    I think Hammy showed as much enthusiasm as Nico has when he isn't on the top spot of the podium. After his third straight podium, even Bottas seems to have taken the enthusiasm down from were it was 3 races ago.

    In a close race, I'd pick Hamilton over Nico all day/everyday (I would actually probably pick Alonso and Seb over Nico as well in equal cars). As far as who the better person is...hard to say because Nico doesn't seem to have much of a personality to me. I think Seb whines more than Hamilton, but he at least seems to have a sense of humor.

    I loved the repeat Red Bull / Ferrari duel. I want to see more of that each race.

    Points racing and over regulation does not put fans in the stands. I have tried as I might to embrace the new formula in F1 but the reality is that it lacks almost everything that made F1 so great in it's heyday.....

    The "men" in the machines should be more in control than a voice in their ear from a man in front of the data monitors. The data from what the car is doing should come from the drivers like it used to. Live data gathering via telemetry should be banned during the races themselves.... Then the racing will be back in the hands of the driver.

    I'm surprised that there haven't been more accidents caused by distracted drivers:smilewinkgrin:

    Messing with the points was, is stupid, but as far as Lewis and Nico and this year's Championship are concerned, it is a moot issue. [emoji6]

    Barring any catastrophic event to Nico....

    That looks like a LOT of drag to me. Anyone remember ever seeing this huge wing used in a race?

    I assume they used those for transport. Are they motorcycle tires?

    I figure if Seb can win a championship with 3 DNF's (2010 I believe), than it is possible for anybody to do it.

    It will probably come down to the last double points race. Then for more fun next year we can have more double points races. Got to keep people guessing.:rolleyes::crazy::eek:ut:

    Man Lewis was burning up the track in quali, but not in a good way. Lewis sure is having more than his share of bad luck. Hope the other side of the garage gets some of the same.

    Karma, I don't understand how that applies here?

    And yes, Merc have confirmed, Hamilton gets not only a new engine and gearbox but new chassis as well. Not surprising, really.

    Another disappointing quali for Hammy after owning the field through all of practice. Nico continues to be lucky that Hamilton is having car issues.

    Great choice, Bernie. Right up there with your double-points idea.

    /\ LMFAO.

    Nico learned today that he has to take what is his. That said he also kept his cool and his eye on the Championship when Lewis all but wrecked them both blocking him....a move that I don't blame Lewis for doing either....[emoji6]
