Quozl Posted 31March, 2014 Report Share Posted 31March, 2014 Cause they don't care about the second driver, its Seb's team and always will be while Marko (The Sith Lord) is there running things in the background. You have to watch the skysports F1 HD feed to get all the detail, One HD coverage is woeful to say the least. Drop round for the next race and see what a decent feed is like with no commercials :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 31March, 2014 Report Share Posted 31March, 2014 how do they keep getting it wrong for Daniel/Mark but Seb's wheel never comes off? Maybe AUS needs to invade a few neighbours and cleanse some of their populations to be taken seriously. Nobody wants to upset the deutschlanders.

BAFE Posted 24August, 2014 Report Share Posted 24August, 2014 as one of the commentators said. he managed to get past Seb (due to an error Seb made) but he then extended his lead by 15 seconds and at the same time made his tyres last longer... is the kid any good?

tk111 Posted 24August, 2014 Report Share Posted 24August, 2014 How good is he! And how about Lewis' sulk, whatever happened to the "that's racing" attitude. Go Dan go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 24August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 24August, 2014 Seb made a couple of unusual (for him) mistakes, and kept the pack of DR for a while. Lewis, disappointing attitude. Nico, great effort in the circumstances. Booing was out of line...bit reminiscent of a certain Bathurst victory which was also out of line. But DR .....What a refreshing driver with great attitude and respect. There wouldn't be an F1 team that wouldn't want him. Great that he also acknowledged the Aussie flags flying for him from the podium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiny Posted 25August, 2014 Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 A great win which will give him confidence into Monza. Ricciardo is a great guy, living the dream whose a fantastic ambassador for AU. Disappointed about the grief Nico is getting. It was a clumsy mistake, non-intentional. Hamilton spits the dummy when things don't go his way.

Chris-p Posted 25August, 2014 Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 What a race. DR is so great for the sport. Hope he keeps chipping away and the Merc guys keep bashing each other up. Could be very interesting last race for double points. Hamilton is a sook. Nico did make a mistake still I think he is pretty straight up. Always liked his dads no nonsense approach which I think he has inherited. I cannot feel sorry for Hamilton..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 25August, 2014 Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 Hamilton needs to spend more time on his racing lines and less time on his boo-boo lines. It wasn't intentional, it was just clumsy. A few inches further back and Rosberg could have had no wing and Hamilton scoots off for an easy win. I don't know what has happened to Vettel. He had a new baby early this year. Fatherhood and 4 straight championships = losing the hunger a bit I would say. It would appear that webber was definitely losing the ability to challenge as he wound down and Vettel has been caught napping by Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 25August, 2014 Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 If rb get their engine sorted Dan will be a future world champ. How he kept those tyres going was amazing. It was interesting to hear him talking to Adrian after the race and his car was having issues with hydraulics. I agree booing Rosberg was a little harsh. They should be booing Hamilton for being a sook. 5 laps left and he throws it in, pfftt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 25August, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 Plus.... I liked the DR actually started the conversation (or tried to start a conversation) with both ROSBERG and BOTTAS in the room straight after, and just before his conversation with Adrian. He's just a genuine good bloke and not a prima donna. BOTTAS doesn't seem like a bad bloke either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 25August, 2014 Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 Hamilton is a grade A d**khead, really don't like the guy. But that said he had a point about retiring. Hes got 1 less engine than Rosberg, and given they knew he wouldn't place they should have let him retire on lap 20 when he first asked. Something about sponsorship dollars and driving the 'billboard' around the track was behind that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 25August, 2014 Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 I look forward to Spa more than every other race each season. It was bloody great to see Dan walk away from Seb then made my weekend to see him win the race. Very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is you can't throw all your toys out of the cot just because you're not going to get a ribbon. If the car is functioning then you have to stay out there and race. There's still a chance they will find themselves in the poo for retiring the car early, the commentators at the time suggested that the team were looking for a reason to retire the car and preserve the engine.

Coastr Posted 25August, 2014 Report Share Posted 25August, 2014 It's true that you can't just pull out and claim the benefits of new gearbox etc. you have to have a reason. Hence the radio message of 'we have data from the aero that something is wrong'. I doubt anyone will protest but they could easily find themselves in trouble.
