You should temper your delight. This season isn't over yet. There's still a long way to go. Your hero still has plenty of time to stuff it up on his own (like he has in the past). What you really wanted was for this to happen at the last race. It's like in American football, when you make a lead changing score late in the game. But still give the opposition offence enough time to get the lead back. Hamilton had to run the clock down. He should've tanked it (similar to what he did in Belgium) and finished 3rd or 4th. That way, he still closes right in the points. But he can still use "the negative vibe" that seems to be working for him atm. I
n a funny way, Rosberg would had more pressure on him in the next race, had Hamilton closed in 10-15 points. Had he closed in slowly, instead of making it all up in one hit. Now, the pressure is off Rosberg, and he can go for it a bit more.
It's worse for you now. Everything in the past has been neutralised. From now on, you can't do your favourite hobby. Which is to piss and moan about Rosberg, without looking like an even bigger dill. Because Hamilton is now leading the title.Last edited by journeyman racer; 22nd September 2014 at 09:21.

IMO the above post is most cherry picking than anyone else.
Melbourne was a car failure for Lewis. Nobody stated he would beat Nico, they stated it was a DNF due to mechanical failure. Zero points is always beaten by finishing in the points
It's a benefit starting from the rear? The only benefit was pure luck, not starting from the rear of the pack.
As for Canada, Lewis had issues first and by the time they applied damage control his brakes were already shot. Nico had the benefit of the team having him adjust driving and brake bias before his car was in the same condition.
From the outside looking in, it appears to me you are likely a Lewis basher while claiming others are fanbois. Viewed without bias facts are still facts, and the fact remains that both cars are still very fast and overall have few DNFs due to mechanical issues.
The score of DNFs is now even, and Lewis is ahead in points. That could always change. What I think most want is a fair battle since the car is obviously superior to everything else in the field. I personally don't care which driver wins the title, but I'd hate for either to win it due only to the misfortune of the other, or for that matter due to the wonky IMO double points final race.
There are a couple at least that defend one driver at all costs, but when you seem to attack one driver at all costs it's hardly an example of being less biased IMO.

Completely different incidents what happened with Perez and Sutil.
Hamilton does have more DNF's than his teammate one of them caused by Rosberg cheating in Spa and he also lost 7 other points to Nico's cheating in Monaco. He also probably lost two race wins due to car failures in qualifying so that's an extra 20 points there.
For Canada, Rosberg was able to manage his car because he wasn't stuck in Hamilton's turbulent air all race. Were it the other way around and had Rosberg been stuck in Hamilton's turbulent air the entire race then I doubt Rosberg would have been able to bring it home as he did.
Starting from the pitlane benefited Hamilton? Are you actually delusional enough that you actually believe that starting from the pits could ever been of benefit to anyone? He got up to third because he drove an amazing race in both Germany and Hungary. Yes, the safety car helped him a bit but to gain so much ground on a track link Hungary and so as many overtakes as he did is amazing, imo.
Hamilton has been denied in Australia due to mechanical failure. His issues began the formation lap and that's why Rosberg lead into the first corner.
Massa also had a better car in 2008 and Hamilton won the title in the second best car.
Give yourself an uppercut.
Actually I think that Rosberg has more pressure on him now than ever. See, now he knows he won't get away with cheating for a 3rd time in the season, so he is going to have to beat Hamilton on the track without sorting to dirty tricks like he did in Monaco and Spa. Now the pressure is really on him

I posted the link so people could read the whole thing in it's complete context and make up their own minds. For people who can't read it for themselves and then make up their own mind, perhaps intellectual debate isn't their thing.
All I did was post a like to an article and a few people lost their minds over it. I did not write the article. I just posted it.
........to Auto Motor und Sport, a German publication????
That is so weak dude, get a fanboy grip dawg.

No, you added commentary when it was obvious Nico was speaking , and simply explaining what went wrong in his native language to a German publication Sherlock
You're the one who needs to read the articles you post so you can understand the context Doc!
Retatrded????? Maybe you should read your own freakin' link Einstein:

I had no hybrid power, no DRS. The gearbox was always changing two gears at once.
"I had hoped we could fix it at the pitstop, but in the end, nothing worked," Rosberg is quoted by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
Auto Motor und Sport. Read much genius?
