The F1 Thread…

All fair points regarding Hamilton and his race-craft but he was always considered to be one of the fastest guys over a single lap so it is disappointing to see Nico qualify better than him at the last few meetings.

Maybe the reduction in driver coaching over team radio has hurt Nico more than Lewis?

Lewis spoilt etc?! Brought up on a council estate, dad worked multiple jobs to fund his racing etc.

Nico on the other hand merely got to live in Monaco, fly to karting races in his dad’s plane etc.

Anyway, on to the matter at hand-come on Lewis!!

Lewis takes after his Dad. A hardworker.

Zach’s screwed then eh?

Terrific start from Hamilton. Perfection when it mattered

Awful race….turned off. This isn’t the sport that I fell in love with aged 5 back in 91.

Nico engine issues…

Thats done then…..best go for a ride.

Tom b – caught rosbergitis?

Rosbergitis? Nope….used to be a Hamilton fan during his GP2 and early F1 career…nowadays as he becomes more like Puff Daddy day by day I dislike him equally to Rosberg and Vettel and any of the other media clones on the grid. My main gripe is quality of racing though….granted I haven’t caught all of this season, but what I have seen has really turned me off.

What is a ‘douche bag’?

I think it’s something Americans, or people who watch American telly all the time tend to say. It’s comical when yanks say because they’re useless at swearing. When non-yanks adopt it, what was comically bad, just becomes embarrassing.

You’ve missed some proper ding dongs then. Particular highlights include Alonso/button battles and stuff between lewis and rosberg. It’s been a great season.

Shite isn’t it?

No

The funny thing is that people are watching it, calling it rubbish and posting on here, still watching it. Why waste your life watching something you hate? Go do something else, ride a bike, clean the house, have a w***!

It’s called Top Gear syndrome.

Tom b youve missed some great racing this season, not necessarily for the win though. This is a bit like the tense 0 0 final after a great world cup.

One thing…. I thought the commentators said yesterday that Lewis didn’t have his family in AbDrab! Nicole and Anthony are there (unless im seeing things!)

It’s funny how people look back on this sport with rose tinted glasses. 1992, Williams utterly dominant and that was a classic year apparently. 1988 and 89 McLaren again dominant. Oh I forgot, McLaren let their drivers race…

The Schumacher years, yes they were boring. 2007, great year-last year and the outsider for the title (Kimi) took it. 2008, decided on the penultimate corner and won by a point.

2010a good un. 2009 Brawn starting with a stellar car but not having the budget to develop-another nail biter.

Couple of still years with Vettel and now a stonker of a season. Great battle between NR and LH, Ricciardo showing Vettel how it’s done, return to form for Williams, stoke great rookie drives etc.

Yeah, boring this sport.

Also, funny how a British champion in most sports would have people in raptures (when Andy Murray eventually) but there are so many Lewis haters!

haters will hate, no point trying to justify anything…..

delighted for Lewis, well done chap.

Had to go out for a bit. Not a big fan, nor an expert but interested in the closeness of the occasion. What happened to rosberg that when I come back he’s no longer competitive?

LH was asked in the press conference after qualifying whether he had any family here and he said no apart from a couple of cousins, so the misinformation isn’t down to the commentators. Maybe they hadn’t told him they were coming?

throtherjohnv… Justice, that’s what happened

Great drivers, great cars…shit racing.

well done lewis

theotherjonv – you mean Rosberg today? Had a power unit failure – originally lost ERS (the electric bit) but it seemed to get worse than that.

I absolutely disagree with those who complain the racing was rubbish – today or this season. Granted not the most thrilling today, but a lot better than it’s been at AD in the past, and there were some quite interesting battles further down the field and some overtaking. This season has been great with lots more overtaking than I can remember.

Great stuff. Sad to see Rosberg finish the season on such a low.

Double world champ!! well done Lewis 😀

Well done Lewis. What a great season long battle. Nico came across very well in the post race interview too.

Bit crap for Jenson if that’s his career done. No big send off, just a stroll into the sunset.

LH got a grip of that race and showed his class. Nice one.

Dear God just heard Nicole Shirtslinger interviewed 😯 came across as a total airhead. Lewis dump her and get a good lass who likes a kebab 😳

you’ve only just noticed ! 😯

F1 – British world champ
GP2 – British world champ
GP3 – British world champ

Well done all

That just sounded like Alonso confirming McLaren

It was all going so well right up to the end of the interview and then he said he thanked god.

Then his daft girlfriend let herself be filmed crossing herself and pointing at the sky (for some reason). Pah.

Awesome. Top girlfriend too. See hrr face? Worry etched. She looks after herself. Most Brit women plaster makeup onto an alcohol/fat enriched body 😀

Lewis. Make it a third.

Nico was class going up to congratulate Lewis.

I agree it’s not just about who wins. There has been some great racing all year throughout the field.

I’m chuffed to bits for Williams this year.

Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home…..
