Formula 1 2016: Round 21 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Ghost Train

Hope Max stays out a while slows up those behind him for Rosbergs sake

Cool_CM

Jaysus, that slow motion replay... Fair fücks to Nico for pulling that off!

bnt

That was great from Nico, taking quick advantage of Max being just a little off line. Good thing Max was awake this time and didn't take them both out ...

skipper_G

I don't think anybody can Rosberg's bottle after that pass. Could have ended in disaster

Ghost Train

fastest lap for Rosberg

AMKC

Go Rosberg great pass on Verstappen. Take that Verstappen.

NATLOR

Well brave from Rosberg fair play

Hope Ferrari don't slow the Mercedes stops like last time, they're still in that range like before

He's got a lot more edge and confidence to his driving this season. Had that happened last season or the season before, I suspect both cars would be out.

Lake1989

Red Bull getting clean stops with no delays. Could be critical

Ghost Train

Mercedes might want to wait till Ferrari have done their stops first

safety car would feck it up for Mercedes though, so better pit soon

CFlat

Mad Max is coming!

kopite386

Riccardio passing Perez who is holding up Raikkonen - Red Bull strategy working so far

Slattsy

Cant wait to see Verstappen in a Ferrari.

jonbravo

One stop for nico!!!

kopite386

Riccardio setting fastest lap and getting closer to Verstappen - hope he overtakes him

Ghost Train

Looked like very fast stop for Niko

Mech1

yes great stop for Nico

Rossi IRL

Vettel to slow down Hamilton?

kopite386

So who are we all thinking as Driver of the Day ?

Paris Hilton nodding but with a look on her face that says I have no idea what's going on.

Ghost Train

Wonder will we see some wheel to wheel racing between the Mercedes cars, Hamilton doesn't have much to lose

Mike Litoris

Ghost Train

Interesting radio call

Rossi IRL

Gizmo55

Here we go, backing up time.

Itssoeasy

Fair play to jenson for that interview on sky.

Cool_CM

Has Lewis given up? Or is he trying to back Nico into the Red Bulls?

Grim.

Lewis has gone full manchild

Lake1989

Hopefully next years new regulations make it better. This is like watching traffic on the m50 from a bridge. One car after another

Nico Rosberg so far but there is still 21 laps that could change.

TheDoctor

How is Lewis being a man child?

Ghost Train

Rosberg with DRS soon ?

Don't forget vans, trucks and buses

Hamilton to try to take out Nico?

That's what I hate about the driver of the day vote opening when there is so many laps to go

Rossi IRL

Its just the standard hate on here.

What he is going is perfectly acceptable. He is after all trying to win a world championship.

Id drawn the line at contact but what he is doing now is fair in my book.

bnt

I disagree - it's a bit of a chess game at the front at the moment. Both Mercs have to make those tyres last till the end, and at the same time the team does not want to risk their drivers taking each other off. The risk of a safety car at this point is low but not zero.

Yeah it's like picking the album of the year with nearly two months left in the calendar year.

maybe, if Rosberg sees the red bulls in his mirrors he might have a go at passing hamilton
