Bladesman   10 #25 Posted July 5, 2016 The first time I saw it, it looked while Lewis rammed Rosberg when he came back on track (after Rosberg forced him off). It took three or four views to see this wasn't the case.  Maybe so but never the less I am surprised Rosberg is still in denial about what he did. I am sure the reception Nico will get at Silverstone will be far from pleasant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
perplexed   10 #26 Posted July 10, 2016 Mercedes' fundamental problem, I think is this:  Hamilton is faster than Rosberg most of the time.  Hamilton generally out qualifies Rosberg most of the time.  Rosberg however, certainly this season, generally starts better. So you have the issue of the bloke who's usually fastest actually compromised by being stuck behind the slightly slower guy.  This is inevitably going to lead to tears on the track occasionally.

Harrystottle   10 #29 Posted July 31, 2016 Ricciardo drove very well today, I thought. Verstappen is obviously a very good driver, but he is getting involved in quite a few controversial situations, like moving in the braking zone, which he did against Raikkonen in the Hungarian GP.  Rosberg seems mentally more fragile than Hamilton; more likely to choke under pressure. He did it today and it's happened a few times with him this season. I can't see him keeping up with Hamilton now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Surprised it turned out he could have gone faster but was just looking after his engine.  Nothing wrong with what Max did today. He gave Rosberg more than enough space but once again Rosberg wanted to get going straight on and not turn in. Nico can't keep driving like that and expect to get away with it.  Good race for Red Bull and surprised Nico could not do anything about them in the end.

*_ash_* Â Â 88 #35 Posted August 1, 2016 Rosberg has plenty of confidence, its just he is not as good as Lewis....I think its just that simple ! Â I think it's both. He's clearly no where as good as Hamilton, but I also think also not as confident because he knows he's not as good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Harrystottle   10 #36 Posted August 3, 2016 What does surprise me is Mercedes renewing Rosberg's contract. There is tension between the two, Rosberg just isn't as quick as Hamilton and there have been too many crashes between them. So either get someone in like Ricciardo who would be faster than Rosberg, as a joint no 1 with Hamilton, or state that Hamilton is the team leader and the other guy is the number 2 driver. Less tension, fewer crashes and everybody knows where they stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
