Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2016

I'm amazed at the turn of fortunes between the Merc drivers. Nico has gone from being the class of the field to having car issues every weekend(and also his car getting destroyed in Spain). It just shows that you can drive your ears off but if luck isn't on your side you'll be forgotten in history...

Yep change of fortune that's for sure. He won't be happy about the turn one incident.

Also love how talking about the turn one incident is anti Lewis bias. If it were anyone else we would be having the same conversation.

That would mean weaker/overheated brakes, less lock up, no ?

Yes to the first, no to the second... you push the pedal until you have the braking you need. If the car simply isn't stopping then it's failure time.

Rosberg showing that he should be leading this race with that fastest lap but who am I to speak against the cult of Hamilton.

There is nothing positive to come out of this. Just gotta hope someone puts Hamilton in his place next weekend

If so then why didn't you address @Samus post?

Only reason for his fastest lap is he's on relatively new tyres with low fuel load.

Rubbered in track on newer tires than the top two drivers, plus end race conditions that doesn't prove anything other than that. No doubt Nico was one of the fastest drivers this weekend but doesn't prove he was robbed.

Looks like that putting Max on US for his last stind wasn't the greatest choice.

 

[Clark]

All Ferrari needed to was match Hamilton's strategy as they had track position. :|

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Rosberg vs Max, nice going there

 

[TenEightyOne]

Verstappen = Hamilton. I'm appalled, simply appalled. Stewards!

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Great defensive driving from Verstappen

 

[05XR8]

Should Verstappen get a penalty for that?

 

[FT-1]

I wonder if anyone will criticize Verstappen for not leaving Rosberg any room at turn one...

 

[Stotty]

Notice Rosberg pulled out of the outside overtake on Verstapen in turn 1/2.

 

[Dennisch]

Max is going to annoy Nico just like he did to Kimi in Barcelona.

Edit.

Rosberg is overcooking his tyres.

Yet we're chatting now, sorry I dont offer you a date and a movie prior to embarking on a debate with you and others. I'm not at all angry, why would I be, it's the same people as usual from GP thread to GP thread complaining about the same things. Being angry would be silly because nothing is going to change them from being bias toward Hamilton. I find them to be the angry ones because their wishes weren't fulfilled.

Funny guy/girl, aren't we?
Something lead you to make that comment and I don't think it was being bored or being in such a happy mood.

Also love how talking about the turn one incident is anti Lewis bias. If it were anyone else we would be having the same conversation.

To be fair, people were more talking about the stewards favouring Hamilton as about the incident itself.

Why the heck did Ferrari pit so early, they basically had the race at the start...

I think they expected a real safety car instead of just the virtual one.

 

[sems4arsenal]

If so then why didn't you address @Samus post?

If it was the other way around it would still be a dirty move.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Classic Kimi radio message

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I assume all of those up in arms about Hamilton were saying the same when Rosberg did the exact same thing to Hamilton two years ago?

Find me an example of somebody doing it to Hamilton for every time Hamilton has done it to someone else, and then we can talk.

That isn't how it works though... there's no quid-pro-quo aggregate system.

 

[Stotty]

Rosberg

 

[05XR8]

Done. Rosberg is done.

 

[Vinylshark]

Today really wasn't Rosbergs race.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Rosberg, tut tut tut.

 

[Dennisch]

Ahahahahaha Rosberg! What a dunce. Hahahahaha

 

[sems4arsenal]

Lucky Nico there

Wow I'm not surprised seeing this from you. Once again the Ricc incident was explained already and even the drivers seemed to have no issue after the fact. Lewis gave him room there is video of it and pictures showing this, Ricc was on the wet part of the track had no traction and loss the back end. Wasn't pushed. Same here, there was no room both drivers are fighting for the same real estate, Lewis had the position though.

Yeah, no issue at all. That's why Ricc not even looked at Lewis during the entire podium celebration/interview. Of course they have to move on as they always do.

I don't have the same opinion about the "explanation". First, I don't think Lewis didn't leave a 1car width. I am of the opinion that he cut the chicane, blocking Ricc a first time and then, on the way out, he went out of the normal racing line (you can see it clearly because he's not completely inside the dry part of the circuit) to make a second move while Ricc had already his front axis besides Lewis's rear axis. I read the stewards report. It happens I don't agree with their decision (which is rare btw).

He had the position? What position? lol They were side by side and Lewis just pushed Rosberg out of the track. For him to "have the position" he would have to be in front of Rosberg. Lewis should have done what every other driver did in that corner. Leave a car width and fight for the position IN the track, after the right-hander.

But yeah, I'm not surprised seeing this from you either.

GTP is very pro-Lewis (which is understandable being an english only platform). I'm more pro-F1. And I'm not replying again. I'll leave the thread free for you all.
