That would probably make Ros haters show a little bit of their soft side... hahaha

Can't wait for the race!!!
I need a kilo of that. Mind telling the address please? Been quite a long since I smoked and they have banned near my place. 8)
You must be on something right now... No other way to explain your quote... :) And a kilo??? :D Need to catch up on the lost time? haha :D

To be honest, I don't actually care who wins the WDC, just let the season end so we can focus on 2017 and have a more even playing field... [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o<

more even playing field?

I think people are thoroughly mistaken to think 2017 will 'even' the field. It would be more even if the rule change didn't happen.
Instead, we're going to see a manufacturer step up and have a huge advantage. This could be RedBull again, but Mercedes and Mclaren are in it too.
I'd count Ferrari out because of the mess it is in. If they felt 'safe' for 2017, they wouldnt be in all this stress. Mclaren seems in a mess now with the RonDennis affair,
so that doesnt mean good news for them.

I'd call either a big advantage for Mercedes or RedBull, and something tells me RedBull is the one to look out for.

Ahh one week out of this forum but things have no changed. :roll:

Apart from the childish attitudes of "I want this drive out of the race becase he sucks" that bores me to death, I think that most of us want an exciting race. Like for example Nico making a bad start and being forced to recover some positions in order to get the championship like it happened with Vettel in 2012. I want Nico to win this championship but this scenario would be more interesting than a boring 1-2 race. Dont you think?

i think that what i want to see is rosberg and hamilton both starting from the back of the grid, and seeing them both carve through the field up into the points, all the time fighting each other too.

it wont happen, but it would be nice to see them actually race.

So whilst complaining on other forum members opinions and 'wishes', you accuse them of doing the very same you are posting right after attacking about the very same......right.

Four drivers have selected only one set of supersoft tires for the race. This is the mandatory race tire, which means that this one set needs to be available for the race, whether they use it or not. What happens if one of those drivers gets a puncture or a blowout during practice with their one set of supersoft? Are they simply planning to not use this tire at all during practice or qualifying?

It would 99% guaranteed destroy the WDC right there, as it would be nearly impossible for Lewis to make the finishline at P1, or atleast with a big enough margin against his teammate to win it.

If however, that happens, and Lewis' car is 99% intact and Nico's car is 75% intact, then it might become interesting to see Lewis bloodthirsty to get the position needed to get the WDC, and Nico going all-out with a damaged Merc trying to get high enough to block a WDC 'snag' from Lewis. It would make things exciting were that to happen, yes.

Not if both cars would come out unscathed and simply 'tour' through the field towards P1 and P2 and essentially making the WDC battle much less exciting.

Would Lewis however be able to convince another driver to 'crashgate' into Nico? :mrgreen:
Will Toto smash onto the 'self-destruct' button of Lewis' car if Nico gets P4?
Would Toto smash the 'self-destruct' button of Nico's car if he's P3?
Would Seb the 'wrecking ball' wipe Nico clear off the track?
Will Massa get payback on losing his WDC by blocking Lewis into the field?
Or will Raikkonen grab P1 like a boss?

How will we survive the result of the final GP until the first GP of 2017?!!!

I hope to see an agonic and epic battle between Nico and Lewis until the last lap. You hope to see a DNF for Nico. Thats the difference. I think this was very easy to understand.

In all honesty: I'll be glad we'll be done with it. This constant jibber jabber is frankly exhausting: "oh, it's soooo unfair Hamsterton is not winning the title." "Purpleberg is nothing more than sh*t. How dares he winning the title" "Coco WereWolf should blow up Purpleberg's PU." "Someone please nail iotar to a cross. And put a sock in his mouth." "rape the moderator; he's killing my Purpleberg bashing vibe."

I hope I am atleast spared of any aftermath. Surely this particular discussion has been discussed to death already, to the point we don't need to discuss when we effectively have the outcome?

Ps, might contain traces of satire, sarcasm and excagerations. I do not condone actual raping or actual crucifying by any means.

i guess reading is hard for you

In other words, i'm rather fine by it by now, having seen Lewis going all out to return with a great final battle that unfortunately for him did not make it.
now where did i say i HOPE for a Rosberg DNF?
Matter of fact, i do NOT hope for that. I HOPE for excitement.

Did i hope a Nico DNF in previous races? YES, for having a balance.
Do i hope it for this race? NO.

get your facts straight.

As Ros has no fans it will cool down quite quickly. Hamboys will celebrate or spit blood for a week and then they are done no matter how it will end.

Yes, it is sooooo exciting if Britney or the other girl wins. This will be so much more exciting than the usual coin toss on who messes up we had the last three years.
