I'm agreed about HAM but it was only possible in a good car , that's why I said I would love to see Max in such a car .

Would be very interesting though to get Max into similar car to see how he would do, I'm sure in time we will find out!

Hamilton's Phase 2 of the start was superior to Nico's Phase 2 thereby giving HAM the preferred positioning into Turn One. Rosberg should have executed an Up and Under move. The design of Turn One at COTA actually rewards that maneuver and will place you in perfect position for the esses. Rosberg's race craft simply isn't up to snuff when compared to Hamilton's.

P.S. ROS lost the race when he was pressured into a mistake by a rapidly closing HAM. Again. Cheers-mk Last edited by MKSixer; 10-26-2015 at 04:54 PM.. |

Who gives a shit what happened on turn 1 of the FIRST LAP, Rosberg had the lead and lost it because of his own mistake.
And Wtf happen to the rest of the field in the last 10 laps. The top 3 just took off, 20+ seconds in 10 laps. lol Overall it was a very good race, congrats to Lewis and Mercedes.

I have done about 125 or so laps at COTA in an E63 M6 and I can tell you that looking at it on TV, looking at it from the stands and climbing the hill at 120+ are 3 entirely different experiences just as doing so in an F1 car is yet, another. For the latter 2 situations speed is the difference as the laws of physics (so far) are immutable. The car will definitely lose grip upon turning in (I remember shouting to my car, "Turn, Turn, Turn!!" almost each lap as the track was damp on one of my days. As I said earlier, Turn One seems almost designed for an up and under. COTA is one of Tilke's masterpieces. It is Technical AND Fast. My final comment is this...the sorriest driver in the F1 Circus, including reserve and test drivers, has chunks of drivers like us in the toilet after they take a dump. I did 2 laps with Robert Wickens at Hockenheimring a few years ago. In the rain. The spatial awareness, reflexes, and driving ability of a top talent is incomprehensible until you personally see it in action. And Robert Wickens is a pretty good DTM driver...not the best, based on results. Drivers like HAM, ALO, VET, ROS (yes, ROS), et. al. are driving gods. Period. End of Story. Cheers-mk |

Okay, so here's the deal: you can keep calling him Belgian, as long as we Dutch folks can get a few of your football players, call 'em Dutch and include them in Oranje.
Nothing fancy really, I was thinking of Kompany, de Bruyne and Courtois. Deal?

Probably he moved to Holland to avoid the insane Belgian taxes , that's what we heard over here and probably he's right but think for next year he needs to move to Monaco for the right deal . For this people of course it's all about financial specualation , and personal I would do the same thing because Belgium really sucks ! About our football players...I'm still not sure enough of them and they need to show it more and for a longer period like the Dutch were showing for the last 10 years because the Dutch were always better than the Belgians and a lot ! So let's say...." For the moment " they are top . And of course bro we have a deal even when other Belgians would have the shit about it

^Good grief!
There definitely wouldn't have been a race with that much rain! Edit* What the?!? I didn't even know there was a race today in Mexico, I thought it was next week! We never even had a Mexico race thread in this forum. Argh!! Last edited by NickyC; 11-01-2015 at 09:51 PM.. |
