The Future's Maroon Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Haven't been on this thread since last week, and hadn't seen the clip showing what actually happened...I have now and as others have said - felt sick watching it and how the hell he is still even alive is a miracle on its own.

The Future's Maroon Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Another Hamilton Pole, although if Bottas didnt mess up the last corner he could well have sneaked it...was going to be really close. Special mention has to go to Kyvat, his home GP and sticks the Torro Rosso on 5th....as Martin Brundell said, the last time a youngster was sticking Torro Rosso's that high up it was a certain Mr Vettel driving it at the time...and where did Vettel finish - didnt even get into final qualification!

Although I'm glad that Rosberg made the mistake in terms of the championship it has ruined this race. It would have been a good battle between Hamilton, Rosberg and Bottas (to a lesser extent).

The Future's Maroon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I see its not mentioned in that article that another rumour regarding Alonso is he is (with other funding he has already secured) going to take over the Lotus team and drive with them (with a Honda engine). I can't see him taking a year out, at his age. McLaren seems a good bet...but for who because Button has done really well (I think)...or there is still the rumours of teams being allowed a third car meaning a switch to Mercedes is possible.

Where was that. Havent seen it. BBC had an article saying that if he doesnt go to McLaren he might take a year out then come back in 2016 and race for Mercedes.

The Future's Maroon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It was actually Martinn Brundell that said said in the pre-race programme on Sunday on the F1 channel...probably just guessing, but I'd imagine he would have some ITK contacts in the pit lane. The simple fact is no-one knows and won't until he announces it himself, all just speculation really...as with most high profile sports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple fact is no-one knows and won't until he announces it himself, all just speculation really...as with most high profile sports! Absolutley but its always good to speculate. With McLaren being the only possible place for him next season by the looks of it. provided the dont add an extra car each. Although he could get a drive for Caterham(if they make it to 2015) as Kobayashi looks to be burning bridges by telling the media that 21 laps in he was todl to retire by management to save mileage on parts. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/29633138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future's Maroon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The Kobayashi thing, I remember his interview with the woman reported just after he retired...he didn't say that at the time, he said that he was told to 'box' and wasn't told why...later though the team said they had seen something which could have resulted in him retiring anyway - even the reporter (Natalie Pinkham I think) was stunned, and so was he. So much so he said he doesn't even know if he will be at the next race. That report on the BBC is not what I heard watching the race at the time. Yes, AFTER the race it was reported he was told that it was due to a problem with the car and also funding issues and not being able to buy spare parts if something went wrong....but why wouldn't they have told him that at the time - even when he was still going round the track the Team Radio came on when they asked him to box, he asked back right away - why, car is fine?

Now this ludicrous double points shite keeps him in the hunt.. If rosberg win the title on account of that F1 will plummet in popularity overnight Except for Austra where Hamilton mucked up qualifying. But I agree, Lewis has been far and away the best driver on the grid in the best car this year. For anyone else to win it after he's won 9 out of 17 races so far (Nico has only won 4) would be ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way you can make that assessment, Ricardo wouldn't have won a race were it not for Mercedes mishaps... And RBR is the 2nd best chassis by a good margin That said I think he has been great a breath of fresh air in the sport, has also proven what many suspected that vettel wasn't in that top group of drivers despite the titles... The benchmark at the moment is alonso, Hamilton is at that level .. I think Ricardo may be, I'd love to see him in the same car as one of the other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
