Rosberg won in Brazil ! Am I the only one who is surprised by this ? One more race at Abu Dhabi to finish the year.

Rosberg won in Brazil ! Am I the only one who is surprised by this ? Mercedes has taken it upon themselves to warm to Nico, and make sure he’s second placed in the Driver’s World Championship. Team decisions have recently been very much in his favour. Lewis has had to comply with team orders to pit at times when he may have felt a couple of “hammer time” quick laps would have given him the undercut instead. There’s also been the recent two week long celebrations that Lewis has enjoyed, culminating in the unfortunate car crash when driving home.

The Hammertime scenario was present at Brazil last weekend. Lewis had the call from his man to say Hammertime halfway through the lap then halfway round the following lap, received the call to box box box thus rendering Hammertime impossible.
Then there is the thing with the latest upgrades to the car, which are all geared towards 2016 and to suit Rosberg rather than Lewis.
Brazil was probably the most disappointing race of 2015 for me. Again, we had to look at the midfield for any glimmer of action.

Rosberg should have given Lewis hammer time by punting him off the track the other week when he made Rosberg bottle it and run wide. All this now means sweet FA Lewis was right when he said after the race that he achieved his goal this season.
I've been so bored with it at times this year that i hope the new regulations mix it up a bit for next year.
Does anyone have any details of what going to change for next year ?
If it ends up more of the same I feel I might drift away from it for the first time since the 07 and 08 snooze fests.

Sure thing, do you want a tip for a winner at Kempton Park ? I'd like to see Vettel finish the year with a win at Abu Dhabi, just to mix it up a bit. Hmm not confident on that one !

Anything is possible, though I suspect Lewis will be putting the record straight in the last race of 2015.

Seventh time at Adu Dhabi and the racing never gets any better Terrible circuit to have as the end of season last race. Thankfully no world championships were dependant on a result here. Still it has very good facilities, or so I'm told

When it was getting decent coverage I used to watch in preference to F1. The racing was so much closer and there was so much more jostling for position and overtaking. It was the same when watching DTM too.

Still it has very good facilities, or so I'm told Very disappointing race to end the season. Same story between Hamilton & Rosberg. Hamilton again complaining about the strategy he was given and not being allowed to complete the race without stopping for tyres. The team does seem rather Pro-Rosberg at the moment and Lewis appears to be losing the plot a little.
I've a feeling the Merc duo will have more than each other to worry about in 2016. Ferrari have really improved and many believe they will be right on the pace of Mercedes next year.
