Simply, nothing to talk about really other than the fanboy ying yang (Lewis vs Nico, and what could've, would've, should've happened if x thing had not happened), where is Alonso going and...that's it really.
I think no matter what happens Lewis clearly deserves this WDC more than Nico, based on race pace and number of wins, and I say this after having supported Nico throughout the year, but I kind of wish that Lewis has a mishap at Abu Dhabi and Nico gets it, just for the sake of fuelling a public uproar that might convince those idiots at the FIA to scrap the double points rule.
That would be the first step towards improving F1. Then I would bring back testing. It was also boring when Ferrari and Schumi dominated, but at least everyone else had a chance to catch up..
Here's to a half decent 2015.
nice post, not in agreement all the way of course, but well said.
Not sure about HAM vs ROS, but I have to say, as they stand now with HAM 17 points up, standings likely tell the story as it is.
I will say one thing about Ferrari/MS years: boring a bit, but I find it always very very exciting when one team manages to build such a dominant car. Then the story becomes how and what are the others doing to catch up. Still fascinating. I am astonished by Merc success this year and I find it simply beautiful.
And yes, testing should be back, free of any stupid regulations.
And all this cost cutting stuff should be abandoned.
Sorry for Katamaran and Marsupio but F1 is not for everyone, to the contrary, it is supposed to be the Elite, the best. It is not supposed to be for beggars (for once I agree with Ecclestone).
Finally too I am surprised so few comments but I suspect this is strictly related to few members in these forums at f1tech.
