22 points at this stage of the season is manageable and I think Vettel was in a far worse position in 2010. I was surprised when Rosberg was let off for not just cutting the chicane but also riding more curb than was allowed as suggested by the radio message to Hamilton. The FOM coverage once again left a lot to be desired.
We can see the relative strengths of the two drivers. Lewis has been umlucky, he gave his team mate space on the first corner just like he did last year at a race Nico won. We see Nico having to cut corners to stay ahead of his teammate even when he starts ahead.
There are still many races to go and F1 history tells us there is still a lot more drama to come. Seb has won the WDc from much worse deficits and situations.
The deciding factor here is that if Nico continues pushing his luck it will turn out badly sooner or later. All Lewis has to do is continue exactly as he is and things are not bad at all in the general context.Lewis has to start each race ahead and disappear into the distance and create beter luck for himself
Don't forget guys. Double points could f*** this all up.
As long at the stewards are consistent everything should be fine. We know Hamilton hasn’t benefitted from this common sense approach in the past and this has shades of the Schumi Monza debacle. Let’s see what happens when Hamilton pushes things to the limit.
I thought Mercedes were guilty of poor management, especially if they knew about the braking issue right from Friday practice. To allow both drivers to continue to race so aggressively knowing very well that the ongoing hybrid failure issues would have an impact on braking, to me was bad management and they could’ve easily lost both cars. Hamilton obviously paid a heavy price due to running a more aggressive brake setup but his relatively poor run of luck is bound to even out at some point. Let it be known that I love the double points thingy
