isaidno Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 British winners in GP2 , GP3 and F1 today. Palmer leads GP2 by 40 points and Alex Lynn GP3 by 50 . Hopefully we'll get 3 English champions .
Collymore Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 All you rosberg haters not realised that Nico went through the run off chicane twice to hand Hamilton the 14 point Swing? This will have been discussed in house beforehand and was the right thing to do. You'll see a different Rosberg in Singapore trust me.
Asha Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 I thought after the race that Rosberg seemed reasonably chirpy considering he'd just effectively binned 14 points in the title race after a 'mistake'.
Collymore Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 A few photos from the Belgian GP: An amazing weekend started with the pitlane walk on Thursday, where I managed to get my 2007 champions hat signed by Kimi, along with a picture signed by Alonso. On Friday we got our first taste of live F1 action while we walked around the beautiful Spa-Francorchamps track scoping out vantage points for Saturday and Sunday. In the end we decided the entry to Pouhon was the best spot. On Saturday we had to endure a few downpours, including hail, but the action on track more than made up for it, with a British 1-2-3-4 in GP3 being the highlight. After three great days, Sunday topped the lot. Another British win in GP3, followed by my favourite GP2 driver, Felipe Nasr, winning the second race made it a great morning and a thoroughly entertaining Porshe race completed a wonderful warm-up act for what was undoubtedly the main event. The F1 race was incredibly thrilling, with a very likeable victor and Raikkonen having his race of the season was a wonderful bonus. After the race, we managed to get onto the track at the bottom of Eau Rouge and walk up the Kemmel straight, through Les Combes and Malmedy, round Rivage until we got told to exit the track at the exit of Pouhon. If you have any interest in attending a Grand Prix, make it the Belgian GP. I'm already planning a return trip for 2015. P.S: The best fans were the Danes. They all made alot of noise whenever Kevin did anything even slightly noteworthy. I'm just glad I wasn't around when they found about his penalty! I was there too mate. It was a great weekend despite some horrendous weather and poor organisation by the police getting into the campsites. I was also appalled by the quality and choice of food! The worst hot dogs and "beef" burgers I've ever tasted all sold by the same chain of dodgy caterer at extortionate prices! The race was great. I was lucky enough to see the wheel to wheel action with the mclarens on the penultimate lap, awesome stuff.

This will have been discussed in house beforehand and was the right thing to do. You'll see a different Rosberg in Singapore trust me. Very doubtful. Don't forget in Spa the points swing was much higher in Rosberg's favour so it hardly makes up for it anyway.
Collymore Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Very doubtful. Don't forget in Spa the points swing was much higher in Rosberg's favour so it hardly makes up for it anyway. Well he made 18 points on him last week so giving him 14 and and getting a €250k fine is probably fair.
DennisNedry Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Well he made 18 points on him last week so giving him 14 and and getting a €250k fine is probably fair. By that logic he only gave him 7 today. In Spa he effectively took at least 18 points (probably 25) off Hamilton as well as gaining 18 himself. Didn't know he had a 250k euro fine, that's harsh. But I suppose it's like when footballers get fined that amount, it's nothing to them really.
fuchsntf Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 If Rico ends up as World-champion, or Lewis beats him to it, the eventual winner would have earnt and deserve it. I cant be bias in F1, the best driver of the season, or over 2-3 seasons will get my nod.I have my favourites, but nothing to do with countryman support.I watch F1 because I enjoy the racing and teams fight to improve and advance on themselves and preparing their car for raceday. The Brits churned out drivers, in the past, then French, Italians,Australians, Finns,Spanish, South Americans, at the moment the Germans are leading at present the way, but it all goes around in circles.
ADK Posted 8 September 2014 Posted 8 September 2014 Depends what you mean by deserve. Hamilton has driven better than Rosberg so far. The only circuit I feel Rosberg has Hamilton beaten is Monaco.
iamafox Posted 10 September 2014 Posted 10 September 2014 Luca Di Montezemelo will step down as Ferrari's chairman after 23 years. Not sure if they'll benefit from this but they need a serious change of personnel to get back to the winning form they used to have.

Asha Posted 13 September 2014 Posted 13 September 2014 What an ending to the first ePrix! First two have a massive crash at the last corner, and Di Grassi wins.
Asha Posted 13 September 2014 Posted 13 September 2014 That was a big accident for Heidfeld, but he gets out the car and goes running after Prost
Nalis Posted 13 September 2014 Posted 13 September 2014 Never even heard of ePrix before and just Googled it. Some amount of ex F1 drivers involved! Loved the fact that Jarno Trulli drives for his own team. Wonder if he is still a qualifying king but a race pauper in this version?
Amin Posted 13 September 2014 Author Posted 13 September 2014 I quite enjoyed it. The cars are obviously slow but they seem lively at the exit of the corners, thanks to their high torque. Very exciting finish but awful driving from Prost Jr.
isaidno Posted 19 September 2014 Posted 19 September 2014 Maldonado crashes again in FP2 Surely the cost of repairing his car is now out weighing the sponsorship money
Legend_in_blue Posted 19 September 2014 Posted 19 September 2014 Maldonado is very unlikeable and he can't drive. Great combination.
Amin Posted 20 September 2014 Author Posted 20 September 2014 The most exciting qualifying of the year. Very impressive that Hamilton recovered from the first corner mistake to take pole. Such a shame that Kimi couldn't get a final run in.
Amin Posted 21 September 2014 Author Posted 21 September 2014 Well that's Hamilton in the lead of the championship. Didn't see that coming after Belgium.
isaidno Posted 21 September 2014 Posted 21 September 2014 Lewis deservedly leads the championship. Still going to go to Abu Dhabi decider
iamafox Posted 21 September 2014 Posted 21 September 2014 I think the drivers title will be decided by whoever suffers from reliability the least/most, on merit Hamilton deserves it but Rosberg shouldn't be discounted.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 22 September 2014 Posted 22 September 2014 Hamilton is clearly the better driver and now the points show that, but this will not be easy, especially with the double points for the last race.
VinceNoir Posted 22 September 2014 Posted 22 September 2014 I love how there's just one post in this thread from during yesterday's race. Everybody was rightly preoccupied by the fact that we humiliated Manchester United!
