Duracell Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 19 hours ago, RicME85 said: Funny thing is everyone slated Hamilton for jumping ship but he clearly saw signs of McLaren falling away. I don't understand Hamilton's reputation sometimes. Where others drives are praised for smart career moves, Hamilton is described as lucky. When other drivers are praised for being competitive, Hamilton is described as sulky. I think when you strip away the nonsense, a lot of it boils down to the fact that people simply don't like the fact he wears jewelry and listens to hip-hop.

Interesting, wonder who will race for Mclaren at Monaco, cant see Button coming back surely for one race? It did make me chuckle when i read Alonso acknowledged he would be on "a steep learning curve". Erm yeah literally You know you can just see him winning or something and some deal being struck for him to stay and not racing in F1 again.

Throwback to Nigel Mansell, remember he won his first race, the championship and a few other accolades. Shows can be done, seem to remember he left GP racing as champion, might be wrong?

Zag zig Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Absolute controlled drive by Vettel today, Williams had a slight cock up day all round and made it easy, but still this season seems the most open for sometime. Looking forward to Russia already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 So far Mercedes tactics this year have been poor compared to ferraris. At least it's been closer this year, just going the wrong way for my allegiances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelBlimp Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 A worthy winner as well. First win is usually the catalyst for more as long as you have the car. Everyone thinks they're a race winner in their heads but not many prove it. Bottas can now measure himself against the best. Pleased for him. Shame for Kimi though, threw pole away and messed up the race start. Could have been his day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaspode Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Brilliant from Ferrari & Raikkonen to find the little lad who'd been crying and take him into the paddock - think I also saw Kimi smile at one point (possibly the first time in the past 3 years....)

You have highlighted the possibility of a dangerous precedent being set. Just imagine what would happen the next time the Gumps are relegated or narrowly miss out on promotion, and the cameras focus on the tears coming from people sitting in the two or three occupied pink seats and the Football League, awarded a bag of cash or threatened with a bakery bomb postcoded Greece Nottingham, allow them to retain their current status.

Not going to happen though is it Eddie, they are already planning their 3rd star dontcha know Meanwhile back on the F1 thread, or should I say Indy 500, chances of Fernando hitting pole?
