well done ricciardo

 

1. Ricciardo = well deserved win

2. Alonso = superb driving, 1st podium for ferrari in this season?

3. Hamilton = hungry enough to defy team order, nothing better than this in view start from pitlane

4. Rosberg = due to the 1st safety car he lost several positions

what a nail biting finish!! Well done Ric!

Alonso final up the podium!!

 

1 month of cold turkey treatment without F1.......

[Wt_know]

alonso with tyres losing all grip still able to defend position 2

should be 2nd podium, but 1st time 2nd... Hahaha (in this season) Edited July 27, 2014 by Kingkong

In the V8 era Renault has the upper hand and would be at a disadvantage with circuit that needs lesser power. Now its vice versa.

[Wt_know]

rosberg's team should have called in rosberg 2 laps earlier to change tyre

so that he got enough laps to challenge the top 3

only left with the last 2 laps to overtake ... the chances are slim

 

hamilton did the right thing for himself

if he left rosberg pass ... he will not go up podium ... hehe

Think Hamilton forgot Malaysia Gp last year or the year b4 where rosberg was told not to pass him? If he had let rosberg go, merc could have won the race instead of 3rd.

[Ddqwerty]

I'm no fan of Hamilton, so I don't wanna give biased comments.. hehe.

 

but its true that he shouldn't give up position if rosberg was so far back, why rosberg was so slow? anyone know? he could've easily caught up to ham imo, is it he wanna avoid the turbulent hot backsite of ham? but last lap the move ham made to prevent rosberg from overtaking him like ricciardo did was way out of hand (I am biased).. haha

 

anyways merc team too greedy, want more points, hence the team orders, end up probably spilled bad blood between its 2 drivers

[Wt_know]

rosberg brake overheat, slowing him down

then tyre runout losing grip and not able to chase hamilton

team order to let rosberg pass so that he can go to pitlane to change tyre

on hindsight, he should have gone in 3 laps earlier to get more time to chase at the end when his tyres are fresher with better grip

instead of waiting for hamilton to let him pass, might as well go earlier lose a few seconds and attack with better tyres (gain 3secs per lap)

I thought team orders were strictly disallowed in F1 so how come Mercedes could do it so openly over the radio n get away with it? Hamilton not obeying is besides the point n to be fair he was right as Rosberg too far back!

[Wt_know]

team order is allowed liao because team use coded message like ... save tyre, save fuel, nico is faster, blah blah blah

what is the point of disallowing team order in fact order is made right infront of the steward face ... sibei sia sui

 

team issue order because they want rosberg = no 1 and hamilton hammertime to no = 3 (2 if miracle)

as team of course they want 2 driver on the podium or at least rosberg on the podium for 1st

 

rosberg bad luck because he passed the pitlane when the first safety car was deployed

 

anyway, it's exciting to have several drivers close enough to chase for the championship ...

now with last race double points 50pts > 36pts > 30pts ... it would be super exciting

no champion is crown until the last race if the lead is not >50pts ... hehe

I also find most races this season have been exciting to watch, including close fights through the fields on the day, not just fights for championship.

 

Which particular new rules this season make this possible? Or it's just coincidental?

You've been away in a place without F1 news for too long...

Frankly, the team no need so mafan to give the order, just send a system reset signal to ham's car, and automatically it'll let ros pass....

 

This was not done before, but i'll love to see it once...

This will tell the drivers who's the boss.
