Exactly what I meant when I said "he learned that he needs to take what is his." In the after race interview Nico himself said that he himself needed to get it done.... He did not whine one bit about Lewis, he owned it himself.....something that Lewis would never have done by the way... LMAO[emoji23]
PS: Don't forget Nico had his own mechanical issues that put him back in the field, and Don't forget the huge amount of time Nico made up on Lewis in the end, running 3 to 4 seconds a lap quicker. Lewis's block was the only thing that kept him behind. Both drove great today, but Alonso proved once again why he is considered the best!!

Interesting battle brewing at Merc. Lauda backing Hammy Wolfe backing Rosberg. That could make bigger explosions than the drivers.

Why is attendance down? Look at the ticket prices.
If we were paying what tickets cost at other tracks, I couldn't have afforded to to the Indy race for 7 years. -

Speculation is Bernie's "offer" is up to $100M (US). I don't get it. The word "settlement" makes it sound like the cash goes to the bank that made the accusation, to get them to drop the charges...which sounds like another bribe to me. But the rest of this sounds more like some sort of plea deal where he admits and pays a fee to the court, negotiated to curtail the trial (and sentencing).

Here's a few bucks to make all this go away, but I'm not guilty.
When you have a net worth just north of $4 billion whats a 100 million to make something rather unpleasant go away. -

Should have used the bribe money he received as a bribe, thus beginning a giant recursive loop of bribery that eventually collapses the German economy.
The kicker is that the state of Bavaria is considering using the payoff to build a new F1 ring.
Saw that on the Beeb somewhere. I'm hoping it was a joke, or sarcastic comment. -

Governments are the same everywhere. If you have enough money you don't have to follow the same rules.

Apparently 1% of that $100M goes to charity. No idea where the other 99% will go.

List of 2014 F1 driver salaries.
I see some relative bargains down there past the half way point...

I'd guess when his contract is coming due he will be asking for more money. I think more money would be well deserved. Red Bull is getting more that their moneys worth with Ricciardo.

Vettel didn't get paid much at the beginning either. It's just Red Bull

Frank Williams is know to send drivers packing when they ask for more money. I figure he better hang on to Bottas.
