Chris2K Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's still absolutely hosing down but they're going for it, every car on the grid out at the same time as there's a chance it will be stopped before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Q3 is cancelled and they're using Q2 to decide the grid, Nico gets pole position as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 No. Lewis needs to outscore Vettel by 9 and Rosberg by 2. So he needs to get ahead of Nico if he wants to wrap up WDC #3 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Amazing race, just heartpounding at all times and Verstappen was competing for a podium place for such a long time... He drove those supersofts for 37 laps!They might've doubted his Hungary 4th due to all the punctures, but this 4th was all him. The best rookie in a long long time...

Chris2K Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Incredible race all the way through, craziness all down the field. Really pleased for Lewis, Nico is really starting to develop the tag as a choker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonM Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Silly Conspiracy time: Rosberg was ordered before the race to 'take a dive' at a crucial time if it was Ros/Ham with a few laps to go...Actual fact: I'm a Rosberg fan, but damn he looks like an utter knob throwing a tantrum. I get that you're distraught over what happened, but keep that in until you're in the motorhome and then break some cupboards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 In relative terms to F1, that is a massive tantrum these days.Rosberg is right to be upset to be fair, he has just continually been proven to be second best to Hamilton by a long way. I doubt he'll ever manage to prove any different now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 It seems a little bizarre to me that it happened under those circumstances. I could understand if it were the last Grand Prix of the season and Rosberg had just lost out on the title, but he had to know that he would have been effectively out of the title picture even if he'd won the race. Making an error and losing a race that wasn't going to affect anything beyond statistical trivia just doesn't seem worthy of being the point at which you'd snap.

Bobfoc Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I know it's minor, but when you're in the public eye as often as Formula One drivers are, you know that every little thing you do will be scrutinised. He'll probably get booed at future races, which is a bit of a harsh outcome, but sports fans tend to latch onto anything they can to criticise someone.
