    Totally agree with those who say the more durable tyres in 2014 has helped Lewis. Lewis is an aggressive driver by nature that is how he drove finishing above Alonso in his debut season and winning the 2008 WDC and beating the then reigning champion in the same car in 2010 all on the harder Bridegestones. 2011 saw the introduction of the deliberately quick wearing Pirelli tyres due to the 2010 Canada race that saw a race with high tyre degradation giving an exciting race with the FIA wanting to replicate that race throughout the 2011 season. Lewis refused to give these tyres the respect they deserved and just tried to race the Pirelli's like he raced on the Bridgestones to his detriment he paid the price in not managing his tyres not because he couldn't but because he did not listen to his engineer when told to look after his tyres, and I believe that was the main reason Lewis finished behind Button. But as we saw in 2012 Lewis was more conservative in his driving on the Pirelli's and managed them better which has since seen him finish above Button and Nico who are supposed to be better at tyre management than Lewis.

    So you're saying that Rosberg wasn't pushing Hamilton in Bahrain and Barcelona?

    Do you actually believe anything you write these days, or are you really that pissed that Vettel is not winning anymore?

    no, I'm saying he's been told 'don't you scratch my car' and is too scared to use it properly, personally I think the radio messages during the safety period in bahrain were a 'give a bit of a show for the public but stay as you are', the rather media centric Mercedes don't want to catch the flak that RBR and Ferrari do for having team orders, so they do it sneaky, like they do their illegal tests.

    Certainly more than anything a dumb **** who can only call people 'finger ****ers' because they criticise thier idol.

    Erm.... The message in Bahrain was to bring the cars home from Paddy. Neither driver was having any of it. I'm pretty sure part of their program isn't choreography.

    I don't think you're giving Rosberg quite enough credit.

    So Mercedes are the world's fastest and most dangerous ice dancing team. "Lewis, do a little pirouette, but don't let Nico slip through" and "Nico, you're not extending your leg enough when you leap, work on that but don't pass lewis"

    That phrase was coined a couple of years ago as a bit if fun when there was a topic about what non 'Hamelot' fanboys should be called.

    You're sense of humour failure is epic. For your sake I hope Vettel wins soon.

    For F1's sake, i hope Vettel wins soon, Torvill and Dean winning every race will be a disaster.

    Hamilton, as i suspect Torvill wears the trousers in that relationship.

    Would the sequins push them over the weight limit? You know how fussy the FIA can be.

    Thank god F1 forces a dress code, the idea of Hamilton raiding Nicole Schwarzenegger's wardrobe for clothes isn't a very tempting prospect

    Why should I change the opinion I've had of Rosberg for years just to satisfy some Hamelots? go find any post of mine from long before Hamilton joined and see if I say anything different from what I say now. I think people give him far too much credit, probably because doing so makes Hamilton look far better. In China he needed pit strategies to overtake cars 2 seconds a lap slower than his, which says it all about his actual racing skills. Fast on a clear track, and that's about it.

    How old are you? 12? because I think that's the age when adding '****er' to the end of something is counted as humourous, after that it becomes sadly pathetic.
