I wish rosberg hadn't had issues, I think Hamilton had his number but it would have been a good race to watch up front
instead of just in the back -Mike |

It's true that Alonso also asked for the stewards to check for vettel's actions, but the tone was different.
Vettel has been whining on every lap for at least 6 laps... He really sounded like a spoiled child. |

Meh. Honestly I don't remember anyone bitching like Sebastian today... Have you heard him ? 4-5 times at the radio ? High pitched and all, like somebody stole his lunchbox or something..?

Look Im not saying he wasnt being whiny, or lame, Im simply saying hes being a F1 pilot. Just like I thought it was lame when Kimi basically assaulted a lotus engineer last year when he wasnt happy and then just gave up on the season, just like I thought it was lame when Massa went on whining for 4 laps about having to make a drive though last year, just like I thought Hamilton has been lame this entire year. Hell, god rest his soul, Senna had plenty of "lame"moments. Prost had many a lame whiny moment. They are F1 pilots, finicky, flakey, emotional primadonas in zoom zoom cars. Its a part of the sport, part of the personallity needed to push the envelope, and chase a stupid checkered flag at 300 kph. |

Found it after I figured out how to tell Google what I wanted Gimmicky, but it has improved the sport, IMO, as the aero characteristics of the cars caused the following cars to lose front end grip when they got close enough to pass. Overtaking (passing) was all but impossible, unless the following car was vastly superior to the leading car in straightline performance or in cornering speed or in ability to accelerate off the corner. Rarely are the top cars vastly superior in these characteristics.

You assume i hate him for winning. If that makes you feel better go ahead. I don't like him because he bitches all the time. Any time he has car trouble he's bitching at the team. Any time he has to work to pass someone he bitches about being forced off track or blocked. He blatantly violates team orders. It would have been different today if Alonso had done anything wrong but he didn't. Every time Vettel failed to pass he couldn't help but cry about how unfair it all is. If it were just some of those things every once in a while it would be a different story but it's all the time. By all means though, feel free to convince yourself that he annoys the shit out of me just because he had the hot car for a few years. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

So again..he acts like every other driver. I have heard Kimi bitch over and over this season about the steering, the power, the grip. This guy bumped me, that guy bumped me. But he's Kimi so he gets a pass. Hell Massa disobeyed team orders this year..he gets a pass..hes Massa!
I get it though. I hate hamilton for very much the same reasons you state you hate Seb. However Seb just doesnt bother me like ,something in my eye Lewis. Hell, ill even admit Seb can whine like a bitch...so cant they all. I wish they had keyed alonso more than once, like the six times thry Keyed Seb. Evidently Alonso crying just as much the"he cant do that" as Seb. Remeber we only see and hear a fraction of what is said. I still recant with every f1 pilot is a whiny, flakey, primadona. Part of the sport...and I fucking love the sport!!! |

Vettel is on his own level. He's everything that annoys me about various other drivers wrapped into one.
Massa gets no pass and neither does Kimi. Kimi has a lot of redeeming qualities though. Nothing about Vettel appeals to me. You may like the guy. That's fine, but i just can't get over his tone and attitude when things aren't going his way. I can appreciate passion in many forms, Just not his. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Another great race... Rosberg retiring kinda sucked though... I think Lewis may have had something for him and it would have been another battle to watch.
How fucking good is Bottas? Good to see another Finn kicking ass since Kimi is apparently packed in in mentally. And speaking of Kimi... WTF is up with the huge trench right next to the track? Kimi lost it all on his own for sure, but it was probably a "survivable" incident until he hit the chasm coming back on the track. Looking at the replay, it was like he hit a speed bump... crazy, and damn lucky he didn't get severely injured. |

Not sure how many US viewers know, but Max Chilton came real close to losing his head via one of Kimi's wheels. The main complaint is that Kimi doesn't (can't be bothered) to walk any track prior to the event. Had he walked the track (like everybody else), he and his engineers would have noticed/noted the trench like aspect of that area. |

Alonso and Bottas get the driver of the day awards. Don't forget Alonso had that five second penalty and still managed a P6 after starting 19th (?). Bottas to finish P2 after starting like 17 or 18 or something. A lot of his passes were around the outside of turns, too. Great drive...
PS - Crybaby Seb was getting old. Even the NBC commentators were laughing at him. "He won't let me pass, daddy." haha. |

Have you ever witnessed a driver go wide on a turn exit and decide "Well I'm not 100% sure it's safe to re enter so instead of maintaining racing speed and squeezing back on I'm going to stop the car and let the whole field by." No one ever does it so getting mad about that is stupid especially given the fact that he had plenty of room to re enter had he not gone airborne and lost control. Now had he walked the track would he have remembered the trench and avoided it? Who knows... never a bad idea though. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

That's a bit of a stretch. Have you ever witnessed a driver go wide on a turn exit and decide "Well I'm not 100% sure it's safe to re enter so instead of maintaining racing speed and squeezing back on I'm going to stop the car and let the whole field by." No one ever does it so getting mad about that is stupid especially given the fact that he had plenty of room to re enter had he not gone airborne and lost control. Now had he walked the track would he have remembered the trench and avoided it? Who knows... never a bad idea though. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile This. I understand the need for drainage, but there's gotta be a better solution than a car-killing trench a few feet off the track..... |

Sometimes you can't avoid them, especially when you get run off the road.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Both Alonso and Vettel did a bang up job today, it was nice to see the racing... someone just needs to stop giving Seb Red Bull before the race. Fernando was wound pretty damn tight on that one too though, he was ranting for a full lap afterward. I'm not going to fault either of them, and if you haven't ever raced yourself, shut up... Your blood gets up during moments like that and you say things... bad things. Bottas is definitely driver of the day though. Good drive kid, I'm impressed. Same with Ricciardo, he just drives and gets shit done. I think both will definitely be champions one day. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I completely agree, Alonso drove a great race today!

Bottas will probably get his first win this season, the Williams folks seem to be doing a good job of at least keeping up with Mercedes in development as the season goes along.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Understandable anger at Kimi... but seriously... why in the hell is there a trench big enough to kill (or worse, launch) a race car right next to a race track? I could understand if it were a street circuit, but Silverstone is probably one of the most carefully cared-for and prepared hunks of track in the world. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: There are quite a few folks are really pissed at Kimi for that little escapade. Not sure how many US viewers know, but Max Chilton came real close to losing his head via one of Kimi's wheels. The main complaint is that Kimi doesn't (can't be bothered) to walk any track prior to the event. Had he walked the track (like everybody else), he and his engineers would have noticed/noted the trench like aspect of that area.

Quote HistoryQuoted: They update and fix tracks for driver safety all the time. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that a good "run back on" area after all the new paved run off areas is probably a pretty good fucking idea.

And it may or may have not broke his rear suspension coming back on sending him to the wall. While we're on the topic of fixing things at the track, why don't they have a tire barrier on that section of guardrail he hit?? It's the abutment to a bridge, and it sticks out in the track, you'd think there might be a chance someone would hit it?? Also if you look at the section of guardrail, the whole piece had been replaced recently, meaning someone else might have done the same thing? In the end, it's still a race track, you can't make everything absolutely safe, not to mention Silverstone is old. Yes it's been updated, but it wasn't designed with safety in mind all those years ago. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I remember telling my chief mechanic that he was a raging cunt that couldn't hold a job fixing lawn mowers, let alone be working on my bikes. We got drunk later, he knocked the shit out of me, and we were friends again. Frankly, I wish they would get rid of the in-car radio broadcasting altogether, it would make it a hell of a lot easier for teams to communicate. |

tell you what... i would rather flip like that than hit something like kimi did. dissipation of energy ftw.. Mid-Ohio ......... what a crap track. I raced there once (motorcycle). "Hey, let's fix this asphalt track but we'll use concrete instead!" Stupid bastards. The only, literally only, saving grace is the track layout. That was pretty cool. edit: looking at satellite shot now. It appears they've corrected their problem. edit2: Just read through the wiki and the concrete patches were intentional, which drops my opinion even further . (patches since removed)
Not an issue for the cars but it was for the motorcycles. I was about 5 feet behind one guy, both of us leaned over for the right hander, when we transitioned from asphalt to concrete. The concrete area was higher and something on Dave's swingarm caught (I want to say the axle nut/head) and nearly launched him into a highside. I had barely enough time to go upright a bit. |
