Interesting how almost everyone says Lewis always approaches the race to win, which is what he did in Brazil. And we had the psychologistz on here saying that would be his downfall blahblahblah, and now after almost 2 weeks of causing hilarity amongst Lewis fans, the expertz and the BBc talking heads have come full circle.

They now say Nico is only focussed on one thing - winning and that makes his life much easier, whereas Lewis has choices, meaning he is at a disadvantage because for the first time in his career they expect him to dither and between coming second or first.

So if he goes for the win, its not smart and strategic, why its what he did in the final race in 2007, yet not going for the win and smartly aiming to strategically follow his teammate home will be much much harder pressure than Nico who just has to win

The difference in common sense between the standard Lewis analystz and the Lewis supporter is about the same as the difference in employability between Ross Brawn and Gary Anderson

Don't you know that coming second is best... the ladies will thank him for it!

So as a Lewis supporter you are disagreeing with Lewis ??!
LH: "It just so happens to be this season and, in the last race you never know what's going to happen. So I'm going to the last race to win."

What does this say about your employ-ability cookin!

[CookinFlat6]

And there is the current ranking analyzt to confirm exactly what I pointed out.

Not once in the previous post did I say which option was better or which lewis had decided. all I pointed out was that Lewis prefers to win.

And our own Gary Anderson rushez in like a bull in a china shop to contradict himself

It is good to have real inside F1 insight from a race hardened, experienced driver to help us better understand the difficult challenges facing the drivers in Abu Dhabi.

It just shows how hard it will be for the eventual winner to actually get it done. Routine 1-2 finishes are not routine at all even when you are driving a 2 sec a lap faster super engined car. So many thing can go wrong and McNish also pointed out what I had suspected and posted about earlier that Hamilton faces a particular challenge on how he approaches the race. He is obviously so astute!

Yes sagi you are right. Hamilton realizes he must approach the race with only goal in mind - he must be totally committed to winning the race. Any hesitation could lead to a fatal error, a DNF.

Just like GA, I bet you cant produce or link to a SINGLE contribution you have made since you joined, that was true or logical or not soaked with an embarrassing level of teenage hormonal pop star fever

As usual, you take comments out of context and in so doing it seems that you intentionally want the reader to misunderstand the original comment!!

In this case, overboost was referring to McNish's conclusion that Hamilton will face a very specific/particular dilemma at the last race of the season. Hamilton needs to go flat out to win, because that's his nature; but, there may be a moment when he has to make a split second decision to either gamble everything on a particular pass, a particular move, a particular time to pit in order to win, or to do only what's necessary to win the WDC.

As so many of his fans have argued, that's not the Hamilton anyone expects to show up at Abu Dhabi. Hamilton and hesitation both start with the letter "h"; but, that's all they have in common.

Thus, there is nothing wrong with overboost's comment! Nor is there anything wrong with his next comment:

However, there is something wrong with yours because, once again, your possibly sound comments deteriorate into berating other members and to quote you:

...you wonder why people question your motives...

p.s. you'll notice I removed the rolling eyes smiley!

Surely Rosberg has the harder job. Not only does he have to win, he has to ensure that Hamilton does NOT come 2nd. Although doing a Spa would work, with P2 and Hamilton DNF'ing I guess

Like I said Hamilton should have done in Brazil, he should just qualify 2nd, turn the boost down make sure he finishes and follow Rosberg home from a safe distance.

[Ferrari man 009]

Some interesting analysis of why Rosberg is better in qualifying but Hamilton is better in the race. Also it explains why Rosberg was able to finish in Canada when Hamilton couldnt.

That's ok , so long as Rosberg doesn't start backing him into Massa..or Bottas...or Ricciardo, in the hope that 'something happens' , because a win is no good to Rosberg if Lewis follows him home.

If that happens then surely Hamilton could just power past Rosberg as he did in USA with the help of DRS on the two long straights in sector 2 at AD. And if Rosberg tries to shut the door and they collide Hamilton is champion. I'd much rather be in his position as he has so many possibilities in his control. Rosberg is in control of nothing - he needs outside help.

Poor Ob, when sagi turns up to agree with him, then statistically it's the equivalent of Gary Anderson's mum saying to him, 'don't worry, Spanky , you hit the nail on the head for me at least'


It's mind boggling how desperate some are to cling to the hope that Lewis will 'choke' or prove his mental weakness

Sagi and overboost and GA all agree that Lewis prefers to win, and all agree that he could win or come second as he has done in EVERY single normal race he finished.
But they are also all saying this time around he is likely to 'think too much' about the choice to win or come second instead of doing what they then show us that he has stated he will do - go for the win

Truly amazing effort

Mark Hughes is the best driver technique analyst. In a nutshell Nico has to work very hard to get the car the way he wants then he can max the cars performance. Lewis can adapt to any balance or any condition and max the car

I.e Lewis has more talent and is adaptable and Nico is a hugely better version of Kimi, Seb, button

Thoughts about "thinking too much" from the man himself:

"But I'm not even going to put that negative energy out there. I'm just going to try and do the best job I can with the car that I have and what will be will be, I guess."

By the way, what I find amazing is that you just won't stop insulting and berating anyone who doesn't agree with every word you type and with every smiley you choose.

Which is too bad, as you really do have a lot to offer... on F1.

It may be "easier" when one is naturally talented; but, that doesn't make the methodical person any less successful.
Also, some would argue that the one who works harder appreciates success more.

It may be "easier" when one is naturally talented; but, that doesn't make the methodical person any less successful.

Well yes, it does just that. In the case of HAM vs ROS, the methodical driver is less successful. Less wins. Less points. Less successful.

It's an opinion, respect it, okay! like 5 being bigger than 15.
