JasonM Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hamilton is just ridiculous. I hate the bloke, but the way he has just battled from the back three times in a row is insane. Glad for Ricciardo, and Alonso finally got a podium again... Oh, and Rosberg is still #1 so I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainiac Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 What an awesome race! Can't be bothered going to the last page.. who said that Lewis couldn't make it to a podium? Me for one. Anybody know where I can find some crow to eat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Fabulous to see that podium. Ricciardo looked on for the win after the first safety car but he produced one good overtake on Alonso and a superb one on Lewis to grab the victory. Fully deserved. Great drive by Fernando aswell. Hands up who saw Lewis finishing ahead of Nico without Rosberg retiring? Nope, neither did I. Fantastic drive by Lewis. Especially as the car didn't have so much of an advantage compared to last week. I'm guessing the team order was to try and give Nico a chance to win the race but nobody can really blame Hamilton for needing to keep Nico behind. One of these two are going to be the WDC and so they need to fight like crazy for every single position. 11 points difference heading into the Summer Break and is the luck starting to tilt towards Hamilton? He's had more retirements and general car problems but the safety car came out at the wrong time for Nico today. It might be starting to even itself out. I can't split them at the moment, and it's almost certainly going to come down to double points at Abu Dhabi. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lusophone Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hamilton was apparently ordered to let Rosberg by and refuses,,according to reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Quite rightly so, they're fighting for a world championship and no other drivers are going to challenge them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Aye. No chance would Rosberg have given up position and any driver that would have probably shouldn't be in the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 The thing is, Nico didn't even try and force his way past. He didn't get within 0.8 secs of Hamilton and would have needed to be within half of that to make a move. At no point did Rosberg look as though he was close enough to pass. Yes, he cruised up behind Hamilton but had Lewis let him through, he would have lost vital time himself and Nico would have ended up increasing his championship lead. One of the two Mercedes drivers are going to win the World Championship and the team were incredibly stupid to ask Lewis to move over. I think it's also significant that neither Lowe or Wolff gave the order. They were still trying to apologise to Lewis after the problem on Saturday and didn't want to fuck him over again.

The Lusophone Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Out of curiosity, have we ever had this situation before, with two drivers from one team being in direct competition over the title with each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Prost and Senna, Piquet and Mansell, Lauda and Prost, Fangio and Moss, Alonso and Hamilton, Webber and Vettel, Coulthard and Hakkinen, Schekter and Villeneuve... So yeah, lots of times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 The Toro Rosso thing isn't confirmed yet and I wouldn't expect to see him on the F1 grid for a couple of years yet although I wouldn't be surprised to see him drive in a Young Drivers Test or something like that.

MJB Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Considering he wouldn't even be 18 by the time next season starts, I'd be amazed if he was racing in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
