I was planning to buy a Merc.
Posted 26 July 2014 - 14:08
Not only does Lewis' retirement ruin his championship chances, it also ruins the specticale of seeing 2 great drivers racing hard for the win...

When Hamilton says "Beyond bad luck" he could just be referring to 'unacceptable incompetence' rather than conspiracy like some are implying

I know someone who owns a Merc, an old one at that and right now I hate him and his stinking red car that never seems to breakdown.

Anyone else watch 2014 F1 thinking this was going to be a walkover by Hamilton?

And can I just say, I think it's wholly ridiculous to cry conspiracy, but I think it's completely naïve to not be ever, ever so slightly wary.
If you look everywhere in the blogospere or medias, this is the first thing on people's mind. Mercedes will have a terrible PR fight ahead of them over the summer break.

Lovely words from Alex.
We all talk about Lewis' bad luck, but what about Alex? The thing is he seems to have a great life despite his injuries and no-one can say how things would have turnout for him had that horrific accident not occurred, he may have ended up worse off a few races down the line. He strikes me as someone who used that terrible experience to grow and perhaps become a better person.

It got a reply:
.@lxznr Thank you so much for all your support Alex, I won't give up!!

I am gonna quote myself
What really matters now is to see how much damage has the Power Unit, the gearbox, the ERS system and the batteries.

I would never buy a Merc, nothing to do with racing, having worked on them for more years than i care to remember
Posted 26 July 2014 - 14:25
So couple new thoughts from me.
merc's tweet's seems a windup, very unsavoury.
and lewis if he did say it (based on earlier post) that its beyond bad luck I am very glad he said that, he needs to say these things in public.

Always admired Zanardi, it takes real balls to get back and race again after what he went through

Certain fact the majority of posts on FB and Twitter are pretty pissed off with Merc, could cost them if they don't get a handle on it and the jokey comments on FB from merc did them no favours at all

I find it hard to believe some people within mercedes F1 would conspire to sabotage Hamilton, for one thing it could lead to manslaughter!
I do wonder what Hamilton has done to the racing Gods to deserve such misfortune? Maybe the plan is for him to get his luck at the last GP of the season when double points are up for grabs?
According to the News of the world astrological yearly forecasts its a good time for cancerians which Rosberg I believe is! Something to do with Jupiter?
Slipping a little further into conspiracy mode I met a guy before the British GP... 'I know I know havent we all'
Anyway this guy 'worked' at McLaren. I asked him what he thought about this season and he said
"Mercedes are going to stitch up Hamilton so a German driver wins the championship, dont get me wrong" he said "Rosberg is the real deal but Hamilton wont win it"
I guess we will have to wait and see. Meanwhile I shall enjoy Hamiltons efforts tomorrow.
Honestly i don't find it hard at all, Ferrari certainly made sure that MS was going to win if anyone did down to the infamous changing of places on the track, its happened before and no doubt it will happen again, maybe Merc are that stupid, who knows but they sure ain't helping themselves at the moment,

Calm down you all!
Lewis made mistakes, team made mistakes, it is all still out there to be decided.
Keep believing!

I love these kinds of posts.... that start out with "I'm too smart and rational to believe in conspiracies" .... but end with swivel eyed dark mutterings

My point is, it's not impossible . There are way too many weird possibilities.

"He would have been fastest today and won the race no question"
Its getting disgusting that Mercedes GP can only provide one of their drivers with a reliable car. The jury is still out on which party was responsible for the disc failure at Hockenheim.
Rosberg is definitely gliding on this one, beating his team-mate in everything but a straight fight.
Posted 26 July 2014 - 14:38
I must admit if I was Hamilton I wouldnt let anyone touch my car between FP3 and Q1 from now on
I'd advocate him not allowing anyone to touch it after FP2, a few times this season overnight tweaking has given him a duff setup.

Yeah but he'd have to sleep in the car. After FP3 is easier to enforce.

I'm sure the FIA will allow him to bring a sleeping bag and sleep next to the car.

It was a bit of a brave call by Niki since Nico was right up there with his race pace and put in a very fast lap when it mattered but I guess there's no point looking back into the past

Jacques Villeneuve recently said “Lewis Hamilton will not be at Mercedes for long. Everyone in the German team wants a German to be world champion. Lewis was only brought in to make Nico [Rosberg] even better.”........its starting to look like he knows what he's talking about.

He has access to much more info than you or the media. If he thinks Lewis would have won, then I believe him.
Posted 26 July 2014 - 15:01
Quite heartwarming. I hope he tears it up tomorrow.
Be nice if this had happened on a track that wasn't as bad as Monaco in the overtaking stakes.

I wouldn't use even but by what we have seen so far it certainly looks that way.

Just realised what you meant, but if you take all FPs into account Lewis had time in hand over Nico. It would have been pole for Lewis barring any problems.
