Official NOT606 2015 Malaysian GP Chat and Predictions

The rain yesterday washing away all the rubber has hurt Mercedes - that's one of the main reason they're shredding their tyres more than expected.

 

The reign of the silver moon is over.
Rejoice the red sun of the scuderia has risen.

 

And they put Hamilton on the HARDS. He's finishing 2nd/3rd lads.

 

Ham on hards again, just to confirm their weakness

 

Vettel doing fastest laps. Game set match unless he ****s up.

 

Hamilton ~1 second faster on that lap.

 

Lewis is heating up...

 

Jesus what happened to McLaren?

 

Not convinced that this is the case. Yet. These are unusual conditions for a race but Mercedes' weakness has been exposed. Winter testing wouldn't show something like this up. Plus, they messed up the strategy. Still, game on now for the season.

 

Well if they keep pulling these performances into Europe...

 

It appears that heat and/or humidity are their Achilles' heels. No problems in Aus. How many races have these conditions?

It does look like we'll have more of a championship fight, which is good given Rosberg's possible meltdown.

 

Force India and Nasr having a mare.

 

Yeah, I think the FI penalties were really harsh. God knows what has happened to Nasr, I was hoping for much more.

 

Starting to think Nasr's 5th in Oz was entirely due to others dropping out.

 

I would not want to be sat talking to Nando right now.

 

He's had a 'mare. That collision needing a new front wing ****ed things up near the start. I'm confident he'll have much better days. Again, maybe the conditions aren't suited to the car?

 

Only interesting battle left for this race is Massa vs. Bottas

 

Austria?

 

And Hungary also has the summer heat; but is it the humidity that has done it for them today? We'll have to wait and see...

 

The only bad thing about Vettel winning is the finger.
