Following two race stoppages, countless crashes and equally as much safety car periods, Lewis Hamilton emerged first at the finish line of a very wet Brazilian Grand Prix. Nico Rosberg joined him in the podium in second place while Max Verstappen mastered the conditions to climb back from 15th to 3rd in the final 15 laps.
I think he will do exactly what he has done in the last two races, drive on an automatic mode just to be second. Not exciting but its what he has to do.Just_a_fan wrote:Agreed. But pressure does strange things to people who would ordinarily be very calm and reasoned in their actions.
I don't think Nico will be silly.
I don't think Mercedes actually will allow Rosberg to attack Hamilton, with all potential dangers involved.Fulcrum wrote:Would Rosberg fight for the win, or give it up for a safe second?
Exactly. Interlagos happens to be a monster of a circuit. It demands a lot of the cars and drivers. bumpy circuit, lots of altitude differences and amounts of gearshifts. So engine and gearbox would be put under great amounts of stress. It would be incredible if all cars manage to finish the race, but I doubt so.Manoah2u wrote:
I think personally, Lewis has found the edge back over Rosberg, and i think Lewis' biggest danger at this moment
really isn't either Rosberg or the RB's to guarantee a LOSS of WDC,
it's simply the reliability factor of his car.
Gearbox, combustion engine, ERS, electronics. it's all very very borderline.
Nico can permit having a DNF. Lewis CANT.
Most bumps are gone now.WaikeCU wrote: Interlagos happens to be a monster of a circuit. It demands a lot of the cars and drivers. bumpy circuit,
Brasil is the last race of the seasonSiLo wrote:I just want the championship to be decided in the last race, and it has to be one whoever wins the race. I'd take a Hamilton win, and Rosberg finishing whereever so that they go to the last race on the same points. What an epic final race that would be after three years of them battling for the title.
I assume it's a matter of figurative speech, but I think we can all be rest assured that God has no interest in 'helping' already wealthy, fame, and settled people, as much as He also leaves it up to mankind to take care of itself for the time being. If that wasn't the case, then children in Africa would not starve to death whilst some bloated F1 drivers or bloated Briatore's will get a competitive prize and accompanying millions.wickedz50 wrote:The title will go to "whoever" God almighty wants to
The problem for Nico is that if he wins this one, he'll gain some respect but people will still call him 'lucky' like his father. He doesnt give much about it, and he'd be right there - let's face it, he has been supremely constant and does driver very strong. Some 'dubious' moves don't bring any much more good to it, but if we'd take that into account, then Schumacher, Senna, Piquet fall in that category too, so let's let set that aside.. At the moment anything can happen. Did anyone predict that Brazil will lose 3-0 to France in 1998? however Nico is under pressure because he has never been in this situation before. Merc has the final say... this is too hard to believe that Merc wants both their drivers to fight it out till the end...too good to be true.
Lewis is not gonna give up on this one. If Nico wins then he will earn some respect.
Agreed. It worked extremely well for Prost. However, if he's ahead after the first corner I expect him to go on and win as he's fast here.Vasconia wrote:I think he will do exactly what he has done in the last two races, drive on an automatic mode just to be second.

You are using "epic race" or "battling" in conjunction with a race at Abu Dhabi?SiLo wrote: What an epic final race that would be after three years of them battling for the title.
