[What's Burning?]

if you're a white person in South Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama it's a requirement.

That Zipperman or Zimmerman whatever wasn't white?

I think it's compulsory in the deep south even if you're black

I watched this video again, and geez he really believes that Lewis should have moved over and let him by.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Whitmarsh would find Nico's pose in that video.....highly "disturbing".

"Dan the Man" there's a happy ending.

That's what gets me, the radio messages during the race were understandable but you'd think by the end of the race and definitely afterwards that he'd have some idea.

First time I heard Lewis saying the line "If he gets close to me....he can overtake."....sounds like he was having a coffee while saying it.

Guess you didn't know Germans sulk for a bit if they don't get their own way

My favorite line is Lewis saying, he can't imagine his tires lasting another twenty laps. Translation, tell Nico to SUCK IT UP. Nice way to turn the table on the "request".

[CookinFlat6]

Nico finds the timing of the SC strange - no mention or reference to the equally strange timing the previous race

Then Nico says he had brake problems dropping him back, but forgets to say he just couldnt overtake after

Then Nico says they picked the wrong strategy the 3 stop with last stint on options was worse than the 2 stop with primes?

then

"Lewis was told to give me my toy back but he didnt so thats not good"

and the grande finale

"I almost overtook on last lap, he was fair as he was on inside, yet I only needed another 30 cms to pass, he was lucky to have given me precisely the amount of space he did and not 30 cm more, he couldnt have planned that, surely no one has that good race craft????"

[Hammer278]

Yeah I found that part really 'blonde'...if there was an extra 30cm extra to work with, surely Lewis would've taken it anyway?

[What's Burning?]

He's really annoyed at that... the mental fortitude of Nico must be so strong to be able to withstand such adversity. Oh well, he's still ahead of the championship in point, he's had one less DNF and no problems whatsoever in qualifying... erm, well one "problem" in qualifying but let's not go into that one.

At least Nico has the driving talent and skill to have used one less PU across the board than Lewis since he's managed to keep his car from going ablaze. The championship is almost in the bag.

'Legacies on the line'...the Merc pair this year......

[racechick]

Good read Ang! Some pertinent points there! But when the author says 'Nurburgring' , I think he means, Hokenheim! Were you actually there author!

'Legacies on the line'...the Merc pair this year......

Good read but that could depend on reliability, if one suffers significantly more than the other and it's the deciding factor then I dont think it would be so damaging to the one losing out.
