Russian Grand Prix 2016, Sochi - Race 4/21

Even I concede the races have been quite good this year but not sure if that's cause I only watch the highlights?

The last race I barely saw nico in the highlights for obvious reasons. I expect the same today.

I do find it funny how people say the lock will even out. As it simply isn't true.
When I heard the news about Hamilton I did find out kind of amusing.
Surely rosberg will have to concede this championship was a hollow one of events continue like this.

One thing is for sure.. If Hamilton does somehow win now.. It will be a miracle and finally crush rosberg considering his mainly gifted lead

Yeah I remember 2 years ago when after 3 or 4 races his fans had given up and proclaimed the title over. Luckily he has a bit more fight about him than his defeatist fans :D

As easy as he's had 3 or 4 issues so can rosberg. As we saw in the first title fight, it almost evened out. Certainly enough for the much better Hamilton to make the rest of the difference up.

As usual with this forum people claim it's over after 3 races as though they have never seen a F1 season play out before.

Hmm, so utterly making up something that didn't happen, having a pop at anyone who likes Hamilton then having a bash at forum members based on the BS made up nonsense about two years ago.

Who after 3 races, with an 11 point gap maybe 3 poles(can't remember if Rosberg got one before Monaco) 2 wins and a failure, proclaimed the season over? I don't remember a single person saying the season was over for Hamilton at any stage of 2014. I remember people talking about if it wasn't for the failure he'd be storming away, I remember people pointing out the failure meant it would take 4 races just to get ahead of Rosberg and that more failures would make it more difficult. But from watching races Hamilton clawing back any and all points against Rosberg looked a certainty.

A single failure(at that point), a 25 point gap that shrunk for 4 races and complete and utter domination on track and the majority of forum members thought Rosberg's only chance at all was more failures for Hamilton.....

That takes us to this year, a 36 point gap looking likely to grow again due to another failure, that is over 3 times the gap as the same point last year and after 4 races the gap was 4 points, it's likely to be 40 or more points after todays race meaning the gap will be over 10 times as big this time. Hamilton had a single failure by this point which was a $2 spark plug which meant the engine was easily salvaged. This year not only did the first turbo die, the second turbo has died before the 4th race. So on top of the much larger points gap, likely to grow further, he has nearly certain penalties built in at the end of the season which once again are more than likely to make the points gap grow.

The situation after 4 races in 2014 and this year are completely incomparable and absolutely no one wrote Hamilton off in 2014 that I can recall(I say that purely because there may have been one random dude, 99.999% of members did not).
 
Here's to a decent race: hopefully we could have some interesting battles. Vettel and Hamilton coming through the field, and with some hard racing we could see some teams forced into two stops. I think Red Bull could do something special today - definitely podium material.
 
Or some stupid contact at the first corner resulting in punctures and million pound front wings spread all over the track.
Something has to go seriously wrong for Rosberg not to win by a minute.

I'll still watch though, I love f1 .

I'll never pay the full price to sky though, oh maybe if it's in 4k.....

Part of reason I used to watch F1 when I was kid. Loved seeing the carnage at the first corner, then all the drivers sprinting back only to find that the spare car was setup for their collegue. Except Ferrari, who used to bring two spare cars.
