Lewis looked happy and quite relaxed, Rosberg on the other hand looked dejected, stressed and uncomfortable.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Talk is cheap Lewis. Need to stop worrying how to beat Nico in the media and beat him on the track. I see a curva grande moment in our future.

Q: (Barna Zsoldos - Nemzeti Sport) Nico, as the tension in the Championship battle is getting bigger and bigger, have you prepared yourself psychologically for a very vicious media attack? What we saw in the past two weeks was basically some kind of witch-hunting already against you from certain journalists.
Good to see some of the non-british media stucking up for the poor bugger.
Chin up Nico.

any idea if it will be allowed to use the Parabolica run-off area during the qualifying warm-up lap to carry speed into the fast lap?

So all the talk of top speeds and we saw high 340s in FP1. I guess with the engines turned up later in the weekend we will see a little more.

Last year top speeds improved by 1kph (339-340) between fp1 and qualifying 3. Mind you there was a big difference in terms of speed in Belgium (around 10kph) between fp1 & 3, not sure if that was weather related or not though.

Yeah I think FP1 in Spa last year was mixed conditions while FP3 was bone dry.

Race speeds will be something like +20 compared to quali.

It's always Hamilton's side of the garage:

1) sabotage

OR

2) clumsy mechanics

Jeezes! :evil:
Mercedes AMG + Hamilton => dreamteam!
If you can't beat'em, call Masi!

Dont think anyone is surprised, bad luck or poor mechanics on his side of the garage, who knows.
