Who is Jolyon Palmer?

Who is Felipe Nasr?

Why and how is mirror driving acceptable? Two serious incidents happened yesterday, and no penalties for it?

Both Ferrari drivers, another chance of victory disappeared, and Hamilton, doing crazy where there was no space.

How do you divebomb when you're way before a braking zone? A divebomb is what Ricciardo did on Vettel, not what happened between Lewis and Nico.

Anyway, I voted for Nico and Lewis.

He was already on the grass and still flat out. He was overworried about the position he lost and he messed it up. Completely.

Ermmm no...

A divebomb is a late braking overtaking maneuver attempted deep into a braking zone. The braking zone for T4 is inline with the gantry going across the track. What Lewis did was go for a gap well in advance of the braking zone... because he was carrying 17kph more than Nico.

Get your facts straight. This was not a divebomb.

Mercedes as whole (but thankfully providing a great show afterwards)

Massa was out at Q1 and couldn't develop his position on the track, Williams messed his qualy and he did nothing else in the race

Well, sorry for the inaccuracy. Corrected.

Because attempting to pass at a track everyone else is too pussy to pass on is a farce.

Sure is. Making a desperate lunge like that hoping it all works out in the end, that isn't how an artful pass works. You go into the pass knowing you're going to come out on top regardless of what the other guy does. The only reason that move didn't end in tears is cause other guy was alert enough to see it coming and moved out of the way. Ricciardo feels like he has to live up to this reputation of being *** *** *** [Graphic content edited out to avoid giving Philthy82 creepy nightmares] but all he does is make overly ambitious divebombs putting all the onus on the other driver to avoid an accident. So yes he most certainly gets my vote for farce.

F1 sure would be exciting if all drivers were as gentlemanly in competition as you suggest.

Also, this "Dan The Man" thing you keep repeating is kinda creepy.
