Not a particularly great race, the DRS in particular seemed so OP. Would've been nice to see Lewis without his issues, or at least let the team tell him what he needed to do. I get the rule some of the instructions the drivers were getting were ridiculous, but it denied us a more interesting race here.

Great race by Perez, possibly helped by Kimi's problems but it doesn't take anything away from his performance. Hopefully Force India can keep this up.

Need to see the full incident again, but seemed pretty clear cut Rosberg was in the wrong and with Rosberg the only one under investigation seems the FIA feel it was pretty clear cut too. Almost looked Schumacher-esque driving clean into the side of him, the team say he had brake issues but Niki Lauda was hinting at something else, obviously didn't clean come out and say anything, but for sure I need to watch it again.

I find it strange if there was serious issue with the brakes they couldn't tell the drivers, surely that would come under safety. I think with the pit stops Lewis possibly could've one stopped, but Vettel's incident spooked them and they played it safe, that and Lewis had two poor stops and a poor out lap.

All that to the side a good race and a great race from Jenson expected him to fall so much further back, helped by others having issues mind, but still great stuff.

German fans being bad losers. How surprising.

Rosbeeg clearly had problems and clearly in the wrong. Also Mercedes favouring Rosberg in the race pit timings. I suspect Rosberg will be penalised. Suck it up losers.

Truth

 

I always get so frustrated watching sports here in Germany. Everyone from interviewers and commentators down are so biased towards their countrymen. It's downright annoying and off putting, and often makes me dislikes people I generally have nothing againstjust because I'm so sick of hearing about them, only them, and how great they are at stuff.

It's unbearable

That happens in every country. Fellow contrymen are always better/deserve to win more than the others.

It's sad, but it's a common thing.

Just watching interviews now, really Rosberg? You're surprised that Lewis turned into you even when video coverage shows that Lewis left more than enough room and you didn't turn into the corner on purpose to force Lewis off the road? When he blatantly lies like that what else can we trust he says from other races? Did he run off on purpose in Monaco qualifying to bring out yellows and destroy Lewis' lap last year? Did he clip Lewis' wheel on purpose to give him a puncture in last years race?

This guy is not genuine and will cheat his way to the top.

Well no....it doesn't happen in every country. Certainly not to the same extent. That's why I find it particularly frustrating here. I grew up mostly in the US, and the way they cover sports over there is just so much more professional, frankly. Now you can make the argument to me that most of the major sports we watch over there are "All American," which is true to a degree, but there's still many international players competing in them (more every year really), and the media there always props them up. You never get the sense they're just talking about them for a minute, cus they have to, but would much rather be talking about the next best American doing the same thing. The only things that matter are performance, and character. 

Now obviously it's different when it comes to the Olympics, because that's literally all about country, but outside of that, I assure you sports coverage in the US is vastly different from at least what it is here in Germany. I don't know what it's like in other countries, as I have no reference there.

 

 

And watching F1 over there was like the greatest thing ever, because even though they briefly had Scott Speed in there (who even they didn't give a shit about), they had absolutely no horses in that race so to speak lol. All you got was raw reporting and coverage from people that were clearly into the sport. 

Here all I get is Vettel this, Vettel that, Rosberg won again...that's nice....too bad he's not Vettel though. Oh look it's the first lap of the race, let's do some championship calculations for our Germans if the positions hold like this. Who cares if we're just getting started. Oh look a non German screwed up! Ha! What a loser! Oh shit Vettel made a mistake.....I mean...no....not a mistake...he uhm....was just trying everything he could do make the car go faster and it failed him. Fucking car. 

I mean seriously. The coverage could not be more shit here

From what I've heard (I haven't lived in the US, so I don't have first hands experience), in the US most sports are seen as an entertainment, and treat them more "lightly".

From your words, in Germany it's like here in Spain, "journalists" mostly focus on the competition part and they only care about the country teams/athletes and about winning the rest.
