Well I am just watching the race back. It was not a classic.
You obviously missed me as this thread only has 4 pages today. :p
If Hamilton was going slow, why didn't Rosberg try to pass him? Is Nico so intimidated by Lewis that he already beaten?

It's just really hard for me to ascertain the quality of a particular race as they have become strategic chess matches to a degree.
I really admire the kid who is very likely a future WDC
Apparently, according to Rosberg, getting close to Hamilton would have destroyed his tires. So what he was apparently asking the team is to make Hamilton lap faster so he could keep a decent gap to third place Vettel. To me the whole issue looks like a PR stunt by frustrated Rosberg who is trying to save face after finishing behind his teammate three races in a row.Quote:

What I think Nico was implying by those comments, in a back handed way was; he is a team player, and The Boss is selfish, which is absurd because every driver up, and down the grid are selfish to a degree. They all have to drive their own races, yet be team players at the same time, which Lewis is every bit as much as Nico.
Doesn't matter, you race to win, especially early in the season.Quote:
