Mercedes can only be defeated by themselves

Next year they might lose it, or at least we can have different race winners

I dont think Vettel will do it cuz Merceds is so much faster, and if Lewis drives like in Hungary, im sure Rosberg wont risk it.
The Ferrari aint fast enough like Mercedes, but if its equal like 2010 then he has a good chance

I thought the main reason we're all bitching about how shittyboring 2015 F1 is was because as soon as we worked on Lewis had worked on his Qualifying issues from 2014 and since he was starting on the front row he'd usually win and we all thought he'd be champion since like China or whatever.

Even with Bad Mercedes starts (maybe they'll get worse with the new manual start rules coming in at Spa? ) I don't see much changing.
Vettel is playing the Danny-Ric role from 2014 but aside from him maybe sneaking a couple more wins, it's all Merc really.

Yeah, 2014 had bad cars to watch and one team domination, but a nice battle for the championship, now it's normally very one-sided. Add boring cars to that....

Not with these engine regs they wont. Its practically a lock, that no matter what you do to the engines the competitive order is established from the very first base engine. Its also going to get worse next year with chassis development with 8 days testing for the entire year!...in pre season.

With Merc having total control over all aspects of the chasis, they would have to have a collective brain fart and design last years Caterham for them not to win the title.

Not to mention for Hill, who was bumped aside by Bandini! And so Hill sent Bandini a Christmas present: an LP album of advanced driving lessons. :lol:

No new teams apart from Haas to enter F1 in 2016 or 2017, unless a big manufacturer wants to come onboard.

Unexpected.... Did they change the proces after HRT? I know they refuse them to save 'the image of F1', but seriously, i think fans wouldn't care. I mean, the 107% rule is there to prevent too much difference, but why not grant them permission? At the very least, it should be fun.

Oh, probably they didn't give Bernie enough money....

the game is getting too expensive and I guess that russian mobsters don't like F1 like football to play their money laundering game

So according to Franz Tost, Kvyat, Sainz and Verstappen are all better than Ricciardo. Oh, and Ralf Schumacher is 6th best of all time?

maybe its a list of drivers he worked with and he also worked with Ralf? But that would also mean he worked with 6 drivers total.

Ferrari made the right decision. Kimi is a true champion and deserved his deal. Now that Kimi has peace to work for his last 30 races of his career I'd expect to see good results.

What will all the so called experts say now after their speculations were proven wrong? Most will probably forget their idiotic views and go on with new speculations with zero factual value as usual.

If Kimi is suddenly 2-3 tenths faster just because he signed a new deal I would be tempted to boot him out of the team. Because it means the exact opposite of what you have just said. It means he is a temperamental, unreliable driver who has been costing his team points if he suddenly gets faster just because he signed a new deal.

What? No! He's called the Iceman, but like any other human being he can get distracted by stress factors. See his performance at Lotus, nothing to lose - good results. Now he's been under pressure from every direction and made few mistakes. That's different than being a slacker just to get extended contract.
