“But I know I’ve got the pace, so I’m gunning to turn that around this time”.

The tricky and flowing nature of the Hungaroring makes it a favourite of many drivers, who often compare its layout to that of a go-kart track.
“It is complete bulls**t, all the radio issues we have is a joke”, fumed the Ferrari ace.
“This circuit is quite different from the last few we’ve been to, so I’m looking forward to heading back to Hungary next weekend”, said the 2009 World Champion.
“Now things have been clarified once more, we really need to stick literally to the wording that he [FIA race director Charlie Whiting] has allowed us”, said Rosberg pragmatically of the changes.
Romain Grosjean will stay with Haas as a stepping-stone team to a possible Ferrari contract in 2018, Pascal Wehrlein is nearly certainly guaranteed his seat at Manor as a Mercedes-certified junior driver, and Valtteri Bottas remains one of the paddock’s best-rated drivers with an affordable price tag.
Declaring “the honeymoon period over”, Whiting’s statement made it clear that “with the indication of a problem with the vehicle, any message of this kind (Rosberg’s “shift through it” from Silverstone) must include an irreversible instruction to enter the pits immediately to rectify the problem, or retire”. I think we’d all prefer not to have to have that system, but we do have to have that system.
“Let’s go back to V12s, manual gearbox, just two buttons, one for pit speed limiter and one for radio and just confirm that we’re coming in”.
“I think it was the human being in our sport, that is arguably very complicated and technical, so I think it’s the wrong way”.
“During the race, and in accordance with article 27.4 of the sporting regulations, any driver who is judged to have left the track three times at these corners (when counted cumulatively) will be shown a black and white flag”, said the FIA in a note to the teams.
Red Bull Racing driver Daniel Ricciardo (3) of Germany speaks to the media after finishing in third place in the 2014 U.S. Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas.
“If you look at the 1995 steering wheel, for example, or speak to a lot of the experts that are still around in the paddock, what they’ve raced with, it was a lot simpler because the cars’ technology was simpler”.
The FIA has also ruled that teams can only instruct drivers about settings in the auto if it is to fix a critical problem and not to enhance performance.
