I get the feeling Niki Lauda is the new Nick Fry...

Bob Bell may be helping with the engine integration, but he is still the TD right?
Honda!

Come on guys! Are we really reading this much into Ross Brawn's words? I don't believe a word...

Maybe they have hired Lauda in order to fire him when everything goes wrong. And suddenly they have a Red Bull team :mrgreen:

or all drivers having advertised with red on slivers caps have run into troubles :mrgreen:

poor result for Michael ... Grosjean and others rabbits are near him so will be tricky... i don't know why but i feel he didn't finish this race but if he did will be high (somewhere in top 6)

btw: after announced his retirement, both British televisions (BBC and sky sports) stop shows his after race/qualifying interviews. ](*,)

back to Nico: he will get some points tomorrow ..... i predict a surprise race (something with a lot of crashes)

Exactly so. So we now know no one is actually in charge. That certainly matches up with everything we've heard so far.

Same here. A race win and a few podiums would be good.
Hard to see any of RBR, McL, Ferrari & Lotus losing too much ground next year. Given all the teams' current form as the season hits the homestretch, Sauber has a better chance of starting off next year ahead of Merc than Merc's chances of gaining on any of the top 4 teams.

Odd that Dr. Z thinks they need a new clown to stir things up, considering the original continues to do what he does best. :mrgreen:

Michael should have ended this race on the 3rd lap, as did Perez.

Now he will get +5 or even a +10 for next race -.-

Nice strategy Mercedes ...

Its a shame that Sauber also has got no points :(

Wow, Now they can't even keep up with Williams and str
They are only faster than HRT, Virgins and Caterhams :|

The only reason they finished ahead of STR is their drivers are crap compared to Nico and Schumy

An embarrassment to F1, to a 7 WDC and to fans as well. I'm just not sure how the Merc board are keeping this team. Very strange.

Was following the live timing closely, Michael was putting in consistently faster laps than Nico. Had he not got that puncture he would have finished in points. I am glad I didn't go for the race this year.
Forza Michael. Forza Jules
