No Hamilton is using the 2015 clutch now, both him and Rosberg used the 2015 clutch until Barcelona when Mercedes decided to revert back to the 2014 version but Hamilton prefers the 2015 one so he has that back again for this weekend whilst Rosberg is using the 2014 one.
According to Ted Kravitz anyway.

If I was Ferrari I would honestly consider getting someone like Sainz Jnr, the Level of Speed in his Rookie year can't be ignored.

Getting him out of the Red Bull stable would be like pulling teeth.
 
Also, wouldn't it be a bit foolish to place a young driver at a team that demands constant performance?

Let Sainz build up some experience at STR for another 1-2 seasons and then look further.

That's why Bottas is the better pick as of now.
 
Im not convinced Bottas is as good as people make out.
 
I think Massa will score more points this season and place 4th or 5th in the wdc.

The way I see it is Bottas is basically equal to a driver that was sub par at Ferrari, Motivation aside he was sub par for enough time to establish that it wasn't just a seasonal thing, where as someone like Sainz you have a guy at the start of his career and showing massive potential with very little Rawness in his skills, I have little doubt in my mind if Sainz was in Ferrari ATM he would at the very least be outqualifying Vettel a few times and finishing races ahead of him now and then without the huge dips of form that Kimi has had, STRs horrific pitstops have really hidden where Sainz has been in the races this year, he is much more refined then Kyvat and even Kyvat has shown he has the speed to challenge Ricciardo.

You might think that, but Redbull already have too much Talent to deal with.

Verstappen will be good no doubt about that and Kyvat is starting to show his cards as well, but Verstappen is probably a year too raw compared to Sainz who has had plenty of Junior Racing to hone his skills.

Watching Porsche Super Cup at Silverstone just then on Eurosport and someone is wearing a GTAcademy shirt. How cool is that?
 
Sainz outperform Vettel? I highly doubt that...

I'm sure some said the same of Ricciardo, he's an unknown quantity until he goes up alongside someone with experience.
 
Looks like Nasr could be out of the race before it starts. Stopped on track.
 
Rain forecast for 17:00, it's unlikely that the winds will change sufficiently for that rain to arrive at any time during the race.

It's back in the garage, engine is firing up, looks like being a pit-lane start.
 
I don't know why, but I feel like this race is going to be a good one. This race just feels different from the others.

Nasr is out of the race.
 
Well, McLaren can't finish in 20th since only 19 cars will be starting.
 
What a flyer of a start for Williams.

Button's McLaren sounded awful. :ouch:
 
Damnit. Button out.

Great guns by Williams... that's some traction.

Too bad the safety's out.
 
Argh! Safety Car. Grosjean and Button out of the race.

Maldonado out as well.
 
Cracking start from both Williamseses!

:cheers:
 
Who expected Williams to get that kind of start? :eek:
 
That wasn't bad!
