That's a fair point. I was thinking of Lewis and Seb during the past 3 or 4 years. I've been watching every F1 season since I was a kid. Hard to believe that LH's rookie season was 7 years ago now. I still think of him as a relatively young driver.

Part of me thinks that F1 management had some backroom deals with Mercedes when they were dreaming up the rule changes.

This

it was pretty much set the last year/two that Merc bought this season
and getting away with the testing last year pretty much confirmed it for me

Feels like it's been forever since the last race

Hamilton/Rosberg top 2 (surprise surprise)
Vettel with problems all weekend, starting 15th tomorrow

lol @ that performance difference

i was like notbad.jpg when Riccardo was only .100 off of Hamilton's time.. then they put on a fresh set and actually pushed, over 1 second+ quicker

and to know most teams have been testing with new parts since they're closer to home the past few weeks too

seasons a total write off

Anyone awake and watching?

Me

Mercedes advantage in 5 laps :ahwow: :fullofwin:

Edit: MALDONADO PENALIZED FOR CAUSING A COLLISION :lawl: x20

LOL fucking Maldonado man..

So this season is pretty much going to be the fight for the last podium spot and for second place in constructors championship. LOL.

Lmaooooo...Rosberg looks like he's gonna murder Hamilton :lol

Crashtor gonna Crashtor , good drive by Vettel

Lol, it felt like I was waiting forever before I saw Ricciardo finally cross the finish line & I couldn't believe it when I saw the silver arrows pass Raikonen near the end of the race.

I was hoping Rosberg would catch & pass Hamilton though.

^ Rosberg is a very skillful driver who can drive fast laps. He was faster at Bahrain and Spain but doesn't have the killer instinct to pass. From what I have been reading, it seems like Rosberg is benefitting allot from analyzing Hamilton's data.

Lapped cars up to P7 :eek:

I hope Rosberg can take the fight to Hamilton. Otherwise its gonna be a boring season.

wow, rip

won in his own designed/built car :buttrock:
didn't know he was knighted for his racing talent, seems a bit odd lol

The picture with the Lotus mechanic face palming than walks away when Pastor crashes :lol :lol :lol

LOL HAM

LOL ROS

WOO RIC

Ham during the interview was basically accusing Ros of cheating

oh being officially investigated now i hear (ros)

fuck i forgot to watchhhh

!!!!! sounds lulsy

Rosberg not gonna get penalized, guy shouldn't have been celebrating the way he did

something like the last 9/10 races in Monaco has been won by the pole, and the 1/10 is Hamilton so theres hope

Rosberg keeps pole after investigation 24 May 2014

Nico Rosberg has retained pole position for Sunday's race in Monaco after the stewards decided that his off-track moment during the third and final part of qualifying did not require further action.

The Mercedes driver faced investigation after sliding down the escape road at Turn 5 (Mirabeau) during his final flying lap, bringing out yellow flags that prevented those behind - including team mate Lewis Hamilton - from improving.

Rosberg held provisional pole at the time of the incident, with his first run having produced a lap just five-hundredths of a second faster than Hamilton's.

Rosberg subsequently apologised for his mistake, while Hamilton insisted he had been "on target" to beat the German to pole before being forced to abandon his lap.

"The stewards examined video and telemetry data from the team and FIA and could find no evidence of any offence related to the turn 5 incident," read a statement from the stewards.
