Getting very tired of the 2 brats at Mercedes

[oyster]

It's getting silly.

They have the most dominant car I've ever seen in my time watching F1.
They are re-writing the record books and amassing stats that they would never have dreamed of a few years ago.
Each of them only has to turn up and beat one driver to win a race or a championship.

And all they appear to do is snipe and moan and whinge.
And their teamwork is in doubt too (Lewis, for example, trying to get the stewards to demote a Mercedes from pole).

The episode in the post-race interview in Hungary was embarrassing. I couldn't help but see a smiling Ricciardo there and wish him to the top step.


Please, please smile boys. Or let someone else win.

This is nothing, have a look at the late 80s when McLaren were on top, there was, how can it be put? Not much love lost between Senna and Prost. See also Mansell and Piquet at Williams in 86 and 87.

I think a lot of F1 fans have no idea of the history of the sport they follow. The OP going by this thread seems to be one of them

I grew up on a diet of watching Piquet, Mansell, Senna & Prost. 2016 is my 35th season of being an avid F1 fan - not as many as some on here, but more than you're expecting Smollet.

the Op possibly does not support NR/LH/Merc and is sick and tired watching them win all the time. Nothing wrong with that. Both drivers can be pretty snide when they win and cry like babies when they lose. If you aren't a supporter it all looks rather feeble, for the money they're paid.

Actually the fact they are relatively evenly matched on most race weekends and that Toto/Niki allow them to race is a godsend compared to the Ferrari noughtie days. I just wish they'd look a bit happier with winning. If DR can be that happy coming third, surely the 2 ahead of him can at least muster a smile. And the avoidance of each other on the podium is infantile.
