Its a shame Senna talks quicker than he drives.

Isn't it nice that Mercedes have given those two elderly fans some space in their garage to watch out of the sun.

Boycotts cancelled then

 

[Destination]

Who was going to Boycott, and for what purpose?

 

[Skeeter]

Rumours that Lotus, Force India and Sauber were going to boycott the race in protest about the financial structure of F1.

But now Sauber are in a position to be able to score points that jump them a couple of places in the WCC, which would be worth millions to them.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton slower by 0.161s Was about 0.05 in each sector.

Bottas really impressive so far. Almost half a second ahead of Massa.

 

[Mr Jack]

Goddamn dodgy internet streamed F1 failing moments before the end

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton's 0.4 down in the first 2 sectors.

Slightly faster than Rosberg in S3, but still 0.376 down overall.

 

[Skeeter]

 

[Guerrilla]

Nicely done by Rosberg, seemed to have that fairly comfortable.

 

[Glaucus]

but fair play, ham was rubbish in the entire qualifying, did he actually do a clean lap in the first two knockouts. Without locking up.

 

[Skeeter]

So let me check, is 1:36.067 faster than 1:36.338?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton will win. Seems Rosberg often does this when Hamilton is fastest in all practice sessions.

 

[this_is_gav]

Ouch. +0.8 for Rosberg compared to Hamilton. That's going to sting for a bit.

Doubt it will linger for too long.

He's been on the backfoot for a while, but that was quite an eye opening couple of laps.

So let me check, is 1:36.067 faster than 1:36.338?

 

[Skeeter]

So does this win Rosberg the Pole Position Trophy?

 

[englishpremier]

Hamilton will win. Seems Rosberg often does this when Hamilton is fastest in all practice sessions.

This. Rosberg like Vettel is the better qualifier/time trial driver, but Hamilton is the faster racer IMO.

 

[Skeeter]

Indeed. But they are close enough that it's not easy for Lewis to pass Rosberg.

His tyre wear through a stint will help him though. I just hope he ignore any suggestions from his engineer to "wait, and we will get him at the end".

 

[Irish_Tom]

Gutted about the result but fair play to Rosberg, he dominated that quali session. Roll on tomorrow night!

Well we are about to find out if money is more important than the future of F1.
