Also he doesn't want to put more pressure on Nico that is necessary

Sorry! Just a personal opinion. Nico is much more grounded, and mature, while Lewis is still a child at heart.

Rosberg fully deserves the title, he won it at the start of the season when Hamilton didnt show up.......as for engines blowing up, Hamilton didnt complain when Rosbergs car conked out in 2014 and 2015, a poor tradesman blames his tools, Hamilton is just a sulker and exposed himself this year......check out this film of Nico driving a cadet kart when he was about 6 or 7, so I guessearly 90's, with Keke doing the spannering, sweet.

Are there really that many dads around?
* Button -> used to have his dad around until he passed away. Now had his mom in the last few races.
* Massa
* Verstappen -> although Jos doesn't show up every single time anymore - thankgod

Who else? I don't think most drivers have there parent(s) or partner around at most occasions, just for special occasions like home grand prix or the last race of the season?

Keke says he gets too wound up to attend the races nowadays, and that he doesn't want to unsettle his son. He wasn't even at Abu Dhabi over the weekend, choosing to stay with friends in Dubai and watch proceedings on the TV.

He either drove/helicoptered down to the circuit immediately after the race to join in the celebrations.

Lewis is a racer. Clearly harder on the machinery as well.

How do? The first 2 engine faliures came in the first 3 races of the year on fresh engines in practice mode with the wick turned down, the third was a fresh engine while cruising out front at Malaysia and was a big end failure. He consistently saves more fuel than rosberg so doubt he's that hard on his engines

Hamilton I'd say is a very adaptive driver, if he needs to save the car he would, if he needed to adapt to a wheelbarrow he would

Took him a while to adapt to getting his car off the line though. The poor starts are often glossed over when discussing points lost this season.

Nico had a few bad starts this year too......Mercedes traced it to a clutch/ glove problem.....now all is sorted

Ok Lewis had 3 bad starts...at most that lost him 15 points...he lost around 70 due to mechanical problems...43 at the start of the season and 28 in Malaysia.....I guess that's more than the bad starts...

How did he lose 28 points in Malaysia?
I keep seeing this figure, yet a race is worth 25 points!

Rosberg left Malaysia leading by 23 points rather than Hamilton leaving with a 5 point lead...yes the win is worth 25 points but rosberg also moved up a place because of hamiltons retirement (the extra 3 points to make 28)

Probably, he could look like a wally if he then started changing his tune on Lewis. Unfortunately the evidence for Nico being better is on the contrary

I see it as a sign of respect, instead of a sly dig at your favorite driver.
Constantly feeling the need to tout the supposed superiority of your particular favorite is pretty pathetic, to be honest.


Everyone knows Jacques Villeneuve is still the best ever.



See how sad that is?
