darth cookie posted:If Rosberg can bring it, it could still be alright. Even last year Rosberg wasn't on Hamilton's level. He wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but without HAM's various shortfalls the battle wouldn't have been nearly as close. IMO the only other driver with Hamilton's skill level is Alonso, with a question mark about Bottas and Aussie Dan, who seem to be reasonably talented but obviously inexperienced. Vettel doesn't seem to have the temper to fight for it in a car that's not dominant, and I'm not seeing anyone else on the list that pops out. Hell, as rookies, I can see Carlos Sainz Jr. and Max Verstappen to do good stuff, but I can't say anything more certain. Basically: Top notch: HAM, ALO Talented, but who knows: BOT, RIC, KVY(?) Apply yourself: ROS, VET Old and helpful: BUT, MAS Maybe soon: All the rookies (Seinz, Verstappen, Nasr)

Kilmers Elbow posted:Lewis stabs Webber in the back.... That reads more like a stab at Red Bull rather than Webber. Mercedes have nearly always let Lewis and Nico race fairly, and there haven't been any hints at either of them being the Number Two driver. Yeah there was that incident with orders to maintain position, but IIRC it would have been the same if the other one was in front, whereas RBR's team orders were always favouring Vettel.

Alright, I'm feeling like an idiot about the race. The time right now is 11:05pm, Saturday. Our DST change is between today and tomorrow, we 'lose' one hour. I can't figure out whether the race is at 10 or at 9 local time, and how to set my alarm. VV: Thank you. I can handle a conversion, but I just didn't feel sure. Really appreciated.

AgentJotun posted:Will either do it in less then 161 races though? Lewis needs to go 7 wins in the next 11 races, Vettel 1 win in the next 20. Both could probably also reach Prost's total, especially Vettel as he could have a good 8 seasons left in him after this one. Neither of those sound unlikely. He got 11 wins in 19 races last year, so if he gets a good streak rolling I think he can equal it. And Vettel just needs one win in the entire season, that's pretty doable.

krushgroove posted:Going even further outside (or possibly deeper inside, who knows) the boundaries, why have the hostesses and grid girls at all? With female drivers on the horizon it's going to look pretty bad to have totty on the grid - what happens when Susie Wolff finally gets a race drive, will she have a skimpily dressed female or male sign holder? Agreed on the first one. It's really behind the times. Even skimpy dudes would continue a bad habit. And that's not a bad idea. Get fans to donate to charity auctions, and/or give the spot to people in general (kids, like in football for example), to promote causes and what not

Gmaz posted:2005 was the season when tyres lasted all race. It was also the season with least overtaking per race in the history of F1 (or at least since the 70's, you can check the data on cliptheapex). Durable tyres = lovely and boring races. How about tyres that don't last a race, but teams can do whatever they want. Either have two options available, or even the entire lineup, and teams can pick whatever. None of this "but he has to put the other tyres on" poo poo. DRS is nice and good imo, but this feels too artificial.

Is there a stated reason why WEC doesn't upload the races on YouTube after a certain time? Not live, since they can make money from that, but two months down the line, for example? Or does their subscription thing allow people to watch races that have happened, not just live?

Farmland Park posted:I can't judge Hamilton because I would probably have reacted in a same, or worse manner. Good answers though. Oh well, despite being an unironic Hamilton fan, I chose to look at this from a bright side; a more interesting DWC. Also I'm happy for Maldonado continuing his poo poo-streak. Hell, anyone would have reacted similarly at best. He's one of the best 3-4 drivers on the grid in terms of skill, he led the race, was on the way to win after getting his first pole there, and he got completely hosed over by the team, without rhyme or reason. It wasn't a necessary gamble that failed, it wasn't someone overtaking him or anything, it was a repeat of a mistake they've made before, and totally inexcusable.
