Mr. T Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 They waved the checkered flag too early so the Chinese gran prix result is taken from the standings at lap 54 instead of lap 56. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/113573 Cost Kobayashi his 17th place.

Smack Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thinking about this double points thing for the last race and some other considerations in a two horse race.... Under the old 10pts for a win 6pts for second system Hamilton would be on 30 with Rosberg on 28. The current system has Rosberg 4 points ahead. So Hamilton's DNF in Australia has been costly. I was imagining a scenario where Hamilton keeps on winning and extends a decent lead on Rosberg, only to not finish for whatever reason in the last race and Rosberg picks up 50pts to win the championship. I thought at first double points might be fun but I can see now that it's baws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have a driver that's won 3 out of 4 races not in the lead of the championship just because of 1 DNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Hamilton has used significantly less fuel in every race so far - why shouldn't he turn up the wick and get the benefit of that...?

I don't think it was deliberate by Rosberg in qualifying either. 1 thing is the 2 Mercedes drivers don't like each other anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His behaviour is the sort of thing Seb Vettel (rightfully) got slaughtered for. Hardly. Rosberg has beaten him once in the 5 races they've both finished - which happened to be at Rosberg's best track and in dubious circumstances. It is Hamilton's non finish in the first race that has kept Rosberg close or ahead of Hamilton, not Rosberg doing better than him. Hamilton loves Canada (the next race) and I predict he'll win that race fairly comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive lap from Nico but I still think Lewis would have taken pole if he didn't lock up in the middle sector on his final run. The margins are very fine at the moment.
