Can't wait to hear what Horner has to say about Sepang.
''We are slow because of the engine'' and yet, TR beats them with same engine.

I'm shocked at how many Ferrari bandwagon jumpers actually think they are going to see that finger again this year. Granted it was a great drive to make a 2 stop work in that heat, but honestly it was a gift from Mercedes poor strategy.
I'm not convinced that Lewis could have caught Seb on the mediums but they definitely should have tried that instead of the hard at the end.
But the real benefit of this result is that it makes RBR and Horner/Marko look like even bigger asses, so it's all good.

i thought lewis had complained the tires were already gone by 1st pit?Originally posted by rage2
Mercedes fucked up strategy. Why did they pit so early? Turned it off right at the end so I don't have to see that fucking finger.
A gift from Mercedes forsure, but you cannot argue with the pace, if we are lucky the season will produce some great battles between those 2 teams. Because, well, Mercedes is not perfect, next mistake they make Ferrari will be right there to capitalize on itOriginally posted by phreezee

Max, wow, for a 17 year old kid the results are extremely impressive. He will make mistakes this season, and he will learn from them. Keep a sharp eye on this kid, he is destined for a podium finish, maybe even this year.

The Kimi vs Lewis side by side lap comparison BBC did, showed the Ferrari actually had the pace advantage in the straights which was eye opening and undeniable. But the trade off was the extra downforce the Mercedes had, gave them a big advantage in the corners. Ironically the faster corners probably contributed to their higher tire degradation.Originally posted by MGCM

Nico didn't know the plan, so he sat with us to figure things out.

Can we start a petition to end Eddie Jordan's post-race podium interviewer status? Why do they keep brining him back?

I'd sign it, he was so quick to jump back on Vettel's dick.

I skipped the podium interview. Was it that bad?
I really enjoyed Arnold's interview last race. I mean, if I wanted to hear about strategy and stuff, I'd watch the indoor post race interview. The podium interview should be light and funny.

Just typical Eddie Jordan. Really annoying.Originally posted by rage2

Agreed. It was hilarious how star struck Lewis was. And you could tell Arnold wanted to get into the physicality of the training required for an F1 racer. He kept it fresh and non-political.

Arnold was a better interviewer than many of the retired drivers, like Andretti for example (who has been terrible every year at Texas IMO).

You should check out Nelson Piquet's interviewing skills from last year. Creepy questions to Lewis about Nicole lol.

BTW, regarding tires.
Was Lewis's problem due to them using up an extra set of mediums during qualy when they didn't really NEED to, and then during the race his team was left with the choice of only a used set of mediums vs. a fresh set of hards?
Registered User
^Yep, Mercedes made the conscious decision to save the extra set of primes in qualifying to use for the race, thinking option/prime/prime/prime was the best strategy.
I was surprised to hear Lewis complain about getting the hards on his last stop, you'd think he'd remember what they committed themselves to. It must have been a heat of the moment thing...
