Agree with this, but, but, Hamilton's slight lack of thinking power over Rosberg is more than compensated for in his desire and passion, Rosberg comparatively seems devoid of being driven by emotion, this is Hamiltons major advantage, just imagine the situation, if the perceived by many luck issue - if there is such a thing - were reversed.
Well I guess so... but I think with such an important issue like that he should have given it more thought first before he spoke, then put things in correct perspective.
Formula One footage may get removed within seconds from YouTube, but thankfully Canal+ put it on their website for us all to see. This is a massive 30 minute 16 second video of all the best onboard footage from the epic Hungarian Grand Prix, which includes all the best overtakes, crashes, team radio and of course some skilful wet weather driving.

I really don't have a preference out of the two. In relation to all the drivers, it would be Button and Kimi with Riccardo as my one for the future - basically because the ageing past champs aren't giving me much to shout about!
Yeah, I figured it wasn't anyone from the Merc garage. Not a good year for either Button or Kimi really. Both Ferrari and McLaren have been bloody shocking this season!
With the 4 week gap for summer 'break', do the teams see this as an opportunity to ramp up the upgrades and bring those to Belgium? Can we expect any agressive upgrading now or do you think those other than Mercedes will be focussing on the 2015 model already?? Belgium is surely going to penalise Red Bull and Ferrari lack of power and you will see Mercedes and Williams dominating the podium?
Red bull's trick was to shut down the f1 side and employ Newey and Co at 'red bull technologies' for 2 weeks. They always came out firing after the summer 'break'
The radio chatter from the race: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2014/07/30/2014-hungarian-grand-prix-team-radio-transcript-2/ From what we didn't already know it seems Hamilton was getting a bit of a hot backside, Vettel was annoyed for being left in the wrong charge mode for the re-start, Williams were waiting for Alonso to pit, and Massa got in his customary 'for sure's'.
Did you not get the "Hot Seat" transmissions in Englandshire? What's right behind the seat? Batteries?
Yes Ernie. As I tried to say, perhaps inadequately, Hamilton's strengths are quite different and as you suggest, the luck factor has so far played a rather unbalanced role (sic). This is part of the reason I find the dice between them so fascinating this season! Emotion is an interesting factor. It provides the raw drive (no pun intended this time) which can manifest two quite different outcomes in the same person. It is something of a monster: it underlies both super-human heroics and painful under-achievement*. But it tends to be one or the other with little in between, so the passionate are more likely to live or die by their own sword. This can be exploited by the cunning who, with less effort, may ease back a little, waiting for the other's error. Exploiting one's opponent's actions in this manner has a very close analogy in the martial arts. - - -o0o - - -* Under-achievement is less likely when emotion is measured and controlled. For this reason, the term is probably less applicable to Rosberg. By the same token, if one of them is more likely to be beaten by the heroics of the other, once again, I'd suggest Rosberg.
Yes I agree, I guess it's safe to say Ayrton Senna might still be with us if only he wasn't quite so hell bent on beating Schumacher that day at Monza, his emotions were riding high that day for sure, a shame God isn't a motor racing fan.
