Hi guys just wondering if anyone knows of any good sports channel links for the race this weekend . Will be watching on iPad via photon browser Cheers coyr
In this one I think Nico is just as likely to get pole, and therefore to win. Mercedes dominance is a problem, TBH. Vettel ought to be of interest with the mafiosi, but he looks off the pace (like everyone who's not Mercedes).
see if you can log onto NBCSports on line, race is live from midnight Saturday here so 4 am for you lot
I love Hamilton. Best driver since Senna who is like a god to me in terms of sportsmen. I see his rivalry with Nico very much like I saw Ayrton's and Prost's. It's exciting in my opinion. And whilst I would prefer Ferrari, Williams and McLaren to be just as competitive as they once were, and for race wins to be shared around all over the shop, it's F1 and never works like that. I've lived through two McLaren dominances, Williams dominance, Benneton, Ferrari and of course Red Bull recently. One team always seems to be better than the rest. I expect a similar season to the last one. I don't think Rosberg is good enough to beat Lewis over 20 races, unless Lewis has even more bad luck than he did last year. I'd have loved Alonso to come to Mercedes, he and Lewis are clearly the best drivers, with Button and Kimi not far behind. Nico needs to win this opener. Looking forward to it.
On last year's performance kimi is nowhere near the top driver. Ricciardo is the next best after Hamilton and Alonso, I'd put him on a par with Rosberg.
I see him as a better driver than Ricciardo who has impressed me though. Be interesting to see how Vettel gets on too. Both he and Kimi were poor last year. Big reputations to repair. I think Massa showed up well n all.
Big year for the Force India duo of Hulkenberg and Perez, I think both deserve to be in a better car but they need to prove it.
Aye forgot about Massa. Hamilton = Alonso > Ricciardo = Rosberg = Massa > Vettel = Kimi = Button. I think RIC has the potential to be right at the top though. Some of his overtaking is different class.
i think Riccardo is the real deal. Made Vettel look decidedly average last season in the same car. I would love to see him in the same team as Lewis or Fernando. Unfortunately this season though will be a Mercedes procession again. The interesting race will be for 3rd Place
I don't think he will get a licence in time after sauber illegally revoked his and then deliberately delayed a new application till it was too late
Van Der Garde has withdrawn legal action after he and Sauber reached a deal overnight. Not driving this weekend. No other details released as yet.
Very disappointing Renault spent the close season spouting that they had made significant gains with their engines, blah, blah, blah. Their highest qualifier (Ricciardo) finished two seconds off the pace. Two seconds. That's almost like they're in different formulas. As for McLaren, it goes from bad to worse each season.
Re: Very disappointing What an awful qualifying session that was. No excitement at all. And the cars look awful too. Its like looking at a Barnsley kit made by red flag. McLaren with no sponsorship at all. Lidl own brand. Sauber with none. Aldi own brand. Manor in the garage with none. Tesco value. F1 is in a right mess at the moment with so many teams just there to make up the numbers. How the hell can you be on TV for two hours every two weeks with a global audience of around half a billion a year and be unable to get a sponsor?
