321Go should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
From what I saw on the TV, Rosberg clearly had DRS, for the full distance of the race.

We are talking of the same race aren't we? China 2014??

I watched after the question came up but they didn't show any situation where it would have been activated then so I had no conclusion. Glad it was working because highest top speed even without would be truly scary.

No chance - the two Mercs will be long gone this season before anyone gets a real sniff of 'closing the gap'......

I was just going by the title....not the article itself. Team orders are in favour of who is leading the points.

if i was a team boss i would try to place the priority on the driver i gave the biggest contract too.

that said they need to come to some sort of arraignment soon imo. squabbling between the two drivers, in the absence of anything more exciting the media will play up the internal battle until it explodes, may tarnish the glory the board hopes to receive (and capitalize on) this year.

Be a bit sad if the 2nd driver decides to take the rest of the year off!

If Rosberg doesn't beat Hamilton soon in a straight fight, I fear he's doing to turn into DC to Hamilton's Hakkinen.

Crying or not, Lewis doesn't want anymore close battles with Nico.

Sounds like a sensible approach. Make sure you are far enough ahead you don't have to fight for most of the race...

Also sounds feasible.

Even though after Malaysia and Spain, it is starting to look like Hamilton is the stronger McLaren driver, I think Rosberg is still very much in the WDC game. Just look at the points after Spanish GP:

Hamilton: 100
Rosberg: 97

Why so close? Because Hamilton retired in the first race. If Rosberg continues running as a close second and pounces whenever Hamilton's car breaks, he could keep up with Hamilton in points without winning the majority of races. This was just a thought. Of course, it's still a long shot.

Lewis was asked what his preferred finish order would be for Sunday's Monaco GP. He replied Him first, Alonso second and Vettel third.

No Rosberg in second. No Rosberg in third. Doesn't think Rosberg is a formidable opponent then.

Or perhaps he *does* think that Rosberg is a formidable opponent, and is playing mind games.

Or maybe he doesn't care.

Or he and Rosberg have had a massive cat fight.

We'll probably never know. What we do know is that he said what he said, rather than knowing what he didn't say.
