Yeah, im sure Lewis is quaking in his boots at the thought of Nico starting in the pit lane and materialising in his mirror like a ghost after a few laps, I bet Nico is looking forward to this as well

dude he is! it wasn't roscoe who pooped on the plane. IT WAS LEWIS!!

So there are 225 points on the table for the balance of the season. If Sochi doesn't take place (as I've been pounding on about) that leaves 200 points with an 11 point gap currently. There's still plenty of racing folks. Plenty of racing.

So 225 on the table for 1st, 158 on the table for 2nd.

I am looking forward to Lewis kicking Nico's BOT

Nico's Bottas? That's just rude

But it was worth it

Hamilton seems to have a history of having more unreliability than his team mates (think his car failed more than Button in the McLaren years too). This could be for 2 reasons:

1) Hamilton is simply unlucky.

2) Hamilton's driving style of attacking and getting everything out of the car pushes the car more to the limit and sometimes over than the smoother, slightly slower styles of Button, Rosberg etc. Hamilton is the naturally fastest driver in F1 and gets the maximum out of the car when he is on form, however, at times I wonder if that is at the expense of a little bit of reliability. Rosberg is a little slower, but maybe he doesnt push the car as much to the limit and therefore when reliability is marginal he gets away with it and Hamilton doesn't.

I dont know which is the answer, but 2 is a possible reason as to why Hamilton is faster but also has more unreliability than his team mates. It could be wrong but its an idea. The only thing I do know is we will never know the reason.

The hypothesis sounds nice but it completely falls apart when you look at the failures he's had this year. A rubber insulator on lap one. An exploding break rotor in Q1, an engine fire in Q1 before he even has a timed lap? All of these incidents occurred in a completely fresh car. In Canada both he and his team mate had brake failure and Nico only managed his because he was leading and suffered less with the added cooling. Lewis has been gentler than Nico on tires and uses less fuel than Nico.

So I respectfully have to toss your hypothesis in the garbage.

I threw #2 out because of the part underlined

That's right, I forget you keep claiming Maldonado should hold that title.

[geetface9]

Oh, he does

Nico Rosberg's Monaco stunt is the most brilliant move of the year to date. Went back, did some reading and realized that Mercedes leadership has been struggling since then and I'm sure that we'll see a much more boring second part of the season. Well boring to the haterz.

Heard it here first.
