    Kimi will trash everyone else......Massa will do good, and Lewis will end up crying because some italiam mosquito was sucked by his engine and made him loose power...of course the mosquito was sent by Nico....

    However, que sera sera

    Earth-shattering news. Who would have thought? ;)

    Research dollars well-spent. It's not like any (read:ALL) of us have been saying 'you can't have two alpha dogs on one team' or anything of the sort.

    Aircon, winding people up? Say it ain't so! I find that hard to believe....

    I liked the fact they researched and went through the drill to quantify the issue. It is fascinating and presents a unique challenge for operations of any kind to balance personal and collective results.

    A fair assessment. I would have no issues had they penalized him for the incident. With the new 'let them race' rule interpretations we will see more of this unresolved!

    For the sake of the championship we need Ricci to win, Lewis to come second and a good solid dnf from Nico. That would liven up the end of season run in nicely!

    True. Could have gone either way.

    That Charlie & the stewards looked at it and called it a racing incident is great IMO.

    Fantastic! Long may it continue! Love it! They're race car drivers, Let them race, damnit! :)

    Cheers,

    How does a low level of downforce make lower speed acceleration all that much trickier? I see cars spinning going into corners, or at about the apex of corners, but not very much going out of corners - unless they touch tires.

    So you would rather have an exciting finish to the season than to have the truly best driver win? That is the FIA policy - double the points in the last race for absolutely no other reason than promotionalism and showmanship.

    Of course, I would also make the point that Mercedes does not want any more DNF's for either driver - they want to win both driver and manufacturer and could care less about "excitement".

    Torque/turbo's and less grip possibly.

    He could just as easily have taken himself out.... "Woulda, coulda, shoulda".... He needs a new nose and Hammy doesn't get a puncture was just as likely.

    A racing incident, pure & simple IMO. Let them race! ;)

    If you weren't so blinded by Lewis love, you'd actually see there's no contradiction.
