    Good point. For me though it depends how far you can suggest that, Seb is 4-0 up on Mark so it's quite likely that wont change.

    Nico and Lewis haven't even raced each other yet on the same track with this car and people just see Nico as some kind of joke without actually seeing anything being done on track yet.

    Good point. This is what I expect. From now a neutral perspective.

    Vettel>Webber
    Hamilton=Rosberg
    Button=Checo
    Alonso>Massa
    Raikko>Grosjean
    Hulk>Guti
    Bott=Maldonado
    Ricciardo>Vergne
    Sutil>PDR
    Pic=VDG
    Bianchi>Razia

    Form changes no matter what sport it is, and if didn't then there would be no point in watching it... so in reality none of us know who will come out on top each year.

    As for people considering Nico as a joke... where does that come from? He is clearly a great driver and already has a win for Merc. I don't see where people are making out that he is a joke. Sometimes I think you project your opinion on others.

    I think Jenny/Suzy laughed when Gary made that idea, which wound Silver up.
    I mentioned it in my commentary because he (Gary) was not making his mind up whether it was Alonso or Rosberg...

    Gotcha... Well that doesn't count in my book. A couple of peoples opinion on a radio show aren't necessarily representative of real fans.

    Well I studied for a short period of time (creative writing) on how to write stories and to improve articles being "clicked" or papers being sold. The secret was to just totally agree with the masses and write only what they the reader wanted to hear/read, rather than what they needed to know, or the hard truths or "facts".

    So the BBC go with the UK masses and they act how the public want them to act to keep them happy. If that means to downplay Seb every chance they can get or to snub Rosberg as a potential threat to the rest of the drivers they'll get away with it because it's what their audience want to hear.

    If the team on the radio panel just came out and in short and said, "Vettel will walk the title and Lewis is going to look like **** in the Mercedes." It's going to piss off a fair few of their audience won't it? They refuse to step on certain people in a certain way, you also see it with Spain and Italy in particular, but worse.


    Manny is correct, I felt the BBC scoffed at Rosberg and it annoyed me, but I was directing my issue on the radio panel rather than the listeners who I have absolutely no interest to listen to. But if I believe what I was taught, the BBC are not far off with what the majority are wanting to hear from that broadcast. It's slightly cheap I know, but what I've learned tells me that is the mentality of the majority listening as well.

    The last time a BBC panel like this laughed at a driver winning anything important was Vettel before the 2010 season and look what happened there...

    Oh ffs... Are you totally off your rocker??? Did you miss the whole 20% devoted to Vettel? Why are you trying to perpetuate this Vettel hate?

    I actually do hate him.. and because of you! I hope he f**** off to DTM and never comes back.

    Yes since I only listened to the first 5 minutes, switched channel and then flicked back on to hear the scoffing of Rosberg at the end, then switched again. I don't see how that's me declaring Seb hate since I'm only on about Rosberg here and I'm only reading what Manny has put up during the whole conversation which I didn't actually listen to...

    Then it is you that has a problem. A tweet mentions Hamilton, you moan, a show mentions Hamilton you switch off.. and then moan more If you want to hear about German drivers first, listen to German radio....and maybe quit moaning at Hamilton... you're making me hate him too. In fact....sod it, I'll stick with Indy. :p

    I'm talking about this... It drives me mad. The world isn't against Vettel, and if you actually listened, they played up what a 4x champion on the bounce would be. Why do you persist with this hate line?

    It's over-used, but oh well. I hope that wasn't Silvers last name change.
