Re: Hamilton Would Have Had MP4-28 on Poll Before Season End
Hamilton would probably have qualified better than Jenson or Perez have. He may even have made Q3 every race if he'd stayed at McLaren but poles and wins are asking for too much. The MP4-28 simply isn't as competitive as the RBR, Merc, Ferrari or Lotus. That's a lot of cars to think that Hamilton c...

Re: Rosberg - no debt to pay now?
Rosberg was running his own race, and it wasn't going all that well, so why further potentially compromise it by losing time letting Hamilton by? Especially so early on in the race? And in answer to pokerman pointing out Rosberg let Hamilton by later on in the race, I'm guessing he did so because b...

Re: Mr Ecclestone has never experienced happiness.
As I stated, I have no personal like or dislike of Bernie (or most anyone apart from my inner circle for that matter), but no one can deny he's a hoarder.
