    :D

    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.

    Maybe not anybody, but at least 3 or 4 of the top drivers.

    Lewis is not Seb, and Seb wasn't getting beaten by his teammate (in at least an equal car) like Nico is Lewis.

    Barring a castrophic event, the only thing that will help Lewis beat Nico for the Championship is Niki Lauda.

    Long way to go, I'm thinking it's pretty much 50-50 who will win. :smilewinkgrin:

    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:

    I think I know where Mark Webber's engineers went. But I'm looking forward to another Ferrari / Merc battle, but at the back of the grid this time.

    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.

    I appreciate that Hammy is having a challenging year, but his comment "another easy one for Nico" just rings of his poor sportsmanship this year. And he can spin it anyway he wants, but it stills sounds like a whiny little brat.

    Nico also said something that I'm sure didn't win him any fans in the paddock, when he was trying to say that he wished Hammy and him could have gone at it again during this race - like Lewis is the only one that can give him a race. It's as if he's completely dissing the rest of the field. Yes, he has good reason too, but still..........If I were Seb, Bottas, Ricky Racer or any number of other drivers, I'd be looking for a way to stick a knife in one of his tires mid-race.

    I wonder how many of the drivers have already hit their "fives"?

    I heard what Nico said. I'm pretty sure all the drivers wear big boy pants & can take it.

    Yes Lewis said Nico will have it easy & he will.

    I think way too much is read into what a driver says or if he's smiling for the cameras. For me it is all about the racing. If someone says something that bothers other's well BFD. It's a race, if some folks want it to be something else OK. I'll just watch the racing. :)

    Nico wasn't knocking the whole field, he was merely doing what Championship contenders have done since the beginning, he was giving his number one rival a poke to get in his head and see if it rattles.....

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