    I'm sick of watching races where no one can touch mercedes. Unless lewis is winning then it's okay

    Please not another Rosberg snore fest. Hopefully the weather will through some water around and mix things up a bit...

    I'm hoping that Lewis gets irritated and tries to take the lead at the start and runs into the back/side of Nico and we have a race where WE DO NOT KNOW WHO THE WINNER IS BEFORE THE RACE STARTS.

    I'd like to see some nasty weather to bring out the true racers out there with all that turbo torque. So Jenson can show us if he's still got it, Fred can earn his money from the back to the front and Kimi can ask for some more ice cream.

    Well I am sick of that but it's more the fact thAt nobody else on the first few rows will be able to challenge rosberg. He will be a car length ahead by the first corner.

    It's worse for lewis here than in Austria because at least in Austria nico was stuck behind the Williams (who weren't exactly slow but slower then Merc). And today nico will have a nice get away before lewis can get past the traffic.

    I was getting angry after qualy last night and I don't think this race will have any smiles in store for me either. Unless nico retires

    Will Nico's good fortune and clever driving continue on Ham's home turf, is the question, so far it has.

    Hoping for the weather to shake things up, and see Fred Kimi and the Williams drivers work there way up the field.

    SC will probably make a appearance, so Toil even if Nico disappears up front, his lead will go the same way :)

    Stories going round the paddock that Button has been told his contract won't be renewed for next year.

    Pretty dick to do so at this weekend in particular.

    If true, I think they would only shut the door entirely if they had intimations from someone else that they may join next year to replace him (hint FA)

    Safety cars are boring and too much of that will stop hamilton working his way up

    That sucks. The car is horrible, and he gets the blame. I hope he has a superb 2nd season, and maybe he will head to Lotus..

    Just watched the in detail blocking thing from ham to rosberg...Might have been a bit harsh towards lewham on the actual lap. There's no doubt it cost Rosberg some time but not as much as I first anticipated.

    They never showed from the part where Rosberg asked Lew to speed up though, only the very last 2 corners before the line. Less than .5 of a second :eek:.

    Yes no biggie IMO, Ham loses out so it's all fair either way I suppose.

    In this case common sense seemed to have prevailed, from the ruling bodies.

    :)

    Nothing the ruling bodies could've done as not a chance in hell Mercedes would complain about their own driver :D.

    I have no doubt that if it was for instance Button blocking them, a 5p penalty would apply.

    Racing has been pretty good this year hasn't it?

    I watch less of it (ofcourse watch the qualies and races) but not so much the practices; I tune in on those only to see what the times are really.

    The NOISE MAN!

    :)
