How many of you are following the F1 championship this year? The last couple of years have been very similar to the Supercross championships in terms of domination, but with the 4-time defending champion Vettel out of the hunt this year wide open between the Mercedes boys Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg...
So what do you think of the season so far, and who do you think deserves to take the crown this year?

Sunday was weird,after warm up plus all the practice and qualifications nicos steering wheel won't communicate with the car.
1st thing i thought was sabotaged.
When they were on the grid with side cutters,wire strippers and black tape i knew they were screwed.
Still,a great race with the tire strategy and the way the safety car fell in the lap count.
I also watched the fia 6 hr from texas,another great event,one I'd like to attend. The Audi r18 is such a cool car.
I'm really impressed with Ricciardo's season so far, I don't think anyone expected him to be in the title hunt this year let alone outperforming Vettel consistently.
Being British I feel I should be cheering on Lewis, but then the other part of me wants to see Nico take it, because I fully expected Lewis to thrash Nico, so fair play to him for keeping it on the podium and winning multiple races this year. Thing is, will Nico be in this kind of position to take the title again in the future? Do you think it's now or never for ze German?

Both the GT ( Blancpain , PWC , Tudor and United ) and V8's ( especially the V8's ) do a lot of pushing and shoving and it's never dominated by 1 , 2 or even 3 guys......the whole field is open. The guy who took 15th last week , could win it the following weekend. The racing in these series is just so much closer and the cars are about 100X more durable......which means they usually finish the race. If you fart in the direction of an F1 car......carbon fiber pieces fly off it!
On the F1 series though......I don't like seeing championships get settled with mech DNF's , but to be fair , Hamilton has has his fair share of mech problems this year as well. My 3 favorite drivers are sitting 3rd , 4th and 5th right now. ( Ricciardo , Alonso and Vettel ). The F1 series has what they say a lot of " pretty drivers " haha. Dudes are definitely some of the most skilled drivers on the planet......but Christ they are a bunch of pretty , prim a-donna's .
Not sure it is 100% but all the drivers were complaining about it before the summer break.
Riciardo has been a breath of fresh air, really pulled for him all season.
as for the championship, i don't care for Hamilton at all and really want Nico to win it
I can tell you who does not deserve the crown.
Rossberg. That little fuck and his antics at Monaco were downright dishonorable. Multi21 dishonorable. Add what happened in Belgium - I hope he blows an engine and a goat.
Hammy has been doing a good job with a great car compared. From last to podium more than most. He actually does better from the back of the pack.
Daniel Mr. Smiles - He is who I am rooting for, I suspect when the double points kick in, RedBull will rise victorious. Horner is no dummy.
And just for Hillbilly - Maybe Pastor "Crash" Maldonado will actually finish a weekend without destroying a car. THAT will be the true championship note.
We hear from various sources that Fernando Alonso has signed for McLaren-Honda in 2015. He's leaving Ferrari at the end of the year.
The link connected the front and rear suspension like a anti sway bar so when brakes were applied it eliminated the front diving by lowering the rear of the car with the front.
