    I'm pretty confident that when Ham went top some people on here where saying how amazing he is and how much faster than vettel...but now it doesn't matter? Perhaps someone is bothered enough to search for it and post who wrote what on the subject.

    The car hasn't changed (only the one the average celebrity drive), they only have the 1 ''F1'' car there. What HAS changed is the track surface, it has got new tarmac on some spots, i think it even was an ongoing process so certain sections got done later.

    Even if it wasn't, there is too big a variable in everything for the TG laptimes to even remotely matter.

    I have made of it what I will, I always do, however it does not change the fact your seemingly endless boring tactic of trying to wind up Ham fans fails miserably every time, I suggest you take up limbo dancing.

    If only, yet the boards would be quieter, so I'd would rather put my money on a three-legged rocking horse winning a steeple chase, on that being the case where some are concerned. :)

    the argument back then by the toils and kraftwerks was it was the best proof as equal material... the blinded lewis fanboys will never open their eyes to the double standards they use to judge/excuse everything...

    as usual I thank Aircon to publish the select masterpieces of toil past the ignore function.

    All great fun. Vettel needs to return now.

    I encourage TG to have a shoot out day, and lets get them (F1 drivers) all out together on a fine day and the fastest half proceed to the next round until we get down to only the fastest two for the final ... they would have to build a grandstand as a lot of people would go to see that!

    Just because its monday morning, icy commute, and i'm on the cranky side, i'm gonna pick an argument with you kraft. So you agree that its the benchmark for the F1 drivers, but on this one you said its just entertainment. (Btw in previous comments on that thread you said it was just entertainment, but i'm cherry picking to make you look bad)

    From BBC F1 - Sports

    --Lewis Hamilton has twice been approached by Ferrari with a view to moving for the 2016 season, but the world champion has kept his word to Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and refused to open talks with the Italian team. (Daily Mirror)--

    BBC Sport - Formula 1 gossip: Hamilton, Ferrari, Rosberg, Vettel

    I imagine it is common for all the teams to talk to all the drivers, just in case.

    Would love to see Rosberg get a championship, and I can't explain why Hamilton rubs me the wrong way, but I have to admit that he's a solid driver in a good car, and he should easily win it again this year.

    No surprise LH was approached by Ferrari. He wasnt the only one they approached either. Normal F1 bizness :)

    And you would finally realize that he is just human without a car as good as last years Mercedes...I doubt that he would have better results than Alonso...

    Not surprised if Ferrari approached Ham, but he would be mad to leave Merc right now. Am surprised there hasn't been more noise about an approach to Rosberg. He would seem to be the easier of the two to extract...
