Formula 1 anybody? [SPOILERS....well maybe?]

jaggysnake57

So on an old forum i used to frequent (poker not tech) there is/was a thread for formula 1 where we would talk about....well F1 just wondered how many people watch and if we can get a nice little community going

 

With that in mind......OMFG what a freaking race just, start to finish action im loving the new era of F1. shame about hamalton but dems the breaks! (see what i did there) i do feel that he is better than rosberg but he just never seams to have the look.  IMO rosberg should have had the penalty by a mile and go very lucky. and massa. WOW boy when you crash, you really crash!

i stopped watching when they started limiting fuel. i mean is this eco rally or what, limiting fuel in a race so everyone stops trying to overtake after a while.

Yea big F1 fan here  :).

The Perez-Massa crash was quite a shame. But this race was surely one of the most exiting ones of the season.

really should have updated this more but whoops

so this season has been really good until the last race. Rosbergs WTF. the thing is hamiltons title is over and its not been through any fault of his own. and seriously a 6 figure fine for a driver who earns millions a year and will take the title because of it, is not harsh enough. hamilton is the better driver and its a shame that his rival has to cheat to get what he wants. for me last weekend was a sad day for F1

My Dad's a huge fan. It was always too late for me to watch when I was younger. I never really got into it but it looks like fun to watch when you understand whats happening.

I enjoyed it more when they were still using v12's and v10's. Now that v8's are gone, it just doesn't have the same appeal. At least to me.

 

Also, @jaggysnake57

 

Would that poker forum be 2p2 by any chance? :P

It's great seeing Nico and Lewis battles resulting in crashes which then gives Daniel the opportunity to capitalise. Dan is the man, repping Australia

No, I don't think he can win the championship this year, chances are very slim.

It will be either Rosberg or Hamilton, if Hamilton doesn't have any reliability issues and is at the top of his game, he can definitely catch up and surpass Nico.

I think the WDC will be decided on the last race with double points up for grabs.

Ric is having a really good season tho, definitely driver of the year for me.
