Mercedes Inter team Battle - Hamilton Vs Rosberg

Mercedes sacked MS and hired Lewis for a zillion of money, Lewis have to be a lot better than MS. Nico knows this, he want to prove them wrong but he cant, because ..... There´s a lot of pressure on the Mercedes upper management and the board.

Sadly I have to agree. If Hamilton was running on empty, then it was his fault, or strategist's fault, or teams fault, or just random bad luck. In any of those cases, I don't still understand how is that justifying giving Rosberg the order to stay behind. Sadly, I think they will treat Rosberg as the number 2. There is no other explanation. I do wonder, why did it matter who finished third in this race. It's not like Hamilton is in position to fight for WDC, or is he?

The resolution to the battle was quite sad. A lot of F1 fans were probably wishing to see the battle of Rosberg and Hamilton driving the same car... which brings us to a quite strange realization. A lot of time time, people are wishing to find out what if Driver A and Driver B could race each other in the same car... (because THEN we would know for sure who is better..) only to find out that this just won't happen in most teams.

Ham vs Ros is not even close to a "battle". They are from different planets. No, rather from different universes.

One might've assumed that before the season started, but I've not got that impression from the two races so far, at all.

Are you assuming that he meant that Ham is the better of the two ?

There isn't much between them at all. In fact, apart from the final Q3 qualifying in both race weekends, Rosberg has been the quicker of the two thus far.

Nico will be the better driver come the end of the year
