BGOL Ongoing Formula One Thread: 2025 Off-Season
- Thread starter SIDESHOW
- Start date
2 hours 15 minutes and counting... 
They lucky Manor Marussia didn't run this weekend. Even then - McLaren would still be at the back of the grid. Alonso must be glad he crashed and wished he could have doctors ordered rest for all the remaining races of the season.
Shit is ridiculous. The chassis was always the problem. Not the fucking engine.
As horrendous a season Maca has had so far, I just feel like once they iron out the kinks, the Honda unit will be sniffing some W06. At this point everyone is vying for best of the rest, so even if Maca is at the back for now, they still have the wildcard potential to actually take the fight to Mercedes. Alonso wants a 3rd chip, not a 2nd place Trophy whether he stayed at Ferrari or not, even if they are best of the rest, it doesn't matter in the big picture. Ferrari is a welcome surprise though and I want to see the Raikonnen/Vettel fight. I think Vettel has a lot to prove this year.
That even a real paint job/livery on the Erikson car?
Shit is plain ass
No doubt Ferrari's strategy was on point. I guess Rosberg got his wish.
it'll nice to see Vettel battle at the front if Ferrari can keep up development, I still need to see his wheel to wheel action.

That exchange was funny as fuck. Nico had no sense of humor whatsoever. But its very interesting, Ive never seen the pendulum swing on two drivers this fast in terms of public perception. Vettel has gone from loved, to hated, back to being liked and perhaps loved again. If you win in a Ferrari youll be immortalized Vettel is a funny dude though. I was lukewarm after hearing him come abord, but Im starting to warm up to him. Nico has turned into the heel... Even talking to Hamster haters, they dont like Nico.
Cracking at the seams.

There's a long way to go yet but I agree Rosberg is showing signs of cracking. Don't forget, last season this time the same could've been said about Lewis. Watch Vettle; he's an excellent driver though erratic in traffic. Looks like they found some ponies in the scuderia.
And who was that grey-eyed sister that was in Lewis' box? She may have been with Smaug but he just got married and it wasn't to her.

I'll tell you what the difference is. Lewis started last season in the worst possible way(DNF). He came back to win 3 straight. Rosberg had satisfied look about him because he had the advantage of being 25 pts up on Lewis. Unfortunately for Rosberg, he thought he had those points on merit. This season he had no such luck and reality is sinking in. He's not as close as he thought he was to Lewis in qualifying and for sure he knows he can't hold a candle when comes to racecraft(which explains today). You're right it is a long season, but Nico is already showing immense stress instead of that all out spirit Lewis showed around this time last year. Just listen to what he actually bitched about this weekend. He's mad at his race engineer for telling him to pick up the pace during his in lap of qualifying as if that cost him pole. Really? Now he blames almost getting overtaken by Vettel on Hamilton being too slow in front of him. That might be the weakest excuse I've heard out of a racer. That line just shows he's already defeated in his head. "I'm not gonna try to pass the slow guy, I'm just gonna tell him to just speed up". Man, I was waiting and hoping for Vettel to dig in his ass for that.

If Lewis' response isn't a case of Zero Fucks Given, then I don't know what is.
