My thoughts are with you. I'm glad I don't have your job. I've been dialing back my internet usage and plan to take a break after the weekend. Especially if things turn intense. I suppose you are spared no such luxury. :|

But we all know why that is, we know it, they know it, Rosberg knows it: "unreliability" or the day that Merc took the Rosberg card: "after 2016 we would like to have two champs in our team". As simple as that.
Seriously disappointed in Mercedes...

He's going to need it. Things will get heated around here I'm sure. There are already warning signs.

I'll send a 1000 kudos in advance to the mods here. I'm just glad that by the time i've seen the actual race, it has passed a couple of hours and die-hard fanatism will have blown past and the locks and chains will be set out already.

True. Ban the non-hardcore-Ham-fans. They just suck and disturb and guys like you can come back and feel free. We are missing you. Hope you come out again when hopefully Rosberg's engine fails.
He's not a non-harcore Ham fan. He's a troll who hates him. There's quite an obvious difference.

The petty comment about the engine failing shows you are also one of them troll thingys. Always stereotyping fanbases rather than appreciating that fan views are independent.

First of all, to imply tha the other guy is stupid or has problems to read is not a good way to discuss. Right?

Secondly , we both made a great and stupid mistake here and I personally feel ashamed because of this. My initial comment(the one you answered and started this discussion) was not refering to anything you said. It was a reference to what two guys said several pages before.

For some reason you quoted my comment and answered me thinking (incorrectly) that I was criticizing you. My mistake come ere, I confussed you with other guy who said that he was hoping for a DNF, based on your reply to my comment. And this is the reason I accused you(incorrectly) of saying this. I have nothing against your comment mate, when you have quoted your own comment I have realized that we ere discussing base on incorrect intepretations, holy sh*t! #-o

My bet is it's gonna be quiet. I think most Hamilton fans - me included - have already resigned to Rosberg being WDC this year. Beyond that, everything has already been discussed and pointed out. Abu Dhabi won't change that, even if Rosberg somehow manages to stuff it up somewhere and overcomes some obstacle to win it in the end.

Actually, I think the only thing I'm willing to bet my hand on is that memories run extremely short in motorsport. If Rosberg wins Abu Dhabi in style, no one will care or think about the prior technical issues Hamilton suffered earlier in the year that enabled him to be in this comfortable situation. They will see Rosberg as a just and deserved WDC regardless because memories only go back to the last race.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

But, but, but if Hamilton wins and Rosberg finishes off the podium, we won't hear any criticisms about a lucky and undeserved WDC for years and years to come, just like we don't hear anyone go on about Brazil 2008 today?

Of course not. They had to fight so hard to be on P1 and P2, showed such a perfect season...nothing to discuss. :mrgreen:

My bet for this weekend:

1.Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Verstappen
4. Ricciardo
5. Vettel


Race:

1. Hamilton
2. Verstappen
3. Rosberg
4. Raikkonen

Vettel and Ricciardo will collide, just to give us some fun and room to discuss about something more than who deserved the WC.

Nico says he wil try to win. I dont believe it, he will race on auto mode, like he has done in the last races.

Did anyone see the video with Nico swimming in large pool of golden urine? As if that will protect him on Sunday...
