Lewis was awesome. Nico was awesome. Alonso was awesome. Riccardo was awesome.


Absolutely agree with this

First thing I thought you had Kimi in Britain, Massa in Germany and Perez in Hungary for kals's game. But seems that you are doing well in that.


now I remember I picked bottas for this and some people picked ricciardo. dammit

but next race is spa, for me is a big thing starting a thread for the main race of the season

at least, enjoyable race, too bad Alonso didn't won, I'm happy for Dan

Lewis was awesome. Nico was awesome. Alonso was awesome. Riccardo was awesome.


Plus Rosberg did have worries about his rear brakes after the SC.

And the last lap showed he did have the killer instinct, he just chose not to take both of them out.

I'm sure these two battled wheel to wheel at Bahrain and both managed to finish. Why are you so hell bent on believing that Hamilton will take Nico out at any given moment? He doesn't have that reputation afair. Only 2011 with Massa and most of those were 50/50.

BTW, Nico's brake issues resolved themselves so that wasn't a worry.

Rosberg just evaded the question of Kai Ebel if he would have let Hamilton pass him if he was in that situation. That's like an almost confirmation that he would have done the same.

Nico does seem a little slow on the uptake, the sky girl just lead him to the best answer possible and all he had to say was yeah, he ended up saying I dunno we must discuss it internally.

Where in that do I say Hamilton would have taken him out? Bahrain was completely different, so much tarmac off track but here there was grass.

You've made some pretty significant references a couple of times that suggests you believe Hamilton is an accident waiting to happen when it comes to fighting with his team mate. If I'm reading it wrong then I apologise.

No, Lewis cost Rosberg that race win. Awake up guy, that's a race, not charity.

the team should let go. Hamilton did everything as possible and managed to overcome difficulties, nothing illegal

Was a joke, like my post about Merc pulling Hamilton in for a slow stop after Rosbergs final.

Ok, I misunderstood. My apologies. I wasn't on the board earlier so missed that other post you mention.

Won €36 thanks to Ricciardo 8) . I expected a crazy race so I had put 1 euro each on Alonso, Bottas, Massa, Vettel and Hamilton. 2€ on Ricciardo.

That was a crazy race. Hamilton was lucky his race didn't end on turn 2 of the first lap. Rosberg was unlucky with the timing of the SC, it didn't seem like the broadcasters (NBCSN) realized what had happened, unless I didn't hear them discuss it.

But yeah, man, I thought Rosberg was dead in the water, then he starts cutting laps 2-3 seconds faster and runs right up on those guys, craziness.

Formula 1 championship leader Nico Rosberg has denied that he asked to be let through by Mercedes team-mate and championship rival Lewis Hamilton during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The German was running behind Hamilton before of his final pitstop, and the Mercedes team ordered Hamilton - who did not have another stop to make - to let him through to benefit Rosberg's strategy.

Hamilton refused to back off, and admitted after the race that he was "very, very shocked" to be asked to let his main rival through.

Rosberg was heard asking on the team radio why Hamilton had not moved over, but he denied that he had originally requested to be let by.

"I didn't want it, it was the team that informed me that he was going to let me past," said Rosberg after the race.

"That was it. I don't know what happened then. We need to discuss it."

Rosberg declined to elaborate further on his view of the team orders situation, saying that it was a matter for the team to resolve in private.

"We have to discuss it internally, it would not make sense for me to speak about that now," he added.

"I don't want to speak theoretically about that situation. It's better to discuss that in the team.

"Of course I'm going to sit down with the team, Lewis will be there also, and we are going to go through everything and see how much we can learn from today, as always."

Rosberg tried to pass Hamilton for third on the outside of Turn 2 on the final lap but his team-mate forced him wide, and Rosberg said he was frustrated to let that chance slip.

"I caught them [Fernando Alonso and Hamilton] at the end, but unfortunately it wasn't enough," he said.

"That's what's most annoying for me now - the last lap - I had the chance and I wasn't able to use it.

"I'm just disappointed that I didn't make it happen. That was a pity.

"Of course there are still some positives, but I'm not able to see that at the moment as I'm still in the last lap."

Well he's completely correct. The team said Lewis was going to let Nico pass. So then he doesn't, I think Nico should ask why he hasn't. That was the teams fault, not Nico or Lewis.
