Honestly I didn't even bother to think about this. But apparently others did a lot and now they are venting the frustrations they accumulated against MS in his previous 17 years stint.

Mike's going to be just fine.

He's only 0.3 seconds off of Rosberg's pace.

Rosberg VS Mike 0.30
Massa VS Alonso 0.35
Hamilton VS Button 0.40
Vettel VS Webber 1.10

Schuey has been beaten, and whilst as a Nico fan I'm thrilled, I have to expect this situation will not continue.

I pedicted on another thread than MS would win at Malaysia, and whilst that seems unlikely with the pace of the car atm it could be that race that he starts to feel at home again.

Never cross your chickens before you count your bridges.

I think he´s up for a rough ride and simply because he doesn´t have that 4-days-of-testing in Fiorano every week.

And thats not taking anything from him. He is and will forever be the most successful f1 driver.

Nico has been known to qualify very fast in some races previously. How many races has he won? Qualifying is very important, I agree. But this year, when tyre wear dictates the pitstops, then other factors will come into play. Let's wait and see what happens tonight (my time).

Well, pretty much as I expected.
In qualy Rosberg has a clear advantage, but come race time, MS is just on his pace.
Come Melbourne I dont think that will change, but in a few race time the tables will turn.

Still, well done for Nico to finish ahead of Michael, Jenson and Webber. But Michael was pretty decent as well!

Yeah, an entirely decent opener. We'll hear more from this young man soon! :)

If the car improves. As Garry Walker pointed, the fully working Mercedes is behind a damaged Red Bull and from what I saw, behind McLaren-Mercedes as well. So 4th best team. This is far from ideal.

Exactly 5 seconds over 50 laps it's only 0.1 seconds a lap in race pace on a 2 minutes long lap.

MS will be only getting better whereas Rosberg never proved that he can up his game against a strong team mate.
