F1 2014 Spanish GP

[Monster]

Haven't really seen this level of domination since exactly 10 years ago when Ferrari produce that F2004, The most disappointing team so far is Mclaren..well done Sam Michael, well done for dragging another team down.

Not even the f2004 was that dominant, if hamilton did not get a dnf the first race that wouldve been another 1-2 for mercedes. I think williams in 1992 was close, or mclaren 1989 season.

I hated ferraris strategy this race, which helped alonso more, they still prove that they are full of $h*t. And treat alonso like hes the hero when the last time they won a championship was with kimi. Comon be fair

Yes, pitting Alonso first despite Kimi being in front was BS. No wonder they will never win a damn thing.

Anyway damn DVR didn't record it, but caught bits and pieces of it on sky sports online. Looked like a boring race except for Hamilton vs Rosberg and Vettel's charge. I am guessing some still have delusions he can't race from behind.

Both driver's were initially on different stop strategies.
Alonso is indeed the hero. If it wasn't him they wouldn't even be making it into top 4 in the last few years.
I love Kimi but the win in 2007 was more of a Mclaren's mistake and thus a total surprise for many.

^it is you..

this season is far more interesting than the last Redbull dominance and before that the Ferrari dominance era..

Why? Some of you might say that its the same with this mercedes dominance.. but the difference is that back in the ferrari days they used team orders so there was no internal battle, and with redbull vettel was always to strong for his team mate.

Atleast we have a battle inside the team..

The last few laps were thrilling..

I've posted a link to where it is said F1 viewers declined by 50 million viewers = 10%

Reasons given by several people:
- engine sound;
- the lack of overtaking;
- F1 live coverage from public to commercial TV stations;
- stronger interest in social media.

The lack of overtaking? There has been plenty of on track overtaking this year.

The lack of overtaking? There has been plenty of on track overtaking this year.

This is what Flavio Briatore said:

“What we have now is not formula one. Formula one is something else. The audience is clearly enjoying it a lot less, because there are cars that do not make much noise. There are drivers who save fuel, drivers who only do ‘fake’ overtaking when their wing flap is open. Drivers who are doing their accounting in the car rather than being gladiators.
