Max, darling, what happened to your 100%?

[What's Burning?]

Grumble grumble... I got 16 out of 20, this asked a few more obscure questions than I was able to get.

[What's Burning?]

Might as well include some of the 2014 doozy predictions.

GPUpdate 18 September 2014 – Ex-Formula 1 driver John Watson says he is expecting championship leader Nico Rosberg to gain an advantage over Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton as a result of the radio traffic clampdown.

From this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix, information about car or driver performance will be banned from pit-to-car radio messages and pit boards, with further restrictions to come at the following Japanese round.

Watson feels it would have been more suitable for governing body the FIA to delay the regulation change until the start of the 2015 campaign, arguing that certain drivers will find the transition much easier than others.

"The timing is not reasonable. It would have been appropriate to do this either at the start of the season, when the FIA probably wasn't fully aware of how it might develop, or wait until it is over," Watson told GPUpdate.net.

"In my view, the rule change will undoubtedly have a bearing on the outcome of the World Championship."

Watson reckons Rosberg, who currently leads Hamilton by 22 points in the standings, Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso plus Red Bull pairing Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo will prove to be the best at adapting.

"If you take away a lot of the, what you might call, 'driver assists' it's going to come down to those with the spare capacity. My assumption is [that will be] someone like Rosberg, Alonso, Vettel and possibly Ricciardo."

Expanding on the intra-team battle at Mercedes, five-time race winner Watson said: "In my thought, Rosberg is intellectually superior to Lewis. I would imagine that because of that he's going to gain an advantage.

"When Rosberg was at Williams as a junior, one of the things that made him stand out when they were doing assessments with other drivers was that he had this ability to absorb information and be able to use that.

"Lewis is a racer. He wears his heart on his sleeve. But I think he may suffer if there's an issue to be handled."

The last time I saw Lewis, the poor bugger was really suffering...as he collected his WDC trophy. I'm sorry for the poor b*stard! Will someone please help him lift and carry away all those trophies and Sportsman of the Year awards. His grief is too much to bare. I must look away now.

Was it Lewis who pressed the wrong ERS mode button when there was an issue to be handled, you definitely need spare capacity to work out that when trying to defend form an overtake MORE power is better than LESS power. Absorbing info and acting on it in assessments is much more usefull than doing it at 200mph in a wheel to wheel duel

Oh well maybe Nico just has a bigger 'thumb' than Lewis

[Hammer278]

Multilinguistic, mentally superior Rosberg probably got confused while doing some calculus at 200mph and slipped on the wrong button, it's all Lewis fault for being so dumb and focusing on racing.

[CookinFlat6]

The headline stat of the season was that in the first year of a fuel limited formula one man used less fuel and went faster than every other driver. That's what you call irrefutable evidence of the best driver/team synthesis
