Hamilton or Roseberg?

[cookiemonster]

Hamilton won't settle for second place. Even if he could sit behind Rosberg all through the race and take the championship the easy way he won't settle for that.He's probably going to come first-if Rosberg doesn't attempt to 'accidently' puncture Hamilton's tyre when he attempts to pass him.

Or something 'accidentally' happens to Hamilton's car

HOLD THE FRONT PAGE!!!!

Roseberg's car is losing power!!!

It seems the KERS system has failed.

Rosberg looks like he has a problem.

I don't really have any interest in F1, but started watching the coverage... exciting!!! Fires and everything!

I liked the Lotus engineers laughing at their car going up in flames. Renault engines have let Lotus down badly this season and they're being ditched for next year. Fitting end.

Wow, pitstops are mental!

They used to be worse when the engineers were allowed to fill the cars up with fuel at the same time as the tyres being changed. Some pretty mental scenes at times.

If F1 was a totally new concept, invented today, but with all the knowledge, expertise and materials available, and the cars were built today, would they be the same shape/design as they are?

The fueling/no fueling thing has and hasn't been on and off a couple of times that I can remember, more attempts at the time to manipulate racing to even things out. Same thing as with DRS really.

I've just lost my only 15ml spanner, do you think they might lend me one?

'Hamilton is in the driving seat'
of course he is

Nah, much more streamlined, not as many wings I think. Definatly the drivers cockpit would be covered to decrease drag for a start.

 

[Fnaar]

So do they try to perfect an imperfect design?

Probably end up looking more like the Le Mans prototype cars. But then then all race classes have to conform to the relative construction rules which will ultimately dictate what they look like.

Strangely enough, the Formula E cars, which are a bit of a restart, don't have an enclosed cockpit. There's far more streamlining in front for the front wheels though.
