Re: Nico has accepted 2nd already against Hamilton...

Edit: You wasn't. Covalent made a sweeping statement regarding Lewis fans I responded in kind. Yet you had a problem with me using a sweeping statement but none with Covalent doing the same?

Re: Nico has accepted 2nd already against Hamilton...

Opinion - Rosberg hasn't performed since Spa and the team are at fault. See, that was not what McNish was saying. So, the fact is rather that you are faking such in the name of others and then go building your case how Lewis fans deal with the facts and others with but unsupported opinions. Ahh but...

Re: Career perspective: Hulkenberg, Grosjean and Perez

At the end of the day Hulk didn't dominate Barrichelo Di Resta or Perez and anyone who watched the seasons involved is aware of that.

Anyone who thinks he did has just looked at the end of season results.

The points gap between them can be explained and it was misleading. Have a look at the posts above.

Oh I agree Prema. Rosberg could be suffering from a lack of confidence and that's why he didn't come forward to challenge Lewis at China.

I just disagree it's anything to do with the team tying a hand behind his back.

Schumacher would have failed to win if it wasn't for his deliberate taking out of his championship contender after damaging his own car too much to continue the race. It's a travesty he did win that title.

Re: Nico has accepted 2nd already against Hamilton...

There is no evidence Nico is any slower compared to Pre spa 2014. He just doesn't have the beating of Lewis.

Lewis was always going to start this season on the crest of a wave. The confidence gained from being world champion was always going to push him on.

You honestly think that was to do was Alonso and not the car he was provided with?

And according to you Alonso will take the next 3 titles with McHonda so he will be fine and Seb will be 0 for 3 with Ferrari.
