I think he wrote an article on skys website maybe? It wasn't an interview

He was calling for alonso's retirement because of 'passion' or some such.

Finland.

Well, not all of Finland (some of us can be sensible, and others are too busy with suicidal depression to care), but some of our fine F1 fans are still a bit touchy about Fernando beating ARE KIMI in 2005 and then replacing him at Ferrari in 2010. :finland:

I do see it as a racing incident, Bottas was perhaps being a little optimistic but at the time when he went for it the door was open and he took his chance like a racer should do. However the outcome was most pleasing and I nodded my head sagely with a wry grin while my dad proceeded to go apoplectic.

My dad has been mysteriously quiet on the Lewis front recently, although my mother muttered "just like James Hunt" * and left the room when his name was mentioned.


*my mother despises James Hunt because he gave her a rude nickname in the 60s.

Does anyone else think it's kinda a bad thing that the same driver has won the last 5 races? In most other series, that would be huge news. In F1, it's the opposite.

Nico having a possibility at the WDC is loving shameful. Lewis should be ashamed.

I think we are all politely ignoring Nico and just waiting for Ferrari to get it's act together and whomp the mercs.

Has anyone else noticed that Nico has put on weight? It's not fat weight but spent the winter training very very hard weight. I dunno if it's all Lewis being burnt out, he did get off the line 4m quicker than lewis again and managed to keep his break from exploding without freaking out over the radio, so maybe something has changed with Nico.

I also suspect he has the good car this year, Mercedes can use Lewis on the posters no matter if he is winning the championship or not, but the sponsors are really really pissed off with him not wearing their brands on instagram and seeing him in the papers captioned as the world champion at rival brand's fashion shows. If someone is paying you £25 million a year the least you can do is wear the luxury trainers and watches you have been given for free, you are a corporate whore son, this is the nature of F1, accept it or gently caress off.

I don't remember last year but Lewis and Vettel lost the last two races more than Rosberg won them. He's going straight back to bitchboy town as soon as either one of them get their poo poo together.

If Nico does win the WDC this year then it feels like it will be hard to keep both him and Lewis on the same team. Is there another team that both drivers with recent championships (ie not Button and Alonso) on their team at the same time?

The closest comparison you could draw right now would probably be Piquet/Mansell although Mansell wasn't a champion at that point.

My mother used to do early rallycross and mini cooper racing in the late 1960s, her brother and his friends ran a team and they had links to Bruce Mclaren. James Hunt used to race on a rival team and would grab her arse and only ever refer to her as "tits", my uncle says he didn't mean it and was just trying to piss off someone he saw as a threat, but the woman still holds a grudge 45 years on to the point that not even his death makes much of a difference.
