    The question now is...Will mercedes decide to let Rosberg play the supporting role after the break to ensure they make a strong play for the title? Wouldn't it make sense now that Rosberg doesn't have much of a chance to challenge for the title that the team concentrate on Lewis as the title contender? If Lewis finishes ahead of Vettel and the others including Rosberg take big points off Vettel wouldn't that sweeten the pot a bit? Also with Vettel under pressure I am sure he will start to make mistakes. You could see the frustration when he was behind Jensen in those two stints. And we have seen him make a few mistakes when under pressure before and when you are under that sort of pressure and it really gets to you there is every possibility for a DNF. I am not wishing for that but wouldn't that be in the minds of the chasing pack right now especially if they want to seriously get back into the fight? Mercedes, I think now, will surely push Lewis as the challenger as Rosberg doesn't have much
    of a chance now. I think Rosberg will be told to take one for the team and give mercedes a real shot at the drivers title....maybe he will get a nice Christmas bonus...lol. But seriously...if they are thinking about making a serious challenge they they need to adopt this approach for the second half of the season. Mclearn made the serious mistake of their drivers taking heavy points off each other when only one had a serious shot and I doubt mercedes will take that route. I doubt the second half of the season will be about which one could out score the other in polls and wins. I am sure that if they both hit the front row the team will let Rosberg play rear gunner...he will back up the field and Hamilton will ride off into the sunset. Maybe I am wrong but I strongly believe that they will make that decision in the second half. I am sure the second half will be all about the driver's title, not bragging rights between teammates for mercedes. What are your thoughts....

    isn't it pretty obvious they'd already made that decision before the season started; i mean look at Malaysia, the second race and they were already telling Nico he wasn't allowed to overtake Hamilton.

    Whatever we say here, isn't going to change the fact that Hamilton won in Hungary. You are just going to have to come to terms with it on your own somehow.

    If your enjoyment of sport is ruined when people you don't like win, then maybe you'd be better off not following, because people you don't like will win occasionally. None of us here can change that for you.

    Incidentally... What do you want to hear from us?

    rofl i love how people have such short memories, i was just reminiscing over the British GP and the immediate response here as soon as a certain driver retired, from you as well as many others, rather unsurprisingly.

    That doesn't address what I asked.

    And when Hamilton's tyre blew... I was gutted... I support that driver.

    Can you tell me how I should act? What did I say that was wrong and what should I have responded with? Now is your chance to educate me. That's what you're here for... right?

    If they were favoring Hamilton wouldn't he have pitted first in the first race Rosberg won? Wouldn't they have let Rosberg do another lap, brought in Hamilton so he would continue in second place so when Rosberg pitted Hamilton would have been in the lead? And didn't they say in malyasia that they had asked Hamilton to turn down his engine because of low fuel and didnt want him to risk a good result? Didnt team also say Rosberg was also low on fuel too and he might have run out if they had raced each other to the finish? I wouldn't call that favoritism. I call that commonsense.

    how about you stop being so hilariously hypocritical and lecturing/ridiculing people when they complain about something that happens they don't like, when you've done exactly the same thing. Don't worry though i've seen the light and i'll be right here informing people to deal with it (and ridiculing them) from now on whenever a result happens they don't like, as you seem so adamant that you way is always the right way to behave.

    If I'm so hypocritical, can you please point it out for me so that I can mend my ways? You'd be doing me such a service.

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not upset in the slightest.. Your arrival has made me take a look at my own actions and question how I can be a better, more balanced contributor to this forum.

    If anything I'd say you seem rather upset, and if I have played any part in bringing about your annoyance, all I can do is appologise.

    How can I begin to make you feel more at home?

    Okay, yeah.

    Have we ever said our enjoyment of this forum is ruined? Maybe we like debating with people with different opinions?

    Are you Martial Artist but on best behaviour?
