Arena FIA Formula 1 Racing

Ugh I just want to punch Rosberg until my hand is broken.

 

As expected, Lewis looking like he's got the measure of Rosberg now.

Hamilton is in a different league this year and finally showing the potential Ron Dennis saw in him all those years ago...

 

Rosberg is basically like Webber, or Massa. Webber was never as entitled or whiny as him - Marks' too Australian for that **** - but they're not champion material.

So good to see that McLaren turn in an 11th place. I expect to see them at full power and fighting for podiums.

 

What's surprised me most was Maldonado during the race, he seemed to be doing quite well but still that clumsy unpracticed way he drives, which lead me to believe that it's the new guys that are making him look not too bad by comparison...

Happy to see Bottas do well. I really want to see Williams step up their game.

(I usually end up having to watch the race a day or two late and have to avoid looking in this thread haha, but still, exciting )

 

Anyone else excited to see Mexico City this year? I am! The track map looks great, similar to Australia maybe? Anyways... Just wanted to share.


Sad state of affairs for the city itself though. :\ Hopefully the Grand Prix brings in a lot of revenue for the people.

 

I saw Sergio Perez and possibly Sky F1's Martin Brundle, drive round some of the construction, and I am excited that the race track approaches two stands that are curved to face the oncoming cars, and the cars blast between them.

Well done to Rosberg for victory in Spain. He owes Hamilton's pit crew a drink.

 

He didn't have to work much heels1785

I was hoping that all the upgrades that Ferrari did would have closed the gap but nope, back to Ferrari vs. Williams for second in the Constructors.

I'd bet the people of Mexico city could find better ways to spend the money their government spent on that track. Which looks fun BTW. I like the series of corners towards the end straight.

 

Refuelling to return in 2017. Good. Can't come quick enough

agreed

 

@ Merc

 

LOL @ Rosberg

 

Or not

 

Ho hum the Briton won. At least Vettel got third.

 

Great race, don't know how to feel about Williams. Disappointed with the bad calls.

 

Jules Bianchi died.

RIP Jules

 

Dreadful news, Re. Jules Bianchi.

I guess all you can say is that at least he is no longer suffering and he can now rest in peace.

 

Well... That was a bit of a Grand Prix wasn't it?

How many penalties did Maldonado get in the end?

And what a save for Lewis... After how atrocious his driving was this afternoon, Rosberg STILL finished up behind him. Could be a crucial moment for the Championship, I think...

 

Lol @ Mercedes.

"Le victoire est pour Jules."

 

I think the highlight for me was, on the Sky coverage, how close Rosberg was to tears. It was delicious. I nearly passed out from the joy.

He also blames Ricciardo, or at least infers the FIA erred in not awarding a penalty to Dan, over their coming-together. Which, given it was a repeat of the ham-fisted clumsiness that characterised his collision with Hamilton, suggests he's learned roughly nothing. It cost Ricciardo a possible win, a definite second place and proved Rosberg's in the position he's in mostly because of his car.
