uncertain about his own request to be let past to have a go at Perez. I do think that team orders in that situation were a bit strange.
I've no doubt he will be, given it's Singapore.
In Singapore? He is already on the execution list.

Agreed. I would understand it if they were on totally different strategies but both being on SS tyres with a similar number of laps, asking them to switch for the other to try is madness.
