F1 2014 thread

Woohoo! Lap 18-20 Ham vs Rosberg - awesome stuff!
And Bottas nearly rear ending Raikkonen was epic... good defensive driving from Bottas.
No shortage of action so far... didn't think i'd say that about Bahrain.
Eish! Gutiérrez... that looked pretty scary.

Safety car is out and Rosberg has a distinct advantage with his set of yellow tyres.
WOW... what a drive by Hamilton. No argument that he had to work for that epic win from 2nd. And Ricciardo vs Vettel was epic :)
Less downforce paid off!

3 laps after safety car and the 2 Mercs are already 11 seconds ahead of the pack (even though they are fighting each other like cat and dog), there is no way the Mercs have been running at full potential before this.
 
So it's the battle of the Mercs this year. They are just miles ahead of anyone else, in more ways than one...
 
Love how the 2 Merc drivers still playfight as they got out of their cars; shows you can fight on the track and still be mates off the track...not like redbull..:whistle:

Well, I wonder how it would be if Nico wasn't 11 points ahead :o
Kudos to the teams who let their guys race. Imagine telling Vettel to pull over for Ricciardo... that must have HURT.

Hell of a race! Well done to Force India (big pay for the 2-stop strategy)

One of the most exiting races in a long time. Not only, but also thanks to the safety car. About 5 laps before the end, there was a message to LH. Can't remember exactly what it was, but right after that NR piped down. I reckon it was a message to say "You 2 have had your fun, now bring then safely home".

Didn't see Rosberg back off at all - only heard them both being told to play nicely and bring the cars home before the SC came in.

They were wheel to wheel and then with about 5 to go, the distance was constantly 0.8-1.0 seconds. Great racing though
 
Amazeballs race!!!! Sky aftershow confirmed with Paddy that they were racing till the end, Nico just killed his tyres...

Agree. That can change very quickly if they're fighting for WC or Constructors.
