Yep...the guys got balls!

Even I am having a good laugh at that

Didnt Rosberg technically pass Hamilton a couple of times in Bahrain, only for Hamilton to re-pass at the following corner?

Oh, and Rosberg also passed Hamilton at Spa

Okay, that one stings a bit.

James Allens take on the Rosberg did it on purpose theory.

Some good reasoning in that article. On the other hand we have a completely half baked sensationalist version from a certain caledonian windbag

http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/9460935/Stewart-questions-Rosberg-s-off

Apparently his evidence is that there was no lock up or puff of smoke from Nicos tyres and so its very suspicious - despite Nico himself saying he went off to avoid flatspotting his brand new tyres

Lol @ windbag

Not technically, literarily but not technically - according to the FIA giving back a place I.e. Reverse overtaking should be for longer and should be more conclusive

Witness Lewis forcing the definition ironically enough at Spa in 2008 with Kimi, therefore an instant (within a couple of corners) repass is not counted as a legitimate 'overtake'

Good try though

Chill pill please?!

Your wish is my command!!

....until Cookinflat posts again.

Wanna bet?

Coulthard's take.

He's not usually so balanced but there's nothing major to disagree with if you're an at least half normal individual.

That was indeed a good read. Although I can't see where the proof of Rosberg being more 'cerebral' comes into play, any evidence to back this up? More the opposite in fact.

I agree with DC's assessment of Hamiltons weakness though. Every Q3 he's gotta be on it, if he's not first he damn well better be 2nd since Rosberg is simply waiting to crack when out ahead.

He might just mean the part where he's more methodical and reactionary rather than instinctual. That's the only part that would fit in the article. Or it could just be an easier journalistic way to balance a view to Hamilton, who is seen as a racer, so Rosberg has to be 'something' else.

Agreed, one would have to be less than half of the normal reasoning capability of a primate to disagree with Coulthards take

"The mental strength from Lewis to come back and take the win was unbelievable. In the end two mistakes from Nico have cost him. He put on a brave face but when he goes home and reflects on this he will know he has been well beaten."

I never said it was a blanket weakness. I went at great lengths to explain that, and you went to equal lengths ignoring it.

Apologies, you are correct. I suppose some of those moves Hamilton didnt fight in order to get the run into the following corner(s)
