BGOL Ongoing Formula One Thread: 2025 Off-Season
- Thread starter SIDESHOW
- Start date
That kid is going to be a world champion one day... I did want to fall for the hype so soon because you know how it goes with these people gassing their own but after defending like that I am beginning to think that he's something close to special.
You're kidding right? Man, they had to slow them mfkrs down.
rosberg hasn't done well in the past when he's under pressure. Lewis seems to have finally gotten his head together, if that fucking snake lauda leaves his side of the garage alone. Let's see what the new circuit brings. Nobody has really run the shit in anger. That skinny uphill is going to be a bitch.
Yeah he is. He has lived up to the hype in a way I honestly haven't seen since Lewis. I know the boys in Maranello have plans for him in a few years...
This race didn't do much for me. Will be curious to see what the hell was up with Hamiltons settings.
Watching it now, new track some tight ass corners, pretty sure they'll soften them for next season too many drivers where clipping them. Reminds me of the Monaco circuit if you placed on pole you'll end up winning 1st place.
Hamilton!
Damn that last lap was exciting as hell to watch.

Sitting in church glancing at my F1 app seen the result, thought the devil was playing tricks on me, Hamilton won Nico in 4th? Almost did a WTF, before I left for church Hamilton pit messed up he was in 2nd I thought for sure another Rosberg win...Go Team Hamilton...
To them it doesn't matter. Nico is German which is closely linked to Austria; Hamilton is Black and British.
Unfortunately many fans put patriotism first and fairness second... That's just how it is.
All kinds of caping for Nico
They need to call Nico out for what he is.. A bitchass dickhead.
Here we are 4 hours later and they're really pumping this brake issue... When your brakes are hot and fading you brake lighter and earlier. With almost half the lap left why would late braking even be an option??? Basic sense tells you to save the brakes and bring the car home. When you're leading the championship you don't need to take risks. That shit was personal and intentional. If he had understeered he wouldn't have gone straight in that his nose would've at least been in the direction of the turn somewhat, he just wouldnt have turned and there would've tire smoke... He didn't even try to turn, fuck what they're saying
Me! I've been a sports car lover and road course fan for about 20 years. Bought the original Playstation only to play the first Gran Turismo. http://www.sccawiregrass.org/, http://www.alscca.net/index.php/autocrossquickmenu. I've done HPDE at "Little Talladega", and my Audi club has events at Atlanta Motorsports Park. I plan on building a race simulator with 3 screens when I get a bigger house. Sim racing is about to become highly competitive since the FIA put their stamp of approval on it.

They did their best to hand this race to Nico(shitty pitstop and tire strategy) and Ham grinds his way back anyways, and they are gonna sit there straight faced and try to imply that BOTH drivers had some culpability? FOH
This!!!! Nico came off like it was his race to win because he was ahead and he owned the position on the turn. He clearly drove directly into Hamilton to put him off course and coast to the victory. After the pit issue, then the tire decision for Hamilton on the last stop, it appears that the Mercedes team is heavily tilted towards Nico to win this season. Hamilton needs to give them a big 'F*** You' and take another championship, then walk. Makes no sense as to how they treat him...other than being racist bitches.
I'm in the Apex racing league on PS4 for F1. I plan on getting 2016 first day.
I know Audis are better cars to road race with than a FWD Accord, but having 4WD I assume if you push too hard on stock brakes with the weight of an Audience your brakes can fade too. How well do you cope with brake fade on a circuit??? Unless I heel/toe my brake are gone after 6-8 hard coners.
Just finished watching the race. Man if that last lap doesn't sum up difference between Hamilton and Rosberg, I don't know what does. Nico in the lead, Hamilton charging and Nico just can't handle the pressure. He might be one of the worst under pressure drivers I've seen. Now Mercedes are talking about imposing team orders and not wanting to call a spade a spade. Rosberg is such a delusional prick, still saying it's Lewis's fault. But, I remember 2014, you start to see Nico crack under pressure after this race.
I have a little Audi A3 so there isn't too much trouble concerning weight. I upgraded to stainless steel lines and was gonna do a whole big brake kit, but the older more experienced heads told me to just upgrade my pads. It's my daily driver so I didn't go full race pads but found some that offer great stopping power, low dust, and little to no noise. And of course race quality brake fluid! I attend Quattro de Mayo most years with the Audi Club of Georgia. Those guys hustle S6s and RS7s through the twisty mountain roads with no problem! But of course repeated use on a road course is a different animal. I plan on getting a TTS or TTRS for my next vehicle. Perfect blend of road/track for me.
I'm watching the after racing analysis. Man this asshole really tried to pull some Michael Schumacher shit. They played the onboard footage, it didn't attempt to turn his steering wheel at the appropriate distance. Then this muthafucka purposely keep to the left to keep Lewis off the track.

Rosberg penalised, stays fourth, after Hamilton clash
Nico Rosberg has been penalised by the FIA stewards after they deemed him 'responsible for the collision' with team mate Lewis Hamilton while fighting for the lead on the final lap in Austria.
After examining video and telemetry evidence, and having heard from Rosberg, Hamilton and representatives from Mercedes, the stewards determined that Rosberg had not allowed Hamilton 'racing room'.
The penalty does not alter the classification however - Rosberg was handed a 10-second time penalty, but was 14 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo at the chequered flag, meaning he stays fourth overall.
Bullshit penalty, how about penalizing Rosberg 10 seconds on the next race....

Thought you Brothers might like to see this:
Saw that on Autoblog last week. Hulk should've worked on his eyeball tracking more for this past weekend, lol. He started 2nd and DNF running in 14th. Perez started 16th and was running 8th on the last lap before his brakes actually failed. Not the bullshit kind Mercedes was telling us Rosberg had. Perez has been killing it this season.

The fact that he only got 10sec penalty is unbelievable man. Causes an avoidable accident, left no room for opponent to get back on the track and dragged his front wing under car for almost a whole lap. Shit is crazy.
Guys,
You haven't seen the dark side of F1. What they are doing is nothing compared to what Lewis went through at McLaren and how the stewards used to treat him. That Charlie Whitting (race director) used to penalise Hamilton for sneezing. If you get a chance, go and review the 2008 and the 2012 seasons. Especially the Belgian race in 2008.
Don't get me started on McLaren. Especially after Button joined that team in 2010. Those fuckers even tried to sabotage Hamilton's move to Merc in 2012.
So, our boy is used to worst of F1 and he came on top every time like the cream he is.
But my biggest worry is the fact that he is going to have to drive his ass off to win the championship this year. He has one engine left and Nico has 4. Meaning he might be caught up in some wars and we would expect the stewards to apply the same punishment as they are applying to Nico and others. It's a wish but experience tells me otherwise.
If you have time and you want to know how much Hamilton is hated in F1 go read this blog (www.jamesallenonf1.com). Especially when the rumours of the move to Merc started circulating in Sept 2012.
