Depends if we keep double points The most a team can get at a race is 43 points, so if Abu Dhabi is double thats 86 [TABLE="width: 40%"] [TR] [TD="align: center"]Race[/TD] [TD]Date[/TD] [TD]Track[/TD] [TD]To win WDC ahead by[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]12[/TD] [TD] 24 Aug[/TD] [TD] Belgium[/TD] [TD]387[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]13[/TD] [TD] 7 Sep[/TD] [TD] Italy[/TD] [TD]344[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]14[/TD] [TD] 21 Sep[/TD] [TD] Singapore[/TD] [TD]301[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]15[/TD] [TD] 5 Oct[/TD] [TD] Japan[/TD] [TD]258[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]16[/TD] [TD] 12 Oct[/TD] [TD] Russia[/TD] [TD]215[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]17[/TD] [TD] 2 Nov[/TD] [TD] USA[/TD] [TD]172[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]18[/TD] [TD] 9 Nov[/TD] [TD] Brazil[/TD] [TD]129[/TD] [/TR] [TR="bgcolor: #FFFFFF"] [TD="align: center"]19[/TD] [TD] 23 Nov[/TD] [TD] Abu Dhabi[/TD] [TD]86[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] So a while At their current rate Red Bull would be 329 points behind Mercedes at race 14 (Singapore), giving Mercedes the title. If Mercedes were to get 3rd and 4th for the rest of the season the most another team could gain on them is 16 points (32 Abu), which would need a 240 point gap as things stand.
If by some miracle that they get 1-2's for the next 6 races and Red Bull score less than 12 points, Ferrari less than 33, etc etc.. They could win it at Spa mathematically.
There has been a car accident with Nico Rosberg and Pascal Wehrlein. -- Pedestrians at a Mercedes demo injured. F1 + DTM drivers may not be.
Hamilton is a middle class, reasonably well educated person, who's prancing around thinking he's from the "hood". He acts like a white person trying to be black. When dealing with someone like this, the remedy is to run home and watch Shaft (the 1971 version).
I was just wandering how you considered yourself more black when he is genetically and culturally half black and you are, as you have stated, white. Quite liking Bob Marley does not count.
Actually, as i mentioned Shaft, i figured i'd have some fun i(f you don't know the Theme from shaft, you won't get this): Who's the black F1 driver That moans and makes himself look like a prick? (Ham!) You're damn right Who is the man That would risk his car to beat his teammate man? (Ham!) Can ya dig it? Who's the cat that won't move out When there's blue flags all about (Ham!) Right on You see this cat Ham is a bad mother-- (Shut your mouth) But I'm talkin' about Ham (Then we can dig it) He's a complicated man But no one understands him but his engineer (Lewis ham) I'll come up with a more amusing one later when i get royally pissed.
Overall. So it's more than unlikely. I'm expecting it to be done around Russia or something if they continue getting wins.
I wasn't aware that you had access to his historical DNA? I'm pretty sure that we all date back to the plaines of Africa and by default we are all black. In addition the Caribbean is a totally diverse region due to the massive migration and integration over the last few hundred years as trading out posts. So, I am curious..what/who is black? The Buffalo Soldier or the 6th generation Caribbean? I haven't got a clue, but you sound like you have? More importantly, it shouldn't matter and in my eyes doesn't because I see every human being, well as a human being and not swatch on a colour chart. As I said before why do we insist on commenting on something we know nothing about? Can you be half Black? Is it not Mixed Race or Non White these days, I'm not sure myself #justasking
Smithers I only mention any of this due to Han claiming to be more black while at the same time claiming to be white. Quite honestly I should have known better than get drawn in by such an idiotic gambit.
To be fair mate it wasn't an attack on you (I apologise if it came across that way) - Race is a horrible topic.
I don't know how old some of your are but there are a few juveniles expressing their high and mighty opinions about Lewis Hamilton. When I was young the concern of us youths was the Vietnam war. B52's dropping more bombs on Hanoi on Christmas Day than was dropped by both sides during the entire WW2. Dropping Napalm on children. These days you seem to be more upset because a black guy say's he's black.
1. It does come across that way. It made me angry to read it considering the context of his reply, and I was all ready to come to eddie's rescue as if he were a damsel. Thankfully it seems the situation has been amicably resolved, so I don't need to pick apart what you've said, as a historian, archaeologist, and someone who studies genetics as a hobby. 2. It's not a horrible topic unless it's approached with the usual ignorance. 3. Addressing everyone, why, on Earth, do so many F1 forums revert to mentioning Lewis' colour without any real actual input? Well done us, we've noticed the only black guy in F1, is black. So? Unless someone was to infer racial supremacy from his victories, it's really an unlikely attribute to mention. Likewise, one can hardly counter that white complexions make better F1 drivers, because driving in motorsport typically requires at least a middle-class background and support system, a class-system still heavily weighted in the white-man's favour. If anything, his race is something to be celebrated, because it's a shift in politics and what can be achieved in the sport without serious self financed backing. But these things are rarely discussed...
