More conspiracy nonsense. If you’re trying to claim Lauda favored Rosberg over Hamilton, the man he personally brought to the team, you need to put down what you’re smoking. Hamilton was given a MASSIVE new contract. So of course Mercedes would sabotage him to give a WDC to Rosberg...?

The problem is Bottas really leaves a lot to be desired right now. As things at the top get tighter (assuming they do), you need the best possible combo in the cars. All it takes is one look at Ferrari and you see how having (and still keeping) Kimi in that #2 seat ruined any chance they had at winning the…

Hamilton was supposed to wipe the floor with Rosberg when he joined Merc. He didn’t. Still up for debate whether that’s more of a plus for Rosberg or a negative for Hamilton.

Conspiracy nonsense. Hamilton was no angel and he publicly blamed the team anytime something didn’t go his way. The drivers were warned there would be a shake up with the team if certain drivers felt they were above the team. He didn’t take the hint, the support staff was shuffled.

Lawyers...way back when I was doing intern work for a consulting firm in the District, we had a major law firm as a client. This law firm had interns whose sole job was to go through the partners computers and erase the built up cache of porn.

Quite the bet considering nothing about the PU has worked properly since day one. But hey Hasegawa claimed they’d be on par with Merc this year, so no reason not to keep up that optimism.

Not much FIA can do here. This just makes it easier to understand where people start on the grid. Ferrari rejected a suggestion to increase the engine limit for next year, so that’s pretty much a dead issue.

No.

Alonso was supposed to be driving the Porsche with Hulk at Le Mans...but Ron Dennis refused to give him permission to do it.

an absolute rocket from half field

If they use the series to increase the value for attending F1 races, I don’t see the issue. Why not have them be support races for the Fri/Sat of several race weekends?

To each their own...

I’m assuming Buxton will find something. He must be fairly connected within the sport considering he was doing commentary for the GP2 world feed for several years.

They’re pretty ehhh (Hobbs in particular) but whatever floats your boat.

You’d prefer these guys over a direct Sky F1 feed? I haven’t heard that rumor but your tastes are... interesting.

Don’t worry, he’ll launch his own magazine

If they had a Honda unit, they’d be fighting McLaren to eek into the points.

Two can play at this game...

Hey, asshole, she beat Jenson Button back in the day.
