    Best interview ever! DC:D to Seb:mad:, "You had the car, where it all go wrong for you?" OUCH!!!!!

    Love Ferrari, not a Seb fan. Don't want to see a Seb have a WDC in a Ferrari. Never.

    Congrats to Ham!

    F1 needs to get rid of grid penalties, fuel limits, and tire selection. Let them run any tire and all the fuel needed.

    It maybe because Bull is experimenting on engine settings on one car trying to gain some advantage, thus compromise the reliability

    Also, Abitebould, the Renault manager, had said in the past that Red Bull didn't follow the Schedule established by Renault, but did its own things.

    Red Bull has for example mixed components from different upgrades, and created some cocktails of parts Renault didn't approve of.

    Anyway, since he announced his departure in June (July ?), it's no surprise if Ricciardo has been the sacrificial lamb in the Red Bull camp.

    It was an intended slap across Vet's face. It was a direct insult and Seb deserved it. Basically, "By the way Seb, you suck." :D

    I've been saying that for years. He doesn't deserve a seat in a Ferrari. Never did, never will.

    OK for fuel and tyres, but I am in favour of grid penalties.

    They don't seem to be such an obstacle for the best drivers anyway.

    So what does Ferrari have to do over the next two races to win constructors title?

    Yes, it was an insult and just another great example of British sportmanship...Like this broadcast is only for the Lewis fanboys on the isle...
    One should ask Coulthard what he has achieved in his entire career other than standing in Michaels way at Spa to think he is in a positon to ask such questions...what a twit

    Darn those pesky Brits! Let's get them out of F1 and make it more fun and competitive for everyone else :) Heck they are getting out of the EU - why not just rip up their FIA memberships too.

    That's 2 in a week yet total silence from Red Bull as to what the problem was. Which makes it very suspicious it was Red Bull problem otherwise they would have been badmouthing Renault from the rooftops.

    Well......

    If Kimi and Vettel go 1-2 for the last two races that's 86 points they pick up. So Bottas and LH would need to be limited to 30 points.

    Yeah....unlikely, but a DNF here or there and you never know.

    I did notice Vettel made some front wheel contact and didn't spin today, so there's that... Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Well, Alfa-Sauber crossed into the WCC points beating STR( yes, they swapped out components like nobody's business).

    STR has been used as guinea pig for Honda to improve its power units for next year.

    This year results didn't matter much for the owners (Red Bull) more interested in Honda developing a good powerplant next year.

    2019 will be crucial for Red Bull as they switch to Honda power. As it stands, Honda's form don't look too promising.

    Be thankful it was as good as it was! Nightmare scenario would have been Elton on the top step and champion, with Coul-tard basically asking him on a date during the interview. :rolleyes:

    The Mexican crowd was great and enjoyed the show
    Im not a fan of the circuit, neither are driver's fans of this circuit aparently, but hey, the crowd enjoyed the show
    The question to Seb was clearly aimed at "rub it in" and "provoque" so Seb's reaction was actually mild in light of the idiotic nature if the question I eould have told him to f.u.c.k o.f.f and walked away...
    Wrt the Balerina, at least 6 other drivers would have achieved multiple championships in the Silver Arrow
    The Balerina is a good driver but Faaaaaar from deserving 5 championships
    Mercedes Benz and AMG are the real champions here Period
