Mercedes sign Rosberg on a multi year agreement.

Rosberg has a helmet made up to celebrate Germany winning the World Cup..........FIFA then say he can't wear it as it has a pic of the Trophy on it and it infringes on their intellectual property.

 

[Kenny]

Tad warm on the track in Germany. Temp of 60d! Hottest of the season so far.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh dear Lewis.

Hamilton's Qualifying woes go on. Crashes out of Q1.

Did get a time in, so will get be classed in Q2, but will be starting from 16th. He is saying brakes failed.

 

[Nando]

Unlucky, clear cut brake failure.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Scary stuff.

 

[ROVERT47]

F1 HD on Virgin now, nice!!

 

[Kenny]

Little bit of pressure on Rosberg - 5 laps and no proper time registered.

No doubt he will get a time when Q1 starts but a couple of mistakes from Rosberg.

 

[ROVERT47]

Shit!, just seen the replay, car fuck up surely.

Dealt with it pretty easily

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Maldonado failing to get out of Q1 again, beaten by a Marussia, fucking useless.

 

[Kenny]

So Hamilton will start 15th. Kick in the bollocks for him (Mercedes confirm it was a brake failure) but at least we will see some racing as he goes through those ahead of him. Damage limitation for him, just get some points and and hope the Williams can challenge Rosberg

 

[Kenny]

Rosberg on pole, Recovered well from his early errors.

Bottas came close though.

Really?

The fact 2 drivers are being allowed to race each other has made it a great season for me. If 1 driver was being let to get on with it, then I would agree.

Also, behind the Merc's it has been great to watch, especially seeing the Williams team coming back to the front end of the grid

 

[Freddeno]

Yeah far to boring for me when they are so dominant

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Mercedes dominance is a hell of a lot better than Red Bull dominance, or indeed Ferrari dominance in the days of Schumacher, as both drivers are allowed to go for it. The racing has been tremendous so far. Best season for some time for me.

You are getting cracking racing between two top drivers. Just because their cars have the same paint job I don't see an issue. The Senna-Prost duel in McLarens was an awesome season and nobody else got a look in that year.

has been some good races but i prefer more teams in it, easy to predict now almost every race
