F1 Official Thread - Grand Prix of Britain

Such great banter nowadays...

Man, the media is blowing this "come on guys" message way out of proportion.  These guys are in high-pressure situations... Nico missed pole by 4/100ths, which is pretty much nothing... so naturally, you'd expect anyone to be frustrated.   Same goes for Lewis... it's not like we've never heard him vent his frustration.  

Anyway... shame about McLaren missing out Q2 by 6/100ths... they're getting there.  Hope they can finish.

I missed it. What did Nico do?

Also, Ferrari's long pace are good but I still think mercedes pace is a little better but will their pace offset Ferrari's tyre saving? Should be a good race.

Finally

@bbcf1
Hamilton’s 5th #ChineseGP pole puts him with Senna, Schumacher & Fangio as only drivers with 5+ poles at a single track

Right after Nico was informed that he missed pole by 4/100ths of a second, he said "Oh come on guys!" over the radio.  Some people were saying that he was blaming his team, but I don't buy it... cuz it's just ridiculous and he's smarter than that.  I felt he was just venting... but of course, the media is running off with this. 

EDIT ~ 

AH!  So apparently, he rant was cuz his team rushed him on his warm-up lap!  But added that it wouldn't have made a difference to his lap time! LOL.



And for you Carmen Jorda fiends.

This says it all. I don't think Nico has any ground to be honest and he looks like he's cracking.

Pastor is forever a joke

Nice to see that the hostilities between the two have resumed :lol:,it makes for a much more interesting season.
 
Haha, everyone assumed that it was Pastor's fault, but not this time!  Fair play to Jenson... he admitted that it was his fault!

As for Nico... I see what he was saying though.  The logical tactic, for any driver, would be to back the guy behind you so that the guy behind him can attack.  It's better to have someone chasing the guy chasing you!  Having said that, Nico needs to shut his trap and get his act together.  He's a better driver than this, but his confidence is withering... and this little outburst is just playing into Lewis' hands.

 Just look at Seb...

 
I think Ferrari showed good long run pace on Friday and after been beating because of Tyre deg in Malaysia, Lewis was well within his right to manage his tyres.

Seb's face :lol:
 
Ferrari's 3rd stint on the Primes just didn't work... they kept falling back and wasn't able to do much.  Kimi had a shot at Seb, I think, but like he said... ran out of laps.  

It'll be interesting to see if they can steal Monaco.  
 
Nico :lol:

Those dumbass marshalls at the end :rofl: :rofl: :stoneface:

I wanted to see that Last Lap with everyone packed in.
 
Very disappointing stuff from Nico, but on the flipside, Ferrari making things very interesting.  Looks like their racepace is pretty decent too.  Could give Lewis a run for his money. The only positive for Nico is that perhaps he'll be on the cleaner side of the track?  Maybe he'll pick Seb off at the start and close in on Lewis?  Unlikely, but who knows.

Alonso in P14!  Yes!  [emoji]128517[/emoji]

Business as usual for Hamilton.

Loved the sparks, really added to the show, especially in turn 1 for overtakes.

Kimi was good this race and so was Rosberg.

Loved seeing Alonso overtaking Kimi. Mclaren making good progress.

One to forget for Vettel

I wouldn't go that far for Lewis.  He also had brake issues, similar, if not the same, as Nico's.  Had there been a few more laps, I think Kimi could have had him.  He was also lucky Nico & Seb didn't take him out at T1 after that pitstop!  That was close!

But it was a good rebound performance by Nico... super aggressive, some might even call rude, overtaking!

  Gotta be ruthless! 
 
He said on BBC he reset his brakes and they started working again but he took it easy till the end but yea that was never racking at the end.

And yea Merc had some slow pit stops too. I was surprised when he came out and they were right next to him with sparks flying everywhere :lol:
