    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.
    Well realistically Hamilton only has to score 9 more points than Nico in the next 5 races and then win the last race in Abu Dhabi. I'd be very worried if I were Nico. There is very, very little in it. He knows that Hamilton will beat him 9/10 in a straight fight, that's why he resorted to such unsavoury tactics this year. Remember 22 points is only 9 points under the old system. It seems larger than it really is and is very surmountable.

    Hamilton will be signing with uncle Ron soon to wear his yellow helmet in a McLaren Honda, once Mercedes find this out he will develop car problems.

    I thought the same ,but Mercedes say until they see how the year pans out they are signing another contract with Hamilton .But Hamilton was promised 17 mill against Rosbergs 14 mill contract
    If Hamilton can have 25 mill from McLaren and a less cheating teammate then yes he may go !

    Typical of the little ego-driven nerk - Follow the money. It is always the same with Hamophiles, when he isn't winning his team are against him, his team mate cheats, god doesn't love him blah, blah, blah. It is all rather tiresome and shows him for what he is, a proper 'Merchant Banker'

    Yup poor Lewis, it might be tough for the boss without someone telling him the opposite of what to do.

    There is no "I" in team , but there is in both "Lewis" and "Hamilton" .

    He really is the boss .

    "Hamophiles"? That's a good one. Hamilton leaves MB, after MB has paid for his whole career so far? Definite Merchant Banker.

    Aint no joke when an employee refuses to scrub the toilets at the tube steak stand .

    It leaves me with two dirty jobs .

    I knew you were kidding , by the way .
    A "Boss Boy" like you should change his nick to "Hugo" . Hee hee .

    They need to try some reverse psychology on the Boss .
    "Don't save your tires." or "Don't let Nico past ." might work .

    Or , maybe they could have the driver scrub the motorhome loo if he doesn't obey the team .
    Coming face to face with a Stanley Steamer after the race might give these little millionaires a reminder as to who they work for .
