Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Vettel is going to disappear tomorrow, only time second place will be near him after the start is when the SC comes out.

Also, Mercedes is sandbagging like hell. Maybe not for tomorrow, but for Suzuka at least.

Button joking that Vettel could be disqualified because he's going to the stewards to tell them that Vettel has changed his helmet design for today.

You know... this might just be what Formula One needed at this stage.

Bernie Ecclestone probably had a word, just like he did with all Lewis' suspicious engine failures last season :mrgreen:

1.5s...wow! Where did that margin come from?! Fucking brilliant. Hopefully the race doesn't let us down after this epic qualifying session.

I was just going to post this these days.
The only winner team we have in F1 is Ferrari.
Mercedes built a great engine, but they have problems following cars for a longer period (Rosberg Monza), which is probably why they don't race each other.
When the race is not going the way they expect, they get nervous and don't know how to react. It's still BAR in many ways. Wolff and Lauda do nothing to protect Rosberg from the media (Spa 2014) and do not know how to lead the team in the public.
Tyre pressures? Probably were used to gain an advantage.

Williams? Pah, they don't even want to win, they are happy with a 3rd place as customers as said by Pat Symonds.
Red Bull? Without a capable engine they are not able to win the title.
McLaren? Forget them, since 2013 they're doing nothing more than crap. Even with the same engine (2014) they couldn't get any way close to Mercedes.
Force India? Manor? STR? Sauber? No.
Renault/Lotus? Maybe, with another engines. I don't know.

How can a team lose 2,200 seconds in 2 weeks? This is really ridiculous and cannot be only setup related, can it?

Rosberg is wasting a seat in Mercedes. I want to see Vettel v. Hamilton on equal terms every race.


ricciardo vs hamilton would be a much better competition. vettel is great when the car is on rails - but not so much when it's sliding around.

I don't think rosberg's reluctance to pass when when he makes a poor start and need to wait for the pit stops to unleash his speed can be blamed on Mercedes tbh.

Hamilton has no problem passing ppl so it's really just a Nico thing.

@codename: Yep, Hamilton passes other people quickly while Rosberg doesn't even try to overtake others mostly, but the car itself looks like it struggles behind others.
With two Rosbergs in the team, the championship standings would probably more closer.

: Right, they have done disastrous strategy errors over the years, too. But at the moment, they are doing everything right. Vettel, like Alonso, does an incredible job, too.
