Chase Elliot will take his place.

I am hoping that Elliott remains in Nationwide Series full-time next season. Why rush his progression.

What the hell did he do, bust the bottle on the nose of the car like he was launching a damn boat?

Penske and Roush run the same motors. Roush/yates. The difference is the chassis and aero package. Roush package sucks on mile and half tracks. The thing is about Roush is that when he is behind, it takes him forever to get caught back up to the competition.

Looks as if Roush needs to get his Motorized Ottoman program together too

In the latest barb in the mind games, in an interview with the BBC Sport, Hamilton claims he has "more talent" and has "the edge and sheer "ability" over teammate Nico Rosberg. "That is the gift I have," says Hamilton.

The key moments from the second part of the interview, Hamilton says boxer Muhammad Ali inspires him.

Quote:

"I think about Muhammad Ali," Hamilton told BBC Sport. "He sat on the rope and let [Foreman] have the upper hand until he decided it was the right time to turn it around.

So, in Hamilton's "no holds barred" interview in what is one of the most delusional interviews ever - Hamilton claims he is deliberately letting Nico get ahead in the championship because he thinks, it gives him an advantage?

Hamilton will never rattle Rosberg - Nico is professional, smart, and strong minded, and consistently focused.
