Headlines away from the track: F1

I agree Indy. The master of the double speak, Ecclestone says on one day there is a race, the next day, no. "I am leaving F-1 and don't want any further control; ya' know, maybe I changed my mind." Worse than a pre-menstrual woman.

Oh; joy. - Another GP in the middle of nowhere... :rollseyes:

Azerbaijan to host 'European' GP starting in 2016

 

[Retroram52]

Well, if F-1 wants to expand, why don't they add another race in America? Azerbaijan? Seriously?

While I don't seriously think that it's going to be his year, I would still love to see Daniel make an actual horse race of the WDC hunt.

Does Ricciardo have an outside chance?

 

[Retroram52]

With the battles between Rosberg and Hamilton continuing nearly every race, Ricciardo has quietly become pretty competitive. if the aforementioned two don't get their heads out of their backsides and quit their girlie squabbling, Ricciardo has the time and races to catch one or both.

He is a breath of fresh air and a true racer.

Love him squashing Vettel.

Disney doesn't belong anywhere near racing especially now that gays have taken over the business. They should stick to involvement in Hollowood where their business and corporate karma are a better fit.

Hamilton complains that the current tech regs. make F1 "too easy" for the drivers:

While it was not directely said, it certainly is meant to be implied that this main reason why Rosberg is having such a good season.

 

[Retroram52]

Hamilton has turned into a whiney little girl. The wussie Brit should shut is piehole and drive. Perhaps he might catch his teammate who is just better than him.

Rosberg apologizes, receives 'suitable disciplinary action' for contact with Hamilton at Spa.

To me, this is BS: Nico did everything that he could to give Lewis room. It's not his fault if Lewis wasn't checking his mirrors!

 

[Retroram52]

Ah geez, this Hamilton dude has really turned to a complete wussie. Shut-up drive ya' freakin' little weenie!!

No; it will be McLaren as the sole Honda powered squad in '15.
