Ted is more and more becoming a caricature of himself as each race goes by. Glad I can watch Channel 4 the rest of the weekend, Karun Chandhok is far, far better of a pit guy. No bias and he actually realises there are 12 teams in the pit lane.
I'm surprised Sky haven't hitched their wagon more firmly to Jolyon Palmer this weekend, but I have noticed that they haven't really been dedicating any air time to him since Monaco. I think they've woken up to the fact that he isn't very good.
But at least he's asking interesting questions, like why Hamilton thinks his aggressive moves are okay, but Rosberg's aren't. I did find his response to Wolff's comment that he was willing to suspend a driver to be particularly compelling - if we're at the point that we have to talk about suspending drivers, doesn't that prove that the driver combination does not work?
Hopefully we'll have a race full of drama again.
Not the same thing. You could drop a driver for one race as a disciplinary matter and put someone else in the car.Actually it was negate a bit later on when they asked fans about it and they said the commentary didnt say such things. Weird lol. I'm guessing they thought Lewis was guilty probably and he's so easy to hate, not to mention that they are closer to a German driver than an English driver in Austria.
As for today GP I'm so glad I'm back on Channel 4
I've heard lots of people want team radio back, which I dont understand, I want driver to shine, not the engineer telling him to take that corner 5-10 kph faster because his teammate did it so it's possible. Let them race, let them find limit, let them solve there problem. This is a driver sports not a engineer sport or at least I hope it still is.
Also Pat Symonds said something interesting on sky this morning about how F1 was a team championship. I was very surprised, because as far as I knew, F1 as been a drivers championship first but then I thought about it a bit and it's clear that since team have sign those new deals, it became more a team championship than a driver championship. Mercedes I believe will have no trouble ****ing up the fight between Rosberg and Hamilton if they feel it hinder the team and that's a first time it happen from memory. I remember team order like Alonso on Massa etc.. but I dont recall prior to 2010 a team ordering theirs drivers to not fight because of the team ranking on the championship. I might be wrong
Also about suspending a driver, can he really ? I remember when Sauber had 3 drivers at start of last year, the team boss nearly went to jail because they weren't letting a guy under contract race, so how could mercedes do it ?
Chandhok recognises the ghost of Caterham, he's that attentive to detail.Who's the 12th team then
That's fine. (This has probably been brought up already)Thing is, in most sports, team sports mainly, there is coaching. From hand gestures in baseball to look behind you in basketball.

And the difference between Hamilton and Rosberg move ? It's simple, racecraft and character.
Hamilton is tough and Rosberg yield to him, but Hamilton stays on racing line, nothing too weird. Rosberg is tough, Hamilton doesnt yield and Rosberg push too much, he's outside of the racing line and he's not respecting F1 rules. Now if Rosberg didnt yield in Canada or USA, maybe Lewis would have been penalized, well in Austin probably not because he was in front, not sure about Canada as it was much much closer. Another things to set them apart tho, Hamilton is staying in trajectory, both in Austin and in Canada, while Rosberg is taking weird lines when he tries to block Lewis. In Austria it wasnt a good trajectory for anything except hitting Lewis at some point. With the elevation change and the dead angle f1 cars have, Rosberg should have realize Hamilton couldnt see him and that he'll have to turn at some point. Again, if Rosberg defended toughly and took the corner correctly and blocked Hamilton at exit, he would be probably have won the GP or at least not be blame.
Nope I actually thought he was doing an impression of 'Crashtor' Maldonado
Honestly, Vettel is the most unlucky driver on the grid this season
