jambmoz Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 This will be a huge blow to Hamilton, if he can't turn this round in the race nico has all the momentum. Tho Lewis is the most talented he lacks the calm steel of a Schumacher or alonso when it's needed!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think there could possibly be a number of overtakes between the two today. Plenty opportunities in the DRS sections on the long straights.

Tazio Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I think there could possibly be a number of overtakes between the two today. Plenty opportunities in the DRS sections on the long straights. Yep, it isn't a circuit where pole is essential in any way. As a warm up I decided to watch some of the BTCC on ITV4 as I enjoy a good crash. Boring not a single big crash and hardly any overtaking. However it is currently Ginetta junior racing. 14-17 year olds in powerful rear wheel drive 2 seater sports cars. Utter carnage, it's great.

You mean like Hamilton had a DNF today? Anything can happen, a long way to go. Though I will concede Rosberg seems more gentle on his car, the commentators love to call Hamilton "the last of the late brakers" so maybe no coincidence he lost his brakes first.

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hamilton could easily win the next 3 races and wipe out Rosberg 's lead. I'm sure Rosberg will have a DNF at some point too. I think it will go all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. T Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Had a shocker in the predictor this week. Massa's crash and Hamilton's DNF really screwed me bad. He had the same problem at maclaren, more car issues than his team mate. He's defo hard on a car, I can see merc going for team orders soon!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It looked to me like Rosberg clipping Hamilton as Lewis was passing that caused Lewis's issues. From the footage the rear right tyre was getting shredded by the floor of the car (massive discolouration/stripping of the rubber on the inside 3rd of the tire), not surprised it wasn't noticed on the BBC commentary though Coulthard's co-commentator (Ben Edwards?) is absolutely useless. To me he was Perez was looking to close the door but didn't realise Massa was there. Little in it imo. I only got 27 points in the predictor ffs. The problem is he made a second move in the breaking zone, Massa made the move expecting him to follow the rules and follow the line into the turn Perez had already chosen.

My Left Nut Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Think Williams were a bit slow to react on the pit stops allowing Merc the undercut, although it probably wouldn't have mattered in the end. Not sure why Hamiltons pit stops are a lot slower than Rosbergs either, not over yet and I think Rosberg will get a DNF at some point but Hamilton needs to start winning!

My Interpretation of it is that the Safety Car controls the field like normal then when the safety car is about to come in it lines them up on the grid then the lights will go out again for the re start.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Long way to go yet, Lewis just needs to keep the head, hes undoubtedly one of the fastest drivers and is in the fastest car by far. Its really unfortunate he has had 4 wins to Nicos 3 yet finds himself a good bit behind. If all goes to form from the season so far (with car issues ironed out) Lewis will catch Nico by the double points race. 16 points to be gained in Abu Dhabi if win (with Nico at worst 2nd). That means 3 more wins to Lewis (again with Nico at worst 2nd) and hes in a with a chance of the championship. As bad an idea as double points is, it looks like it could be in Lewis' favour, and would certainly make up for the rotten luck he had in Australia and Canada. A better result over Nico in Britain next week and Germany fortnight after would put Lewis back on top psychologically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
