General / Off-Topic Lewis Hamilton F1 world champion 2014 !!
- Thread starter Sterlino
- Start date
Sad we couldn't have a proper battle with Nico due to the malfunctions, but a worthy champion.
Pleased that Hamilton won both the race and the Championship. I attended my First F1 race in 1968 and my first Can-am the same year. Love F1. But I must say that I was surprised that Hamilton, shot ahead of Rosberg at the start. Personally I would like to have that snake Rosberg in front of me at the start, so that HIS tires would be worried about MY front wing.
Agreed and I liked that Nico wanted to continue to the end. In the end he seemed quite humble about things. Hopefully next year the other teams are going to be a lot more competitive
Since we are talking F1, here is a performance of the Lotus team

2014 was an excellent season despite the dominance of one team. Mercedes did a good job of (just about) handling two very capable drivers and giving each a fair opportunity to win. Bahrain was an obvious highlight, with some of Hamilton's recovery drivers from the repeated disasters in qualifying back in July also making for exciting Sundays. I am glad to see there is no double points nonsense next year - it seemed unreasonable that Hamilton could have lost the title by coming third had Rosberg been able to extract a seventh win of the season to Hamilton's ten - eleven wins was an excellent total though, particularly with three of them requiring a pass under racing conditions in equal cars. I am hopeful that there will be more competition next season; Williams, Red Bull, hopefully McLaren Honda and Ferrari being in with a shout at race wins. I really hope Lewis has the tools to defend his title successfully this time though.
