Re: Career perspective: Hulkenberg, Grosjean and Perez
Hulks never been on the podium. Team mates driving the same car has him have. Sergio completed same race AHEAD OF HIS TEAMMATE when he was less experienced the year before, in 2013, against WDC Button. What does that prove? It proves that he is really good at Bahrain, even against proven World Cham...

Re: Career perspective: Hulkenberg, Grosjean and Perez
The points gap between them can be explained and it was misleading. Have a look at the posts above. When the car becomes more competitive, Hulkenberg's driving becomes a lot harder to be equalled by his teammates. This <alone> shows what wonders he can make once he drives a race winning car.

Re: Nico has accepted 2nd already against Hamilton...
Hamilton wants to be perceived to be a team player because that'll do his legacy wonders. It's clear to me that he isn't really a team player because he's yet to make a sacrifice for the good of the team. When he stumbles, the team stumbles with him a la Malaysia 2015. IMHO, Hamilton strikes me as ...

Re: Career perspective: Hulkenberg, Grosjean and Perez
You mention Hulkenberg beat Perez by a wider margin than Button. Looking at the points total between them two is just a lazy way of looking at it. It was obvious to most to see last year and again this year that the two are very closely matched. You can keep looking at the other things apart from p...

From those three, only HULKENBERG did not drive against a World Champion teammate. He beat a more experienced Perez with a bigger margin than the WDC Button.
