I have not forgotten his contributions to this team, and I think a lot of fans have short memories.

He is toxic and I have never like him (proud and arrogant) you think he was not aware of crash gate that got his manager banned from F1 for life?? He mocked Ferrari when he left saying that he will win with Mclaren, so let him stick with them.

very true, but mercedes are usually cocky when they have some merit behind their progress so maybe they have found their golden egg but its not yet hatched or something, hopefully we got some ferrari guys in a bunker developing during this long break too that can show some new progress when at Spa

Get Reliance Jio sim, there is an app called Jio TV which is probably the largest live TV app in the world. If you have Jio SIM, you can watch around 500 live channels for free, HD included.

Once you have Jio SIM:

1) Go to Play Store / App Store and download these 2 steps - Jio TV and Hotstar
2) Fire up Jio TV and look for "Star Sports Select HD 2", click it and you will be redirected to Hotstar where you will be able to watch live streaming. Don't open Hotstar standalone because only via Jio TV it's free.

Here is the official channel link to keep an eye on the schedule http://tvguide.starsports.com/ You can watch all practice sessions + qualifying + race live.

70 years old Kimi, I am sure he will retire when his son is ready to take his seat

Hi Chinmay

Sorry to bother. I just tried to check how the apps look like on my samsung android phone and searched Jio Tv and hotstar and it comes up with many options mainly for cricket. If possible could you post how the app looks? and is it different because I am trying with a sim card here in New Zealand. Will it be different on the jio sim? Thanks

See you at the races Niki!

Sainz to replace Alonso for 2019

Guys, it's been almost a month.

I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last race, yet so much apprehension for the next race, because it is a must-win.

i'm not too worried, we have a FAST car, and with the upgraded engine we're going to have in SPA i'm sure Ferrari will be even quicker

Luise just got lucky in Hungary due to WET quali, otherwise Vettel would have gotten Pole if it was dry and probably would have won the race on sunday

The important word here is "just", the thing is Hamilton is getting lucky since he made his debut, in 2014 Rosberg was easily leading the championship but then back to back failures put Hamilton in the lead and he won the title.

One on one, Hamilton is not good enough to fight top drivers but then luck comes in and he always finds himself in P1.

**Brembo** · 16th August 2018, 06:14

Lewis besides driving is able bring on a wet quali when he needs it, dry when he want's it. That advantage and his actual avoiding mistakes is part of his chances as a future F1 great. Oh! And he's able to get luck on his side.

Me too

seeing that rat hamilton leading is disgusting, aw well lets hope less mistakes from seb and the pitwall, pitstops too! and if they get kimi to play the team game like bottas has done since race 1 then ferrari might beable to catch up. matched cars this year, although ferrari weaker in rain/wets

Was rewatching this yesterday

wanted to see a glorious win at Monza from the legend MS
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1443vb
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1456uu

lol lots of similarities, cars were just about matched (mcl/fer)
Mika leading Schumi
Mcl leading ferrari
Insane start
Rubens kimi-esque with the horrible start leaving mika free to get to Schumi
Schumi legendary driving to victory and the amazing fans at the end

with the schumi jump
Good times, ferrari's pitwall was in a league of its own those days

i was thinking about this, it is okay if it rains on Saturday the next 2 races. Our car is fast enough, and the tracks allow passing, we should still be able to win from 3rd or 4th on the grid. It just can't rain on Sundays.

Obviously, I'd prefer hot and dry races.

And a 1-2 puts Vettel 14 points down I believe. So that's right back in the thick of it.

And yes, it is alarming how lucky Hamilton gets. Since his debut. I've never seen anything like it.

Yes, Hamilton did avoid mistake in Montreal where he got superb pole position or Monaco where his breathtaking performance put him on front row or Austria where his excellent tyre management allowed him to overtake Vettel despite running on slower and older tyres.

Sainz officially at Mclaren?? next year

Man, just to glorify Seb you’re really putting down Hamilton. You are talking about 2014? Probably Hamilton had Lion’s share of bad luck yet he came out in top. Let me remind you, Canada- brake failure DNF, Germany- started 12th due Quali accident, Monaco- Rosberg deliberately locked up in Q to deprive him of Pole, Belgium- Rosberg hit Hamilton from behind while he was in lead, Hungary- Engine issues, started from Pit lane. After all this he still came out as WDC. I don’t like Hamilton one bit but you’re on another level really
