Also Meeke has been sidelined by Citroen after binning it yet again.

When he crashed I accused the motor racing website I was posting on of writing that headline ahead of the rally to save time.

I've understood Meeke, he's basically Colin McRae minus the speed.

It's true. Perez Rosberg is a good driver but he is not a champion, and the only way I'd ever see him winning is if the circumstances were perfect.

Fixed that to apply to 2016 for you :D

So after my huge BRITISH SUNDAY LUNCH I fell asleep during the safety car period.
I then tried to watch the Ch.4 highlights and fell asleep sometime around lap 45.
(take this as a review of the race to that point)
Is there a period of laps worth watching given I know the result?

Also max is amazing.

What's this angriness about Mercedes? The Germans win because the Germans are the best engineers and run the best teams and deserve to run the world. If only top German Super Seb drove for Mercedes and if only the car itself was built in Germany, no other team would ever win another race.

Here's some article about Paddy Lowe feeling like it was literally a race win for Lance to even score some points. That's not the point. This bit is.

quote:

Stroll's ongoing struggles earlier in the weekend had prompted some intense talks between Lowe and the Canadian driver's father Lawrence in Williams offices on Saturday evening.

Getting points is a nice feel good for him but there is no way he should be failing to get out of Q1 while Massa is putting that car into Q3. Other new drivers don't have the same massive gap in results from their teammate that he has had all season long.

I honestly think he has had a few spots of bad luck in a few races but he has just been slow in general.

Yah, Massa has been utilizing maybe 80% of that car's performance. Stroll is roughly -20%.

These numbers were very precisely attained using a highly scientific method.

Great job using his Mercedes engine's 20 km/h advantage on the straights to blow past the Hondas. Truly the mark of a future WDC.

This is what Happens when drivers get pushed up way too early. Verstappen and Vettel did great but there are countless examples of guys been thrown in at a young age and having their careers destroyed (Thackwell being the ost tragic of these.)

I'm saving all of my disdain for Palmer at the moment. Stroll gets a free pass until Palmer gets removed from the Renault.

I think Vettel got lucky they had a SC when he had to change his nose out. He's likely very close to a lap down if it wasn't for that.
