Re: So Micheal Schumacher still had it after all?

It's too early for a post like this IMO, but it seems Rosberg is a tad underrated around here. He is one of the most consistent drivers on the grid, if the car is fast over the full season, he will be getting good points regularly without incidents.

Re: Is F1 being too cautious these days

Re: Maldonado - I'm Incapable Of Driving This Years Williams

I think Maldonado is just slagging off Williams prematurely in my opinion, Hamilton's take on the track sums it up perfectly well..

Re: Coulthard: Vettel may have to quit Red Bull to earn resp

2011 has proven that speed isn't the most important on a driver's point of view. Very much like 2012 has proven that speed isn't the most important on a car's point of view. It's fine to have that opinion, but when you take speed out of the equation, what does Marko think Vettel does better than Ha...

Re: Coulthard: Vettel may have to quit Red Bull to earn resp

If he hasn't yet earned the respect from certain people, then he most likely never will no matter what he does. He's still got a long way to go in his career, he'll leave RBR sooner or later, but since he's happy at RBR, and RBR are happy with him, why change things to make a few dummies happy?
