ignoring the rights or wrongs of Rosberg on pole for a moment, surely the end result is that we have a race on our hands (presuming of course that there's no repeats of some earlier battles)
Surely, what we all REALLY want to see, is some hard, fair, wheel-to-wheel racing, preferably without either car going off.
Do we really believe that Mercedes internal rules actually allow for that? For all the talk, there is very little evidence to suggest it is permitted. Quite the opposite, in reality.Surely, what we all REALLY want to see, is some hard, fair, wheel-to-wheel racing, preferably without either car going off.

Could be a good race today.

The 107 investigation almost seems like a smokescreen, but in the end I can't see how they could have made any other decision on Rosberg.
But, in the next race they must do something about the double yellow rule.
In this case I don't think marshals were on the track, but doubles can cover them being on track and as such, surely they must set a max speed in a double yellow zone ?
I think that's inevitable now.But, in the next race they must do something about the double yellow rule.

Ok, watched GP3 and GP2 after the first lap bumps that was it,
From the commentators point of view the highlight seems to be if drivers go off track at turn four, nothing else to talk about, this track is past its sell by date
Let's count the on track overtakes in F1
You're expecting some then?From the commentators point of view the highlight seems to be if drivers go off track at turn four, nothing else to talk about, this track is past its sell by date

Nico can't and Hamilton just ignores orders and goes for it.Sadly I think mercs race being decided by nicos corsa-on-roudabout racecraft is pretty likely.

Unlikely with Nico behind the wheel. Surely, what we all REALLY want to see, is some hard, fair, wheel-to-wheel racing, preferably without either car going off.
He'll either crash into Lewis or make a mistake

I appreciate your point and it is a good one.
But...For all the tons of criticism he gets, Hamilton will often say ''I messed up''. As does Vettel, regularly. Ricciardo has only this week said, graciously, that Max has pushed him hard and beat him fairly. Even Max, at his young age, was asked about his ability and he said that he is still learning, has a long way to go yet and appreciates being in a team with a driver as good as Ricciardo.
I find NR to be very straightforward in admitting when he has been beaten by the better man. I have no horse in the merc race.But...For all the tons of criticism he gets, Hamilton will often say ''I messed up''. As does Vettel, regularly.

For Rosberg to make a preposterous statement, as he did, that ''Everyone knows I have been the best driver in the first half of the season'' is just pushing it beyond the realm of credibility (which appeared to be the reaction when he made the remark).
would you prefer to drop the points system, and have the title awarded by, say, a committee of LH fans? Smollet said:

Not at all. I think you are exaggerating things just a tad there Sounds like you do have a horse in the Merc race.
