Damn Rosberg almost lost it
GOO MASSA still able to maintain 3rd that's awesome!
Lol Bottas doesn't know how to put on his seatbelt and has to get the pit crew to do it for him when it came loose (Smedley said he never puts on his own seat belt)
@ Nelson Piquets interview with Hamilton "i'm very jealous of you but not for your driving or your car but for your girlfriend, she's gorgeous where is she right now?"
Can't find as many grid girl pics as normal and I don't get why because they're
Mark Webber has admitted he is concerned about the road on which Formula 1 has turned, as he contemplates the end of the first season the new V6 turbo era.
At the end of 2013 the Australian veteran called time on his Formula 1 career and switched to the increasingly popular sportscar series including the classic Le Mans race with Porsche.
So as the first season without Webber since 2001 comes to a close this weekend, the popular 38-year-old was asked by Salzburger Nachrichten to contemplate the highly-anticipated title showdown between Mercedes‘ two drivers.
Webber duly gave his answer, but completed his comments with: “I have to say, there are more important things in Formula 1 at the moment. I’m talking about the state … the prosperity of the entire sport.”
Indeed, it is a tumultuous time for Formula 1, with backmarkers going out of business and the next-smallest teams fighting viciously over income and power.
Webber thinks the sport also took a sharp turn with its new regulations this year, “Look at Kimi [Raikkonen]. This is not racing. If you could drive the cars hard at the limit, he would be there. One fastest lap after the next.
“He’s completely frustrated,” said Webber, referring to the Finn who has struggled notably alongside Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso in 2014.
“I also found Bernie Ecclestone saying he doesn’t need a young audience in Formula 1 very, very interesting,” he added.
Formula 1 will, however, have a 17-year-old on the grid next year. Webber is not impressed, “I’m not sure if people want to pay €400 for a ticket to watch a seventeen year old,” he said.
“We’ve had other cases, like Fernando or Kimi, but these were very special cases and the cars back then were much more difficult to drive, especially physically. The probability of failure was much greater.”
“Now it’s almost embarrassing when an Formula 1 car comes out of the pits. It’s like a slightly stronger GP2; it’s not the Formula 1 we were all used to,” mused Webber.
He added that he does not particularly miss the highest category of open-wheeler racing, “It’s been a few months since I watched an entire race on TV.”
“After Brazil I was in a car listening to the radio, and 85 per cent of what they were talking about was the tyres. It’s frustrating not only for the drivers but for the fans.
“DRS is embarrassing,” he added. “It’s so different to the mid-2000s. I think the development of the last three or four years did the fans no favours.”
“Four pitstops, what’s that about? And these pay drivers – we should have absolutely the best drivers in Formula 1, but some guys who do belong there can’t even afford the €400,000 they need for a single test day,” Webber said. (GMM)

Bernies been saying some crazy shit lately too about not caring about social media use with Formula 1 or caring/needing young audiences to now threatening to lay the hammer down on internet media passes at the paddocks -_-
Mark Webber seems like a realy kool bloke that anyone would want to have a beer with. Outside of Hamilton and Kimi, most F1 drivers act like robots now.....

congrats lewis! You definitely earned the title this year. Props to nico though, he definitely proved he is a top tier driver and a title contender in 2015
Ok now, let's start the debate, they both are 2x world champions and both have similar amount of wins......who is the best driver in f1? Lewis or Fernando? Vettel is not even in the discussion

I'd like to see them duke it out in a karting race. Not to see who emerges as the winner, but just to watch their race craft against each other.
I think Lewis has more outright pace than Fernando. If it were a competition to see who's faster between the two, Lewis would take charge in that. However feel Fernando is the better racer and is more adaptive than Lewis. He's much more patient behind the wheel that Lewis, and that gives the ability to wait for whoever's in front of him to make a mistake, or pressure him into making one.
Congrats to Lewis. It would of been a travesty if Rosberg won. Please get rid of double points and fix points system. 7 pts between 1st and 2nd isn't enough IMO.
Lewis vs Alonso? I like Alonso. Putting that POS ferrari in positions it doesn't deserve.
