Merc can't handle the heat. Vettel will have the championship by Mexico, book it.
Pretty good race overall though, probably was for the best it didn't rain. Although I'm not sure what the point of the early safety car was exactly.

It's not even Vettel's fault, really. Anyone who dominates the sport like that gets hated on. Look at the Mercedes hate last year.
Also, when it conjures good-weather fans like certain loud people, it only gets worse.
Like I said, for me he always drove for the wrong team. But I stand by my opinion. The driver isn't important, what's important are the results.

OMG hahhaa perfect, seriously, Fernando must be questioning a lot of things right now
Nico - wow - a man who has just seen the harsh reality in the face? And Eddie Jordan is pretty good as an interviewer...
I think they are shipping them to China today. Their own arrogance is biting them in the ass.
Also, RBR will need to redesign their brake cooling, that was like a steam train at breaking today

Would love to see a Hamilton/Vettel battle.
But I expect the Merc upgrades will push them out in front again.

Has Vettel been let off the pr leash like Hamilton when he moved from McLaren, he looks more comfortable.
definitely. I just self-analyzed myself and realized I never hated one-finger-Vettel with his stupid fucking grin and boyish charm. it was always red bull.

He just realised that he may not have the car advantage he was used to last year and has a four time champ to fight as well as his teammate.
When he was on top gear he was great too. Very charming and funny. RBR without Vettel are still dicks with them now playing the blame game.

No money, no honey.
Ferrari has allegedly added another 100m to their F1 budget, and they've also tokens left to upgrade their engine just like Mercedes. Another two races yet before we can make any firm claims but Ferrari I think should challenge well and I don't see them falling behind in the development race.

Lauda going for EJ's goolies, LOL!
I feel bad for Alonso. The decision to leave Ferrari was the right one, I think. The car ran like shite for years, but he got everything out of it that he could. The lack of improvements in his latter years there coupled with the usual Ferrari incompetence at management level must've pushed him over the edge. But he's somehow contrived to land himself at a team in even worse than his former.

Indeed, it would be interesting to see how his career would have gone had he stayed at McLaren in 2008.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.
It's a bbc weekend, what are you doing.
Fantastic.
This makes me feel really bad for him....
Damn that's harsh. Feeling sorry for Rosberg there.

AMAZING
Things can't get much worse for him. At least with Honda only supplying them it's almost like a works team and we could see a step forward near the end of the year leading into next.
Well worth it.

I'm coming to the same realization. In his championship years I hated how childish and cocky he was but he matured a ton at the end of 2013 and all 2014. Could do without the pandering though. Going to have this weird thing for the rest of the year where I like Raikkonen and warm up to Vettel but hate Ferrari as a team. Would still give Mercedes the edge for the Constructors' even if the cars are dead even the rest of the season.
About damn time. This is one of the few direct rivalries we haven't properly had. And yes I'm completely writing off Rosberg at this point. He's done nothing to prove he's worthy of any extra attention yet. Rosberg, The New Webber.

As always, watch the highlights. It was a good race and Ferrari won fair. Mercedes mostly screwed up with their strategy.

Just wait until he wins a few races. It's him.
Nah, Ferrari won the race when Merc decided to pit under the SC and put both their cars in traffic allowing Seb to skip away. There was no coming back from that fuck up. Even with a slight advantage in tire deg, there was no way Seb was getting past Lewis had they stayed out as the Merc still had the pace advantage.
I don't think Kimi is getting enough love. He had a brilliant fucking drive even with the early puncture and damage to the floor. He could have been standing on that podium were it not for his misfortunes.
Seb lapping both Red Bulls was monumental.

I was originally putting Vettel 1st for predictor. If only I stayed, I would have 1st-6th on point....
Cheers
Where's the best place to find them?And did the Hondas blow up or something? Geez.
Maybe, but now that he's in a Ferrari I can now support him.
When it was Schumacher vs Alonso I never dreamed of liking Fernando.
