Gaspode Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Could be an interesting weekend - Hamilton is at his best when he's under pressure whereas Rosberg is at his worst.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been tedious this year, but it'd be cruel if Hamilton snatched it for the second time in his career. Lets hope next year's rule changes make for better racing and someone has the balls to kill DRS for ever. If you want passing like that watch a motorway for 2 hours. If Rosberg loses the title to Lewis it won't be cruel, it will be Rosberg choking (unless of course his car breaks down or summar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go, conspiracy alert. Do you have evidence for that? No, you don't. Mechanical failure is part of the game, always has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanical failure is part of the game, always has been. I don't think McRam is suggesting a conspiracy - he's just responding to a suggestion that Hamilton broke his car which is patently not the case - he's just been unlucky this year (though the fact that Mercedes took the decision to swap the teams of mechanics this year was always going to make people suspicious if there were problems.....). Back on topic, anyone else expect Rosberg to conveniently run into Hamilton if he gets the chance to take him out of the race this weekend? he's taken a number of risks this year and been over aggressive on a few occasions (and been lucky to get away with very weak penalties as a result) - an 'accidental' lock-up into the side of Hamilton's car this weekend would give him the title....

I fully expect the qualifying and race to be full of instances, I expect there are a few that want Rosberg to win and some don't. I think if Rosberg took both cars out he should be deducted a win, because it would be a complete out and out deliberate act and takes the whole credability out of the sport. 12 hours ago, ColonelBlimp said: Do you have evidence for that?

If there was evidence Rosberg took them out on purpose then they could remove him from the championship, this was done before when schumacher attempted to take villeneuve out on purpose. I dont think he will though. I suspect if he did he would also have his contract terminated by mercedes. Unless of course he can make it look totally accidental.

Neither do I if I am being honest, however there is a little bit that thinks his petulance may rise to the surface if certain conditions prevail, however it should be a cakewalk for him, finish 2nd or 3rd job done. Very much doubt he could screw that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said Think, not I think, which is extremely pedantic of me. Surely, when you think you base it on something or is it something in the tea leaves? Anyway, I'm not getting into an argument with you, you're entitled to your opinion much as we all are. I agree with your point about Rosberg accidentally on purpose taking Hamilton out, it won't happen. Joker in the pack is Ricciardo, on different strategy, unfortunate that Verstappen couldn't have joined him on the second row, that would have been interesting.

If Hamilton hadn't tried to back his team mate into the on-coming traffic, then it would have just become a boring procession and a guaranteed Rosberg win. Hamilton is not one to turn over and show his belly. He made that race interesting. Unless Rosberg had a problem he was always going to win. Hamilton had a tough start to the campaign but credit to him to be as close at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 25 points lost when he had to retire when leading have proven very costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not unsporting, otherwise the race director would have got involved. The only driver who made mention that it was unsportsmanlike was Vettel and everyone knows he is a miserable ****.
