F1 2015: All Chat Here

Lol, some rewriting of history there @mrloaf

Yes, Nico did have a couple of failures towards then end, but they were pretty much the only ones he had. Whereas Lewis was plagued by reliability issues throughout the year. So in reality Lewis managed to win despite all the failures, and Nico managed to lose despite a much more reliable car over the season. Never mind Monaco, Spa, etc.

Only one way to flog that horse, lol

Nico is the number two driver at Mercedes, always will be.

Nico has it all to do next year indeed, some light reading for you below, I still believe Rosberg lost out when it mattered compared to Lewis with reliability on race day

Hamilton vs Rosberg: Did unreliability decide title? - F1 Fanatic

 

[adam1942]

I don't think it did.. two of the 4 race failures Rosberg had where on the last two races the other two he still finished the races.. where as the two failures (out of three issues) that Hamilton had where near the first half of the grand prix calendar year.

What I'm saying is by the end of the year the title had already been decided had it not ? so the two failures where not important

**Sneeky Edit**

2014 Driver Standings

This also suggests Rosberg was 67 points back by the end of the season the best he could have hoped in the final two races for was 50 points at this stage if he came first/second.. with Hamilton getting 36 if he came second in both races. that would have meant Rosberg would have been on 329 and Hamilton on 362... I think

 

[adam1942]

Did 2014 have that stupid double points in the last race??

 

[weeloaney]

Yep it did, one year and it was scrapped haha

 

[adam1942]

in that case ignore my previous post as its all horse ****

 

[svensktoppen]

Still right @adam1942, just that Nico would have needed a DNF from Lewis and also a win in the last race (with the double points). Pretty emphatic in other words from Lewis, considering all the other **** going on last year.

Anyway, all history now.

Its was Rosberg 317 to Hamilton 334 going into the last race, Rosberg would have needed just 18 points in Abu Dhabi to win if Hamilton DNF, coincidentally Rosberg would have been 1 point ahead of Hamilton going into the finale if he had of finished the race in his qualifying position in Singapore. In that scenario Hamilton would have probably won but i would have loved to have seen that race decide the title, both drivers absolutely going for it in an all or nothing affair

Not on topic or anything but something I seen on YouTube shows the drivers in a less serious mood

 

[weeloaney]

Laughed a Jenson in the last clip haha.

There one going about of vettel trolling the merc drivers this year.

On that note.

And had Hamilton of finished in his grid position in Melbourne he then would if been 24 points ahead. Can't talk like that it is what it is unreliability sucks whenever it happens.

[DEEJAY.B]

Very good lol ,

 

[svensktoppen]

Lol, very good all of them

The Mercs will finish in the order they make it through the first bend. Then Vettel. Only question is if Bottas will make it past Kimi without either or both of them ending up in the barriers

 

[weeloaney]

Well this is boring

 

[simy]

Martin Brundle's unpleasant interview technique, he's obviously not a Nico fan.

 

[adam1942]

^--- was hard to watch .. then again so was the whole race.

 

[svensktoppen]

Zzzzzzzz.......

A hung-over Lewis, Nico "racing" when the train left long ago, Bottas and Vettel making up the numbers

In fairness Nico did a great job, should have done that before though.

Wtf was Vettel at yesterday l? P16 ffs

 

[Mark King]

Wtf was Vettel at yesterday l? P16 ffs

Confusion with his engineer.

 

[svensktoppen]

Yes, some sort of mix-up and getting the timing for the run wrong...

This race is just a glorified testing session any way, everything is already done and dusted. Only Nico seems to think it somehow matters
