Rosberg is always stitched up by Mercedes... He moved over at Monaco as he would have been done for illegal parking if he had gone any slower! Where did he finish 7th or 8th?

Your posts are beyond tiresome.
Just put him on your ignore list - job done. :)
Best thing anyone has said all year on this forum. Bravo.

Fine, where is braking telemetry? He either braked too late to make the corner at all = kept his lead only by cutting the corner or braked early enough and went straight without trying. It was obviously former but either way gain is keeping the lead and no backing off equalises it. It's not some corner mid -race where you go back from 0,7 to 1,7 and back to 0,7 it's a start and gains are binary - lead or not.

How is keeping the lead not 'lasting advantage" to the alternative of attempting to make a corner and slowing down? Alternative that is either not possible (braked too late) or with consequences like slowing down and losing positions. How is backing off equalising keeping the lead without trying to make a corner at the start, most important part of the race? Absurd explanation aka Jedi mind gestures.
Why are we discussing this topic on the Brazil thread? I keep reading the same arguments worded differently over and over. Maybe its time to open a thread more relevant to this argument rather than filling the Brazil race thread? :wink:
I'm in favour of the Admin starting a speacial iotar thread. And any post he/she makes gets put there automatically. Then when ever your feeling down or upset, just go there and have a read. Always makes me laugh.

Surely no-one takes him seriously?

Ian Fergusson ‏@fergieweather
@mraishbrook trend lately increases chance of patchy phases of rain (this looking fairly light) at times on both Sat and Sun at Interlagos.

So no worries about SC starts. That wont happen.
sounds like a dry race to me 8)
Dry race with some scattered shower that could bring chaos, nice. :D
my weather forecast now says too much rain....
but lets see (the dry track :mrgreen: )
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

I think there's a curve. Over time I have come to quite enjoy them, but it wasn't always like that.

Ferrari quite far and Rosberg playing with fire again, he needs to improve this performance.

I thought they done away with the safety car start ? Safety car out, when the track is good enough they all line up on grid for regular start

I thought that was next year. Is that the plan they decided on? I can't seem to remember.

1. Had it rain on Sunday race time, what`s the odds to see a Monaco repeat race? :mrgreen:
2. Regarding Io`s posts, in my country there`s a saying : "(he is behaving like that coz) his underwear is so stretched around him that is causing a nasty itchy allover his ba@ls every time". I suggest he should use a softener when he does his laundry :D
