F1 - 2016

[King Noel]

So if Nico accidentally takes Lewis out he wins the title...hmmm.

[RCJDR_NL165]

Max to the max!

Finally some action in the F1.

[King Noel]

@RCJDR_NL165 Agreed, very rarely do you see any driver taking out so many more experienced senior drivers like that in such a short space of time, let alone those conditions and by somebody so young.

[spectraaaaa_NL]

Did Hamilton think he was driving the SC or what?

[RCJDR_NL165]

Can't wait till the new season

[King Noel]

Congrats Nico. :thumbsup_tone3:

[King Noel]

@Hagsten Well I don't mind with what Hamilton did, I am sure most of the drivers in his situation would have done the same. Mercedes ordered Hamilton to throw away his only chance to win the championship. Hamilton was racing tactically and within the rules. He was well within his rights to control the race in the way he did.

[RCJDR_NL165]

As a team mate it was not acceptable what Hamilton did. As a race driver it was a smart move. I guess it depend on how you see f1 (as a teamsport or as a individual sport)

@Sjinne_4_ever_NL Don't forget Ferrari and Red Bull are quite similar this year, yet Ricciardo claimed 3rd place 2 races before the end of the Season.

Also, don't forget McLaren, budget-wise they should be near whic hthey aren't. Let's hope they can join the fight as well!

[King Noel]

@vinnyb Next season, I predict that Mercedes and Redbull will be fighting each other.

Well.. not really. I think Ferrari aimed for more. Redbull closed the big gap between Mercedes and managed to stay ahead of Ferrari in my opinion.

Yeah I hope McLaren can compete too. I love Alonso this year, hopefully they can fight for the podium.

[MartijnFC_NL]

Rosberg out

[King Noel]

@MartijnFC_NL Did not see that coming. Now who will replace him? I want to see Alonso or Vettel.

[Majstor Matt]

@MartijnFC_NL That news got me as well. But kinda expected, he is a World Champ, no better time to pull out than now, specially considering he is not that young anymore. Will be fun to see who will replace him, probably some young newbie. Then when that newbie will easilly be finshing on podium it will just once again show what kind of advantrage does Mercedes have over others and how easilly is to drive one.

[spectraaaaa_NL]

I think and hope Pascal Wehrlein. He knows Mercedes and the 2017-tyres already, is fast and has lot of potential

[King Noel]

@Majstor-Matt Verstappen?

[Majstor Matt]

@King-Noel Doubt it, he has a long term contract with Red Bull and I doubt they will let him go. Similar thing is with Vettel, as he has contract until 2019. with Frrari I think.. ANd considering that Hamilton wasnt too happy with this season I doubt they will bring him any real competition, some young fella will come and he will be very happy to be nr.2 in the world behind Lewis.

[King Noel]

@Majstor-Matt Bring back Karun Chandhok!! haha

[spectraaaaa_NL]

Yeah bring Chandhok back. Then fire Hamilton for ignoring teamorders multiple times and sign Pastor as the new number 1 driver

[King Noel]

@spectraaaaa_NL haha BREAKING NEWS: Karun Chandhok and Narain Karthikeyan to replace Hamilton and Rosberg at Mercedes.
