F1 2014

And that is caused by the development freeze. Rules made to control costs, not to ensure better sport.

The freeze + the unnecessary green rules do nothing for the racing at all.

Honda must be confident to be reentering F1. No idea how Ferrari or Redbull will go next year in terms of development to catch Mercedes. Going by F1 history, Mercedes will widen the gap.

Toro Rosso is a shitbox. Burns too much fuel while going slower than the others.

Great track. Rosberg's drive was amazing. Contrast what happened with Massa with a similar predicament and similarly fast car.

I liked the track but like all new tracks, mistakes aren't punished enough IMO.

Rosberg's drive wasn't amazing it was a one stopper with no tyre deg with the fastest car he was always going to get second.

Should of gave manufactures 2-3 years of development before a freeze, if Mercedes get a grip on some of their gremlins that have plagued them then next year Hamilton will have the championship in the bag quicker than Vettel ever did.

I think with Sochi, they could have considered adding 10 more laps. I don't think it'd be a 1 stop race then

He set a great pace, overtook many and made it to second with no tyre deg/managed tyre deg. this is what was amazing about it. Most other drivers would shred their tyres trying. Rosberg has again shown his ability to deal with adversity and succeed. Impressive, even in a merc.

Fuel was a big issue in this race for some, would have just made the gaps between cars even bigger.
