    I'm not really sure what Rosberg was up to today. If it was formation flying then he was too close and probably risking his car. If he was pushing to overtake then it seemed he just couldn't get close enough.

    I'm fairly sure he was just hoping that Hamilton would make a mistake and he could slip through. Otherwise he was in a middle ground of neither attacking or car saving.

    They need to replace Nico, someone to stop the pre-programmed bullshit every two weeks. Won't be of any harm to Lewis because he said himself he enjoys a challenge. Why are Mercedes taking such a safe option?

    Makes sense for any team to have a team leader and a secondary driver so that points aren't shared between the two. Not brilliant to watch when you have one really dominant team like Merc, but makes perfect sence from a championship point of view.

    We all know that Nico is not a threat over a full season, but that's how Merc want it. The Ferrari is NOT a faster car yet it's race pace was faster because Merc were running to a controlled delta.

    Ferrari between 00-06 had number 2 drivers, but atleast then we had Mclaren with Mika, Coulthard, Kimi, and Montoya making things competitive -and Alonso and Fisi at Renault. This is awful.

    Only positive is the little midfield scraps we had today. Begs the question, What is the point watching?

    They raced each other last year when the team were aiming for their first championship. I don't think Ferrari are as good as everyone makes out so I think they owe it to the fans to let them race, Rosberg just isn't fast enough and is too conservative when attacking.

    Why is it whenever rosberg and Hamilton get close its like 'oh shoot, there's something wrong with your car manage it' and happens to both cars...

    You know what I'm thinking! It's bullshit

    If Hamilton wins, there's some kind of conspiracy against Rosberg, if Rosberg wins, theres clearly some kind of conspiracy against Hamilton.

    Look beyond the conspiracy... it's clearly...

    Lol, they raced in one race, Bahrain, got told off behind close doors, then Spa happened and it's been blatantly obvious since then, Rosberg even had to complain after one race that he was being forced to drive too slowly.

    No one has said 'conspiracy' about Hamiltons win, that only happens whe your beloved gets beaten by Rosberg, even when it's through his own fault, like at Monaco. What we're saying is Mercedes are full of PR **** about 'we let them race' when it's patently obvious to everyone who isn't besotted with Media-boy that they aren't

    I blame the other teams, especially Ferrari and RBR.

    A quick fix like customer cars wouldn't work either. We need a team to stop Mercedes pulling a 25 second gap to the finish. I reckon its impossible.

    Wow. If Rosberg beats Hamilton then good for him, only delusional fan boys will shout conspiracy. He's not good enough in racing situations, end of.
