    It's only FP2. It's not like he was leading the race, and suffered a problem which cost him win. Like with Rosberg at Silverstone. The only time a leading driver has had a mechanical dnf while leading, this year. Hamilton is lucky that that hasn't happened to him this year. Unlike Rosberg, who was unlucky. .

    Rubbish! Both Rosberg and Hamilton had the exact problem, at the exact same time. Rosberg was leading before he lost it due to MB giving Hamilton a more favourable pit stop (Again Hamilton was lucky). Rosberg had the talent to carry and ailing car to the finish, which Hamilton didn't. It's only Rosberg that has been denied a genuine opportunity of a win. Rosberg should really be leading by 61 points, if he wasn't so unlucky.

    funniest post of the year
    lets come back to reality

    1. Australia- hamilton takes pole , Rosberg 2nd: car starts to breaks down on warm up lap, losing power before eventually being retired after a few laps, Rosberg waltzes to a win
    2. Malaysia - Hamilton takes pole, Rosberg 3rd: Hamilton wins by 17 seconds, Rosberg could not come close to his teammate
    2. Bahrain, - Rosberg takes pole, hamilton 2nd: Hamilton wins the race with "the talent" to stay ahead with older tires and the harder compound and a teammate who turned the engine mode up to try to pass
    3. China - Hamilton takes pole, Rosberg 4th: Hamilton wins by 18 seconds
    5. Spain - Hamilton takes pole, Rosberg 2nd: Hamilton wins the race with a slim margin. It was a close finish, but rosberg fails to pass
    lets asses 4 wins in a row Rosberg is frustrates,
    6. Monaco - Rosberg takes a very suspect pole we all know what happened: He wins the race, its a procession and unlike Rosberg, Hamilton wasn't trying any banzai moves
    7. Canada - Rosberg takes pole, Hamilton 2nd: Hamilton was catching Rosberg, both cars suffered brake failure, Hamilton engineers tell him to retire the car, Rosberg engineers tell him ( correctly how to manage the car) a pattern of incompetence from the hamilton side of the garage begins including slower pitstops as well. So Rosberg comes 2nd and hamiltons croes no points
    8. Austria - Hamilton screws up in Qualy gets P9, Rosberg only manages p3: But goes to win the race while hamilton makes up 8 spots to come in 2nd with only 1.9 seconds back
    9: Great Britain: Hamilton gets p6 in a poor qualy Rosberg P1: Hamilton was catching Rosberg at a fair rate of knots even before his car started having problems. Hamilton wins the race. Rosberg scores nothing

    so, as i see it: to this point Hamilton has had 2 mechanical dnf's to rosberg's 1 dnf
    10: Germany - brake failure during Qualy for Hamilton, Rosberg takes pole: Hamilton starts from p20 and still gets p3. Rosberg takes an unchallenged win
    11: Hungary - Hamilton;s car catches fire in qualy after dominating FP sessions: Rosberg takes pole, finishes 4th, Hamilton finishes 3rd and uses his "talent" to pass vergne ion 3 corners, while rosberg could not in 15 laps. Rosberg also could never keep pace with hamilton and team messed up with the whole team orders thing.
    12. Spa: Rosberg takes pole, Hamilton takes p2, passes him on the start and we all know what happened

    so please explain to everyone how Rosberg has been the one unlucky

    Going to take some weeks and races for Rosberg to get the fans behind him again .After Monaco and Spa ,the boos were also at Monza too .Even when Rosberg tried to pacify the crowd by talking in Italian to them cut no ice .At this point the crowd are behind Lewis and Danny and Valterri too .And Nico although leading the championship he has a problem getting the fans on his side again

    The booing fans may have been some pathetic British fans (i hate to say that as a British fan myself), because their were a lot at Monza.

    Pretty pointless and petty to carry it over a race. I can just about understand after the moment in Spa, but its a poor show today if it was.

    Mind you if it was Italian fans, then that is surprising and poor too.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    I don't know which it was but I don't feel it was undeserved. The message has to be sunk through and maybe now it has. If Rosberg wins this WDC due to the 18 points he gained last week with his cheating along with his Minaco cheating then he deserves all the boo's.

    Anyway I think if the 6 races are flat out between the pair that Hamilton will take it. He is the better driver and that was very clear to be seen today.

    Unless I missed it, Nico did not claim any problems with the car, so Hamilton was faster and Nico cracked under the pressure.

    I would not want to be in Nico's position (everything to lose) with so many races still to go and with such a rapid teammate closing in. Nico's only one DNF away from letting Hamilton back into the fight, so again, every race, he has everything to lose.

    Hamilton is realistically out of it unless Nico has a DNF. The odds of Lewis stringing another four-peat together are pretty slim, but as long as Nico scores, that's what Hamilton will have to do. Rosberg will definitely win a few more races, so it's going to take a DNF for him to come close to losing the title. If Nico can win a couple more races and then keep scoring seconds, he's in good shape.

    Still, it puts Nico in the "everything to lose" position and Hamilton in the "everything to gain position." It's hard to imagine how much pressure Nico must be feeling, and maybe that showed up today.
