Platy 6 Posted November 9, 2014 Rosberg leads to just after the first pit stop, Hamilton overtakes into turn 1 and that's that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SASBlink 1 Posted November 9, 2014 I like the way the brazilians call their corners, we call this one "curva 1 and this curva 2", "oh and we will call this one curva 3" :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hughesy 254 Posted November 9, 2014 I have a feeling something will go wrong for Lewis today :# He's never been awesome at this track, I hope that changes today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SASBlink 1 Posted November 9, 2014 thats what i was pointing at, most corners have names but these ones dont. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted November 9, 2014 Haha sweet! I went to the toilet and Hamilton was 2.4 behind, come back and he's 1 second behind :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platy 6 Posted November 9, 2014 Do Williams sit down before a race weekend and come up with new ideas of how to ruin their races? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadwick8505 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Lewis definitely could have taken the lead with that stop had he not lost the car on that lap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted November 9, 2014 If Hamilton cut Rosbergs rear with his front wing in an attempt to overtake, I'd be VERY happy ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted November 9, 2014 Well, without that mistake that would have been Hamiltons race. He may not have passed him on circuit, but he was still faster in the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VetteIfan 0 Posted November 9, 2014 So, Nico has led/won every session of the weekend. FP1, FP2, FP3, Q1, Q2, Q3 and the race. Can't take it away from him, he deserved that one. Not that it really makes too much difference in the title race however. He's still gonna have to hope something goes wrong for Lewis in Abu Dhabi, otherwise it should be easy for Lewis to cruise home 2nd. At least today he's ensured anywhere below 2nd for Lewis wouldn't do it for him so there's a little bit of pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hughesy 254 Posted November 9, 2014 That wasn't the most exciting races I've seen at Brazil... Now just for the silly double points race. Button shows he should be at McLaren next season, Ron if you get rid of him I hope your Honda engine is crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenColt 1 Posted November 9, 2014 Anything can happen for Lewis, SC at the wrong time, wrong strategy, mistake and that "easy" P2 is out of reach. These next two weeks will cost me 5 years of my lifetime. I should've started smoking instead of supporting Hamilton, would've been more healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And don't forget it's very hard to pass at Abu Dhabi , so if he finds a couple of cars between him and Rosberg then he might be stuck there for the whole race.

Try Brazil 2012 :p Nah, realistically all of the situations you mention Lewis has the ability to come back from because of how dominant the Mercedes is. Abu Dhabi is actually a very easy track to overtake on with DRS, so the only thing that could stop him is a car gremlin really. Anyway, back to today, interesting fact of the day - today Vettel was officially beaten by Ricciardo this season, meaning Bottas is now the only multi-year driver who's never been beaten by a teammate.

JensonBottom 1 Posted November 9, 2014 Mclaren must be one of the worst teams when it comes to strategy decisions. They could of easily got Button in front of Massa but then they decided to wait 2 laps which cost him at least a shot at the podium. :neutral_face: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it better be one with Hamilton only, so you can't semi-cheat your way out of it by including another driver (preferably Vettel). :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
