F1 2016 Season with Fantasy League see Threadmark

A very entertaining start but a bit of a drab middle and end for me.

Vettel was the driver of the day I thought though he was a) fortunate twice and b) in a serious advantage over the rest of the field when he was picking through them by being in the 2nd best car on the track today - when he wasn't playing bumper cars. He still did what he had to do and generally picked his moments well.

I like Vettel, looks like a cool, funny guy. But this time, I don't think Kvyat did much wrong.

Agree. I like him but he wasn't right. He overcompensated with his movement. In his mind (without replays) taking the safe approach is always the right move but when he sees the replay from above, he'll know that he could have still been safe enough to avoid a collision either side while maintaining track position somewhat.

Also agree. He is spoiled but being a dominant champ like he was probably ingrains that in you. The Webber incident years ago does still bug me about Seb too - another incident in support of your comment.
 
I'd give Ricciardo driver of the day for sure, such a shame he got that puncture.
 
Most of you will know , I have never liked him , he throws his toys out more than Lewis does when things go wrong.
He is an excellent driver of that I agree and I suppose it is just part of his driving, I have seen him on TV and he is actually quite funny, just his action today are IMHO out of order and just plain wrong.
 
Nico's a really nice guy, charismatic guy. Same could be said for the other Nico too (Hulk) tbh.
 
This was a terrible week to drop both of the Ferrari drivers for Hamilton in my Fantasy Team. :(
 
Didn't see it live, but watched the replay. Good race. Hamilton's nightmare is going on. Very surprised at how well the Red Bulls did in this race. Could have been even better, but for that puncture.
 
Clutch issues, gear box issues, engine issues and bizarre pit stops, been very 2015 for Lewis so far. Some are gonna say Mercs are up to something but I don't think it is, just bad luck. Depends on what Lewis we get from now on, I really hope it isn't the sulky one. Hopefully he knuckles down and does what it takes to win.

Can't say I'm upset about him being happy with his driving atm, he was so down last year......still being a Lewis fan, I hope Rosberg's current form over Lewis is short-lived. Talent will out though, so still backing Lewis to come out on top in the end. Will be one hell of a fight though.

The boldest strategy choices have come from Red Bull and Haas who have picked 10 sets of supersofts for the Russian GP, with just two sets of softs and one set of mediums for their drivers.


The Haas VF-16 proved to be kind on its tyres at the Australian and Bahrain GPs in the hands of Romain Grosjean, although they did struggle with Pirelli's mandatory tyre pressures in China, which many drivers felt were too high.

:lol: Brilliant to see. Hard not to like both Massa and Riccardo. I expect big things from Felipinho.
