Hamilton v Rosberg Thread

What if you started a thread and nobody came?

 

Why would the thread be closed ... because you don't want to read anymore of it?

If that's the case ... there's a simple solution.

And we almost pulled it off!..... It had almost dropped off the page before someone responded. And then I couldn't resist a response to one of the responses.

You are weak grasshopper.

 

Yep. Sorry.

Cheers,
Ian

 

Be strong. Remember there is no try, only do.

 

A nice single Malt usually does the trick..

Since you haven't been here throughout the entirety, I will thank you for your pointless and obvious solutions to something that is not really a problem, but more a conversation piece that seems to keep this undying thread going. You get the captain obvious award for today.

 

I'd be more concerned with starting a thread and toil comes!

 

Haven't read a post of his in weeks.
Oddly I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

 

Sometimes I require what only you can provide ......you're absinthe...

Gotta be honest, with previous ignorees I was often tempted to hit the 'view post' button just to have a chuckle. With him, I don't even bother doing that......

Unfortunately, a few continue to quote & try and reason with him, although that seems to be getting rarer now too.

Cheers,
Ian

 

I make the heart grow fonder?

 

I'm not doing it to prove a point or make a statement. Just maintaining my sanity.

 

Yup!

 

Mine flew out the window I started postin on here....ask Aircon Pete..

 

You sir are nothing if not a cautionary tale.

 

I've been here everyday since 2005 .. again, why close the thread?

Mercedes F1 team banned drivers from communicating after Spa GP

Mercedes F1 team banned drivers from communicating after Spa GP - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were banned from speaking to their Mercedes Formula 1 team in the immediate fall out of their Belgian Grand Prix crash, this week's AUTOSPORT reveals.

Mercedes chiefs were so angry that the pair had collided on lap two of the race at Spa that they took unprecedented action against the pair.

AUTOSPORT's F1 season review issue (which can be read online here) reveals that both men were told on the Sunday night in Belgium that they were not allowed to speak to each other, or anyone at the team, until they were contacted.

In the meantime, Mercedes chiefs cleared up matters back at the factory, which included an intense two-hour meeting on the Monday after the race between Rosberg and Hamilton's team members.

Although there were heated exchanges between the two camps about what had been going on in previous weeks, in the end the team settled its differences and agreed on a way forward.

Only once the situation within the Brackley factory was sorted, Hamilton and Rosberg were ordered to make their way to the team's base.

Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff has drawn short of confirming details about what happened immediately after Spa, but he says that the situation was bad enough for the team to make clear to both men that they had overstepped the mark.

Furthermore, he thinks the fact that both were told that a repeat situation in the future would not be tolerated and could result in one of them losing their drive, ensured that things calmed down.

"We came out of it as a super strong team," he told AUTOSPORT. "We came out and we said: no driver is ever going to interfere with this team. We are one team.

"And it made us so united because maybe the powers shifted a little bit.

"Not in a power game way - because a game like that is lethal and you cannot play games in a team.

"But, when we got them [the drivers] back at the factory they realised.

"We told them that you cannot do that again because we had bits on the car that were supposed to come at Monza, and bits that were supposed to come at Singapore.

"People had worked overnight, people didn't see their families and they had thrown it away on the second lap.

"We were not saying you are 100 per cent at fault, or one of you is - but it was enough that it was 51 per cent.

"So we said: 'Don't do it again. If you do it again, we will decide if we want to continue with this line-up'.

"That message being delivered, semi-officially, strengthened the position."

 

This is precisely why I don't think Alonso will ever go to Mercedes as long as Toto is running the show.

 

Well Alonso and Hamilton at Mclaren didn't exactly work out fine did it.

Two alpha dogs in one team rarely will get on, not exactly Wolff's fault for laying the law down is it.

RD didn't do that, and hence forth lost a WDC because of it IMO.

 

FA would go to Mercedes to win another title if given the opportunity. If the board at Mercedes, not far from me here hired FA, Toto would do his job and work with him. FA is smart and hungry. He would go without question in my view. That is the team to beat.
