The Motorsport Thread 2015

Next race is in Austin, Texas. Mexico comes after that, and the Mexico City track generally puts on a good race regardless of catagory racing.

I don't think Rosberg gets any extra support over Hamilton, he's just had slightly worse luck regarding reliability this year. Last year it was Hamilton who had the worst of it and he still won then, he's just generally a better driver.

I read in magazine Mexico is first and austin is last (I guess 3 race remain to end of season. If I mistake please correct me). Now about Rosberg. I mean Hamilton gets EXTRA support over Rosberg (IMO) not Roseberg over Hamilton. I don't agree with you about Hamilton. In last match, Vetel drive faster than Hamiton in last 1/3 of race. This is a opinion and as I said before I am Vetel huge fan.

I agree about vettel. I talk about this year not last year. I like vettel style. Hamilton or any other drivers win all of races , I am Vettel fan. Hamilton is a great driver with no dubt and He will win (he win) this season and he deserve to win. Honestly I am not his fan and I never forget Hungary race

Yeah, Hamilton had some problem with the rear wing (was told not to use the DRS at least) and since he was nearly 20s to the good he coasted to the finish. I don't think Vettel gets any preferential treatment at Ferrari either, he's an excellent driver and Raikkonen is so far past his best that it's not needed.

Most tracks have 2 DRS zones (some, like Monaco, have 1) down their longest straights and a driver can use it whenever they are within 1 second of the car infront at the detection point (which tends to be just before the preceeding corner) or at any time during qualifying. In the race the zones are active from the 3rd lap of the race onwards and are de activated during a safety car period or there's a yellow flag in the area of the DRS zone.

Looks like Mags will head elsewhere after this season, but will he land with another F1 team?  McLaren seems to be getting quite a bit of flack from this, but this is probably for the best for Mags' career, if he can get with another F1 team.

Great Race. Very exciting. Hamilton deserve to won this race. He showed his high skill level last night. Now he is 3 times world champion.

A very bittersweet day as the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup season and, more importantly, Jeff Gordon's career comes to a close.  He ended up finishing 6th and 3rd in the championship, but he's still retiring on top, as a champ and a legend.  Not too many drivers (or athletes, in general) can say that.  He can, though!

But, despite Jeff not winning the championship, I'm very pumped to say that Kyle Busch is now a NASCAR Sprint Cup champion!  He passed Keselowski on the final restart and drove away as Harvick moved to 2nd.  Coming back from injury and winning FIVE times and claiming his first Cup championship, he's very deserving of this.  And, having been a fan of his since before his Cup career got started and through all of the BS he's been involved in, I'm feeling vindicated for sticking with him.  Such an awesome day!

Have to agree with Hatman here, as excellent a driver as Busch is it's a bit of a joke that he's champion after missing a 3rd of the championship.

On a better note, Webber, Bernhard and Hartley won the World Endurance Championship at the weekend, just edging out Lotterer, Treluyer and Fassler for the title.

Wow. Been so busy with school, work, and trying to sleep in between I became a ghost.
