And when all things are equal, hamilton smashes rosberg!

Indeed. It has been the story all year along. Whenever things have gone fine for both, It has always been Lewis who has come out on top.

[Ninners]

That was a great lap by Lewis.

First lap was great, excited to see what Bottas can do off the line tomorrow, going to be some nice team mate battles.

Merc PU is worth at least 1s compared to renault and ferrari. Mclaren faster than RB all of a sudden? lol.

[mikeerfol]

Can feel the tension between Nico and Lewis.

Lewis talking about MY team and MY side of the garage, while NICO choose to address at the TEAM.

Very political indeed.

[Waywardism]

Rosberg hasn't always had the best starts this year. I think we could easily see one or both of the Williams sneak infront of him before the 1st chicane. If they do I don't think he'll have an easy job retaking the position. Predictions:

HAM
ROS
BOT
BUT
ALO
MAG
RIC
VET

Massa to suffer his usual bad luck, perhaps a bird getting stuck in his airbox.

He has a point, and has always said they win & lose together, both at Mercedes & Mclaren. Both drivers always remember/highlight the efforts the guys in the garage & factory go to and thank them accordingly.

For what its worth, not wholly accurate is it? He actually said a great 1/2 for the The Team!! Lets focus on something that has at least an inkling of value.

Will have to read the transcript of the post qualifying conference again. IIRC, Lewis emphasis a lot on his side of the garage and HIS side of the team rather than saying the whole team. The value in this is the tension between the 2 drivers and they are not afraid of making it obvious.

[Waywardism]

The most interesting part of the press conference for me was when Hamilton said that he hoped to have some competition in the race from the other teams for the fan's sake and Rosberg gave a wry smile.. knowing that he really meant that he was hoping people would take points from Rosberg.

Never say never, that happened to Haga in world superbikes in 2009 and at monza too, a bird hit his arm at speed and that was that for him. It ultimately cost him the title but honestly it was only one of many misfortunes (and fXXk ups on his side) for him that year.

[roadie]

Is there normally much difference in start performance from each side of the grid?

Lots of teammates side by side tomorrow!
