Re: Formula 1 2016 Thread
Vettel at least made the end of the race entertaining.
Hamilton can really only hope for rain, and they do have Brazil to come which is notorious for changing conditions so all is not lost. Rosberg is absolutely crap in the wet, he could easily be challenged by the Red Bulls or Ferrari in this situation.

Vettel is being investigated by the Politburo over his incorrect radio procedure.
Ross Brawn has, according to Auto Bild Motorsport, signed a contract to replace Bernie as F1 boss.

No punishment for Vettel and his potty mouth
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel will not be punished for his expletive-laden outburst at the Mexican Grand Prix.
Jean Todt, president of Formula 1's governing body the FIA, decided "on an exceptional basis" not to take disciplinary action against the German.
But he warned Vettel would be punished should a similar incident occur again.
Incensed by the driving of Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Vettel lashed out at FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting using a series of four-letter words.
Vettel had written letters of apology to the FIA on Monday and went to see Whiting after the race to apologise.
In a statement, the FIA said it condemned the use of offensive language, especially when directed at officials and fellow participants.
The governing body added it expected all participants to be "respectful and mindful" of the example they set the public and the younger generation.

Hamilton has been flawless since Malaysia and had he not been let down there, would win the championship
Hoping for a Rosberg DNR to even the score up a bit.
Anything can happen.

Re: Formula 1 2016 Thread
Don't bank on a Lewis win if it rains. With his erratic driving, rain could be his downfall. Nico may only need to finish in the top 5 to win the title if Lewis has a DNF.RyanWHUFC wrote:Praying for rain, got my rain dance on. If it rains Lewis for the title, today could be the day Nico slips up

Grosjean crashed on the formation lap. Predict a safety car start, which won't be ideal.
