Rosberg penalised for illegal transmission, demoted to third place

Lewis Hamilton wins fourth British Grand Prix of his career

 

[Lazarus]

Yup.

Lewis has finally learnt to thrive on adversity and pressure, but Rosberg only performs well when all is cushti.

What galls me is that the other week the team left Hamilton in the wrong mode and would not break the rules to get his car performing correctly, just left him to it, so I do not see the difference between the two incidents, but it clearly shows the bias the management team has against Hamilton as they were not prepared to flaunt the rules then, rules which they clearly breached today.

There has always been a curious dichotomy between the hard-nosed revenue earning Team Championship and the more romantic derring-do of the Drivers' Championship, but it all adds to the overall entertainment. Poor Totto (sic) appears perennially resigned to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Mind you, Emma Bunton looked fit, though but!

I think the difference was that the other week both Rosberg and Hamilton were in the wrong mode, but Rosberg managed to sort it out, Hamilton did not. But the team could not help them as it was not a potential failure of the car...just the wrong mode. This time the gearbox was failing so they could help him...to an extent. They could tell him how to solve one problem, but they got penalised by saying how he had to miss gear seven..ie double shift past it...a firmative.

To be honest, it was one of the most boring British GPs there has been... mainly spoilt by the safety car start...

Mind you, Emma Bunton looked fit, though but!

Hmmmmmm

Mercedes, perhaps inevitably, are Appealing the issue.

 

[Lazarus]

And now they're not

Nico Rosberg: Mercedes withdraw appeal after British Grand Prix

Professorial intelligence does not equate to mental strength.

Hungary & Germany have been dire races in the extreme. The best excitement was the chaos in Q1 at Hungaroring.

We now have a 4 week mid season break so consider your teams & how you want to change them for the second halfof the season

 

[woborny]

Best thing about F1 this season... Ant Davidson and his analysis on the "skypad".
Pretty much everything else this season is quite dire.....messing with the rules, inconsistent penalties, unhappy drivers, halo debacle...

 

[Lazarus]

Really?

I find all that stuff to be an integral part of the show!

Followed F1 for over fifty years and rarely a dull moment.

For anyone with a basic sky uk subscription the Belgium F1 qualifying will be on the new Sky Sports Mix (SD - epg 407)

If you have the HD pack see if its on 472

Crazy Race so far .......!

Indeed. Scary to see the head restraint come off as Magnussen demolished the car

 

[Lazarus]

Apparently it came off as the result of the sudden and violent impact of the helmet.

 

[Lazarus]

Gotta love Verstappen ..... he just doesn't give a flying fcuk!
