I don't know if I find it sad or disturbing that people have such short memories now days, makes them way easy to manipulate.

Of course not. They had to fight so hard to be on P1 and P2, showed such a perfect season...nothing to discuss. :mrgreen:
Nothing will save us from countless pages of nonsense. Well yes, Turbo and his might Thor-esque power botton. :D
Do not expect too much, then you can enjoy the nonsense. Before this season I was annoyed by the way some guys were posting about their beloved drivers in a moronic way, but it is much more fun just to approve everything they say. Like this you end up with enjoying pure slapstick conversations.
The only way to keep this thread from pure bullshit is to exclude every discussion about Britney and the other girl and to put it into another thread like we had it in Spain. That was the only normal race thread this season.

And on this: Hamilton; the real Dadz on the track. Everybody has to come out the way when he's coming through.

P.S. if there are any Rosberg fans here, please let me know. I do not want to hurt your feelings :mrgreen:

Yes, very important memories. Not to forget. You might keep it in your signature to keep the heritage alive?

I am more of a neutral fan of the sport having a burnout of moderating a topic full of Trump jr's. Does that count? #warmingthatbanbutton

Did you think about a second race thread like in Spain for Ham Ros WDC ying yang? Might make your next weak way easier.

Just for the record I did not say this. There must've been some editing error.

And here I thought to get a deep and meditating conversation with doctor basti :P. Not even a "so what is on your mind, Andy? Not sleeping well? Title keeping you busy? You do know Rosberg owns Hamilton, right?"

There will be a trashdumper topic. Opened on Thursday. I'll put forward a motion that once that topic is open, any and all conversation about the title stops in this thread.

Sorry... I am a doctor, but no psychologist. You need to get that help somewhere else. :mrgreen:

I'm sorry. That was not politically intended, rather it was pointed at Donald Trump's undeniable "trolling" nature (it's both his greatest point of criticism who chastice him, as well his greatest point of praise from people who adore him).

How many races will Lewis have on his race PU?

How many races old will Rosbergs be?

Given that these PUs are detuned via mapping according to a predetermined protocol, how much HP do we expect Nico to be down on Lewis?

They will give them equal chance so expect merc to adjust the modes to equalize both power and fuel consumption.

I much prefer Mclaren's idea of equality which mostly works out to two sides of a garage racing independently, with the odd exception. Mercedes just seem to suck the life out of racing through their endless yet futile pursuit of parity.

You must have a short memory because people have been like this for thousands of years :)
