    Poor Benson, the weekend must have been hard for him.
    Considering the sub-heading, he probably tried really hard to not make this about Lewis. (See this extract from http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/36571249)

    Bless. :grin:

    I'm just glad we've moved on from the days when he could only be introduced as "2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton".

    Senna-equalling, three time world champion Lewis Hamilton has a much better ring about it, I agree.

    Also, wow that article is terrible. "Rosberg increasingly impressive - but only when Hamilton has issues or makes a mistake."

    Assassination of Andrew Benson.

    Masked men by the names of El Bando and Big Ern questioned by police.

    *Funnily enough those names do sound quite criminal haha.

    To be fair that's probably a compliment to Rosberg, who hasn't really upped his performance compared to the previous years where he's rolled over and offered no real competition. The difference this year is that Hamilton has dropped back not that Rosberg has gone forward.

    If you think about it there's probably a good 35 point swing between Rosberg and Vettel in terms of DNFs and Ferrrari strategic cock ups, which would put Vettel just behind Rosberg. This is roughly where they were last year until his late winning run after the championship was sewn up.
