Lewis will have one lovely year and then if Mercedes can keep the buxxx flowing in he'll get like 2 more WDCs, don't kid yourself. You'll be seeing so many more snapchats. So many more.

Three quality races and lots of drama this year. Can people shut the gently caress up about F1 being dead?

F1 is dead, long live F1.

Also, McLaren are going to develop their car so much Alonso is gonna get tired of winning.

Agreed. 2017 WDC will be Reichsberg versus the Spanish Samurai. I can't wait.

My main issue with Rosberg is the way he cracks under the slightest pressure

The amount of corners he hosed up because lewis was catching him the last couple of seasons was crazy

Once the ham man remembers how to start again we'll be seeing those double front lockups return

I hadn't realized this but McLaren's only points from this season are from their backup driver. This also means their backup driver is ahead of drivers like Perez, Alonso, Button, and Gutierrez in the WDC. That being said, Esteban Gutierrez is no longer last in the WDC. Haryanto takes that spot. Daniel Ricciardo is 3rd in the championship, ahead of both Ferraris. Massa is ahead of Bottas in points (6th and 10th respectively).

Backwards logic here; faster the car goes the less air-time needed to do the stunt.

naw he takes it off all the time and it's not really bad or anything, fire or no fire he would have gone bald by now and the marks just carry on up from the side of his face a bit. I think he just likes being paid lots of money to wear a hat.

The Austrian national anthem is the only upside to Red Bull winning. I can't blame him for that. Also Mercedes are bad and I wouldn't drive their cars.

FOM were filming people inside the garages during a dull bit last year, (may have been one of the US sessions that got rained off) and presumably thought they had found a nice moment with everyone sitting around being jolly, it took them quite some time to realise what he was doing before cutting away.

Their young driver program rapes kids like the Catholic Church too, so they probably qualify as tax exempt.

I'd assume Pastor is perfectly happy to be keeping his head down and living in relative obscurity in Monaco with his wife and child given the current situation in Venezuela and his political affiliations.
