Formula One 2014

Yeah Hamilton is getting very arrogant again so anybody but him to win World Title. Hope Vettel gets some form back.

[spiritualize]

really was hoping raikkonen would be up at the top this season

[Meursault]

hamilton comes across as prick esp over the last 2-3 years so rosberg all the way for me.

I think Hamilton expects to have it all his own way. You have to work for things in life, nobody hands it to you on a plate.

That Lewis Hamilton has raw talent cannot be disputed.
However, sometimes he behaves like a brat, more suited to handbrake turning a souped up Vauxhall Astra in a Tesco car-park, not a Formula One racer.

i agree with you, but i think F1 is very hard to judge talent. For me its the engineers who win the stuff with their designs. alonso for me is still the most skilled driver. vettel as well. Hamilton is alright, but nothing special.

One thing that irks me about hamilton is he blames everything and everyone for his failings bar himself. If its not the tyre's, its the car, if not the car the weather.

Great showing by both Williams cars. Traditionally, attrition is high at this track so it could be interesting

Canadian Grand Prix due to start in just over an hour.

Should be a good race. Nico Rosberg is on pole. But he has never done well on this circuit, while Lewis Hamilton is the most successful driver on this circuit since Michael Schumacher.

There is less than four hundredths of a second between Sebastian Vettel, Valtteri Bottas, Felipe Massa, and Daniel Ricciardo. Could be a lot of action here.
Might not have to wait long for it either, because the first corner could be interesting.


Probably two races within a race. The race between Hamilton and Rosberg.
Then the race between Vettel, Bottas, Massa and Ricciardo. And even though the Ferraris have been disappointing this weekend, Alonso cannot be excluded in the race for “the best of the rest”.

And of course we have the ‘wall of champions’ on the outside of Turn 14.
Pastor Maldonado may not be a champion, but I think the wall has his name on it.
If he misses the wall, he is certain to hit something.

"In a head to head, I always believe Lewis will come out ahead," David Coulthard.
"Lewis has a disadvantage when it comes to mental control." Eddie Jordan

I think the above two quotes sums it up.
