Formula One Gran Premio de Mexico; Race ***SPOILERS***

Winners or whiners, that's the question...

Would've respected Lucky Louis a bit more when he was just able to catch Rosberg during the race and make another overtaking/crowding move like he did in Austin, then this childish/bankhanded "I want to stay in the race for an equaling Senna'esque record of 13 th wins in a season, but wasn't good enough to catch, let alone overtake Rosberg so I make it look like the team took a win from me and then the BBC can still make me look like a winner when I whine about it afterwards".

No even mentioning the fact that Rosberg beat Urban boy 4 times in a row at his own game.

About time the Merc. dominance ends, sooner rather than later.

 

Daniel Ricciardo to Simon Rennie: " Yep. Seb deserved that, he gave me no room at all."

What an ******! His star is fading in my book. He's been outperformed by a kid yet he still hangs on to his 3 wins last year. And lets be honest... his "wins" weren't wins.. .they were losses by Merc. He's a very good driver, but so is the rest of the field. He's no better than his teammates on either team or Bottas or any of them.

So you run up the inside at full speed with no hope of making the corner or at least not in a way that's going to allow you any position benefit and take out a guy who's gunning for a real stake in the WDC... nice move Ric. One season doesn't make you a star. Even Pastor one a race once and it was a far more legit win. I think he needs to stop believing the hype for a second or two.

I'm normally a decent fan of his... I like his demeanor and his balls out driving style. That comment however showed a different side.

 

Agreed. I keep reading around here that Vettel is a cut above others because he never makes mistakes. He looked like a drunk driver in Mexico.

Ferrari now has one overrated champ and another one that should have retired a long time ago. Next season they will more than likely have the best car. Will the drivers be able to deliver?

 

Yes, a bad day at the office for Seb. He didn't spend his day plowing-into multiple competitors, however, like some other driver might during a less-than-stellar race performance...

 

Oh by the way, final attendance figures for th event:

Friday: 89,365
Saturday: 111,964
Sunday: 134,845

3 days: 336,174

And no, I don't think they used the COTA counting method. They had something like 20 grandstands and everything was packed.

 

+1

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Insightful, rallyechris! Good post

 

Would be the Mex GP grid girls the best so far this year? I can't remember seeing better since the beginning of the season.

Could also have been a case of wanting too much, too quickly. Which lead to mistakes, lack of rythm, frustation, mistakes again etc.

And grip levels off the racing line were considerably lower than normally, which doesn't suit a more agressive racing style; to someone who's playing catch up...

 

Gorgeous.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

53 Sebastian Vettel Riccardo Adami Ah, it is a problem. I did a [censored by FOM] job today.


He admits it at least

 

This Hamilton guy has some superhuman energy. Traveling non-stop, "hanging out" with beautiful women, winning championships, etc. How the hell does he do it?
Meanwhile his closest competitors are home with their wife/kid(s) in a stable environment training and studying data.
