  1. Team points doesn’t add up? Something wrong with calculator?:)

    1. @mysticus Not all of Max’s points were scored for RB some were for STR. This doesn’t mean anything really. F1 is slowly becoming more and more of a show it’s farcical how teams can get whatever they want from the race direction, 10 years ago everyone was busting Ferrari up but the situation these days has evolved to a USSR era! I don’t know how can they be all happy about when in a week the FIA and FOM take the first positive steps in over a year with more sensible and fair rules and then the stewards just act in their own interest.

      1. I understand that but still silly. Constructor points vs driver points are different things… So it doesn’t make sense… Like a soccer/football player scoring for team a, and then move to another team half season. His goals aren’t transferred to new team are they? This is dumb if they transfer his STR points to RB!

        1. What prevents a top team move his one of scorers to other child team to gain more points and share more money from F1… I dunno if this is the case currently or some mistake… Bcoz it doesn’t make sense a driver carries his points to constructor team points as well.

        2. They haven’t transferred points though. RB’s points as listed are correct.

          1. RB points equals
            DR: 133
            DK: 21
            MV: 102

            Total:256

            It really isn’t hard

  2. By now formula 1 should have already sorted some extra categories to the championship points.
    “Horner threatening the race direction points”, the “Bigot scale” and perhaps the “Constrivetors championship” “public popularity points” etc.

    1. You are extremely small-minded.

    I bet Force India will beat Williams.

    1. i bet hamilton will beat rosberg

    2. Force India having stopped their development, so it’s a case Williams developing their current and stay in front of Fi. But I would love to see force India beating them.

    3. Seems very likely to me too.

  4. Red bull* points?

  5. From a 43pts lead to a 19pts deficit in the blink of an eye, and with no major mechanical issues to blame…just terrible Nico, just terrible.

  6. It’s becoming clear how the teams championship will unfold.

    1 Mercedes
    2 Red Bull
    3 Ferrari
    4 Force India
    5 Williams
    6 McLaren
    7 Toro Rosso
    8 Haas
    9 Renault
    10 Manor
    11 Sauber

    Would absolutely love to see Force India finish fourth :)

    1. Would like force India to beat Williams fingers crossed. And then a question of what perez gonna do next.

      1. Well if he is in the fourth best car on the grid, maybe he should stay with Force India =P

    2. The current trend leads to your projection @paeschli, but then there is the input of the budgets: Williams is still developing their car whereas Force India have switched focused.

  7. Red bull points are correct, guess people forgot the first 4 races of the season ;)

  8. That MERC though…

  9. SF16-H a failed project.

  10. Last five races:

    Mercedes: 192
    Red Bull: 126
    Ferrari: 95
    Force India: 39
    McLaren: 20
    Williams: 15
    Toro Rosso: 13
    Haas: 6
    Manor: 1
    Renault: 0
    Sauber: 0

    The pecking order is changing…

    1. Reminds of the furore of the Ferrari fans when Keith published an article stating that RB was becoming the second team performance wise. The thing is, he was right…

  11. Not really a Rosberg fan, but I liked the aggression he showed this weekend. His pole lap was amazing, particularly the on-board. Then he recovered well after the bad start. Even his lunge on Verstappen I liked, only he has to be able to pull off those moves in a Hamilton-esque way. Very early in his F1 career Hamilton was penalized for that kind of lunge in Japan, albeit he left space, just not for the entire grid, which is what the stewards seemed to want at the time. Since then he’s been careful to ‘nurse’ rivals off track, turning into the corner enough to seem to make an effort and offer them a chance to brake or be run off by the time they’re exiting the corner. Or in Rosberg’s case, just nudging him off track anyhow. I kind off feel a bit sorry for Nico that he can never hit that balance between being too timid and too aggressive. He should take lessons from Jenson Button.

    I was thinking Coulthard as a coach.
