Rosberg leads the WDC through luck atm

It's true

Mechanical failure cost Hamilton at least 2nd and most likely 1st in Australia.
Brake failure cost him 2nd yesterday.
Not to mention Rosbergs accidentally on purpose error in Monaco.

Also he is seemingly allowed to cut corners and not concede the advantage, If they had been the other way around and Hamilton had held the position he would have been given a penalty faster than blinking.
Then it may have been Rosbergs brakes that failed.

Hamilton should be a long way ahead in this championship but due to pure luck as usual he is way behind.

I always thought Vettel was a fortunate champion with a dominant car and sub standard teammate (as Ricciardo is showing) but thus far Rosbergs luck is on another level.

 

Thread's generally have a point to them.

What is this one's?

 

Read the title, that will answer your question.

 

Wum city!

 

Are you asking us if we agree with you, or just having a moan?

What do you want us to add?

 

Just putting the facts out there.

You don't have to agree or disagree.

 

oh, okay.

 

Three ingredients needed for a title:
1. Good Driver
2. Good Car
3. Good Luck

 

So all Vettel's titles and Schumacher's and everybody else for that matter, all luck?

 

Where is that implied?

 

"I always thought Vettel was a fortunate champion with a dominant car and sub standard teammate (as Ricciardo is showing) but thus far Rosbergs luck is on another level"

This is getting ridiculous - Luck is a factor yes, but Rosberg's performance on track has always been there to capitalise. Didn't think one of our own users would be discounting his performance...really.

 

Gotcha... Thought it was in response to me.

 

Rosberg and Hamilton had the exact same problem yesterday, Rosberg managed it, Hamilton didn't. That's not luck. And let's be honest, he's had more than his fair share of luck in 07/08

 

Yep.... Hamilton clearly at fault. He really must work on his car failure management.

 

I'm not saying it was his fault, I'm just saying he didn't manage the car while Rosberg did. Hamilton does quick, and that's it, I can't think of anything else nowadays that he's actually that great at.

 

His was running a brake balance that was bias towards the rear while Rosberg more to the front. I don't recall him getting any message from the team suggesting he might need to change that prior to them going pop.

 

.... If Lewis was in the lead. Would he still have a break failure?

Actually the brake failure was at the rear. Rosbergs engineer confirmed Hamilton had his bias more rearwards . Is that a factor.

 

Hamilton was also suffering from having to make bigger stops, carrying 20 kph into the last chicane through drs.

I didn't realise how much Rosberg was hampered in the closing laps, was almost down to half braking capacity.

 

Hamilton's brakes failed, that wasn't his fault, when both had the same car with the same fault Hamilton got himself into the lead.

 

Couldn't put it better if i tried
