Anyone watching Formula 1?

Let's imagine the other driver in Mercedes instead of Rosberg ( so for example Raikkonen, Ricciardo) They would not drive like Niko had done in Hungary. I didn't believe in him in his home GP.
Never thought about this, but i really missed Di Montezemolo time in Ferrari. lol

Rosberg isn't even in my top 5 drivers on the grid. Cant attack, cant defend, awful with water on the track. He is where he is because of the car only, whereas Hamilton would get the best position he could out of any car.

Top 5 drivers for me:

Ricciardo
Hamilton
Vettel
Alonso
Verstappen.

Verstappen.

And Nico's first wins in this season were because of Hamilton car's problems actually.
for me Alonso is the best, forever.

To be honest, you could put the top 4 in that list, in any order and I wouldn't argue.

Word!!

Can't agree more except, I'd just add Kimi on that list too

Hamilton is looking to bag his 4th WC at the end of the season. It's impressive to say the least.

Ferrari needs immediate tactics change! In the beginning of this season, it was a race between them and Mercedes, but now even Red Bull is better! Don't want to underestimate Red Bull, it's really, really awesome team, especially both drivers, but I'm so disappointed with what's going on with Ferrari.

Also, although I'm so happy about Max and him and Vettel are my favourite drivers, I unbiasedly think that because he's a F1 star at the moment, he gets too many protections. When he makes a mistake or push out another driver from the track, it passes unnoticed. But as soon as someone pushes him out of the track, there's a penalty.
Yesterday Nico got 5 extra seconds punishment (which I was very happy about), but I'm sure that if the roles were opposite, Max would not receive any penalty.

Most Boring Sport on the Planet sorry .. I'm so sick of Hamilton Wins .. Hamilton Wins .. Hamilton Wins .. every season for how long has the best car won not the best driver necessary when the Red Bull was Kin it was Vettel Vettell When The Ferrari Dominated it was Shumi .. this is meant to be a sport where the better driver wins not the best car .. until F1 level the playing fields its always going to be one way traffic the team with the most money and superior CAR not DRIVER will be champions .. I used to Love watching F1 Alonso was my Man these days i would rather watch paint dry

I understand your attitude

According to what I have read and heard, this is far away from the golden F1 era.
Can't agree more with everything you said about best driver, there's so many rules I also find unfair. Was just speaking about Alonso yesterday - he's amazing, but he can't show his real skills anymore driving much slower car. Nico Rosberg is certainly not in top 5 drivers, but he's 2nd on the leaderboard, thanks to his beast of car. Hamilton is good driver, stable and brave, but I'm wondering if he'd win the championships with slower car.

I think that F1 is starting to realise they're loosing the audience, so they decided to change a lot of rules and the cars. So from the next season, we'll be watching different cars and there's not going to be, for example, DRS

This will hopefully put some excitement into races, again..

All I will say is, nobody complained when Vettel was dominating

The teams got the same warning that they were switching engines. Mercedes invested more money and got the most out of their engine, that's a part of the sport.

Put them all in the same car you take away more excitement and lose all sponsors.

Pretty soon there will be a shake up in the rules on engines and it will be a level playing field for the top 4 teams, it happens every so often.

But it's too sad sometimes that so much money have to be involved and crucial in all sports

I agree, but before Silver arrows there were Red Bulls and before that you had Ferraris, it's almost always like that, and yeah to watch it sometimes is really boring. I would like them to bring refuelling back or add some more freedom and $$$ limits, otherwise bigger team always wins. Look at World Rally Cross - so much fun to watch and everyone can win there!

**FruityJelena** · 5 August 2016, 2:07 pm

Jesus, what a choice of tires for Belgium, made by Ferrari.
I have no idea what are they doing and thinking this season.

**edi123** · 8 August 2016, 4:15 am

Ferrari is just not the same..

True that..
But it's still a mystery about what is going on, some tactics/decisions made etc.

**OndraK** · 9 August 2016, 5:01 am

Formula 1 is bad nowadays. They have to much rules :/ ... Better is rally or autocross

I hate Rally because there is almost nowhere to watch it live...

Tactics change you say?! Ok. EIlison left the team. It's terrible for Ferrari...
