Alonso must ram him off the track in Suzuka first

Well, they have done it to a three-time champion before so why not?

Well, they didn't do it to a two-time champion when he did just that throughout 2012 and 2013 did they?

But Vettel might well win Melbourne 2015, put in a couple of other underdog style performances, but be beset by technical failures, spend 2016 moaning a lot before announcing his retirement at the 2016 german grand prix.
And then ending up going to Williams and winning a world title.

Cos, you know, history just repeats itself that closely in F1.

Correction.

Vettel might win Malaysian 2015 (second round) after Hamilton knocks his front wing off while lapping an inattentive Marcus Ericsson just a few laps away from the chequered flag. This coming just a few weeks after Felipe Nasr stunned the F1 world by battling Hamilton for the win at Melbourne.

But like you said, F1 doesn't have a habit of repeating the past.

If you want to compare, this year the Mercedes team looked more like the McLaren team 1988. You know that one of them is goin to win the race, you just don't know who. So that can only mean that next year Rosberg will be champion, helped by Hamilton running into him in Suzuka chicane. Hamilton can continue but is disqualified, making Grosjean win the race and Rosberg is champ.

What a load of bollocks

The 'Info Wing' is a small carbon fibre component designed to fit to the top of an F1 car's airbox, where onboard cameras are usually mounted.

Hamilton Sr hopes the Info Wing will improve the spectator experience of F1 by using LEDs to display race information, such as a driver's name, position and the tyre compound they are using.

Certainly helps trying to keep apart the 50+ cars on track, racing in different classes.

I'm so glad they're working on the important things in F1.

I for one wanted this for years just like the rest of you.

Yeah, just like double points and ultra complicated restrictions on development.

Yeh, The info wing is like for Nascar...
In F1 there are a lot of info on the TV, and track about track positions,gap so its completley necessary..
And also from spectators track view you can clearly see who is who, tyre compound...

1 - Double points
2 - Driver designated numbers
3 - "InfoWing"
4 - Fuel usage display
5 - Driver - team radio communications
6 - Pay TV only
7 - Social media blackout
8 - Overpriced smartphone app
9 - Standing restarts

Just a few ways F1 is helping develop it's image and bring itself closer to the fans :roll:
