F1 - General discussion and 2016 Season

[Polish]

I prefer Hamilton over some of the others, does that count?

I only prefer Hamilton over Bernie.

I only prefer Hamilton over Bernie.

There's a few I could name, let's start with Britney.

Only noticed now, the Hamilton anti any other racer crowd haven't posted since the last race.

Troll Bait

I generally support Teams not Drivers but I do Like Hamilton.
Still think this should be Rossburg's year though, he deserves a WDC trophy or he will spend his whole career in hamiltons shadow.

Well, he deserves the WDC this year. There are still other drivers that deserve it more, but they are not in competitive cars at all.

 

[Willie Trombone]

It's not over till the fat lady sings. Hamilton can still likely pull out a 4th.

While he might win it, he doesn't deserve it imo, he's a cheat and I would support any other driver over him.

Note that Quali is tomm at 11am and race is Sunday at 9am.

 

[sox63]

Great lap from Button to get into Q3, guess Mclaren is right about their chassis being good. Less power than the Force India cars, but beat them both.

I think he only has one set of softs left for Q3, so I think P10 is where he will start

Awesome from Button.
Verstappen is a future champ no doubt.

 

[caroper]

To get that McLaren- Honda into Q3 on his 300th GP what a Star.

A podium would go down well... though they'd be investigated for sabotage lol.

 

[Polish]

Verstappen can split those Mercs on the start, we could have some good racing.

Methinks maybe even Kimi will stand tall tomm.

.

He did split the Mercs.

 

[Willie Trombone]

He did split the Mercs.

All credit to Vettel lol
Merc not doing Hamilton any favors with strategy IMO. Secons SC pit stop was a good move by Redbull.

Not watching. What position is Vettel in?

Pits.
He's out after he shunted Rosberg on lap 1.
He's not much good in the pack.
