Where does Nico Rosberg go from here?

[Nitrodaze]

I trade the FOREX market and occasionally there are times when you do your analysis and you are certain you have cornered an opportunity but for reasons outside your control the market just simply go the other way and l see my well laid plan disintegrate into a loss of money. That helpless empty feeling is what it must feel like for Rosberg to find that the fight for the title is over before the end of the season. All further potential to snatch the title is gone.
I do not find his reaction inappropriate nor has he lost my appreciation. His disappointment is the proper reaction as it shows that he consider himself world championship material and is simply showing that he is hungry for the opportunity to win the next title.
If the role was reversed, Hamilton would feel the same way but may have the courtesy of conceding defeat with more magnanimity.

You have to remember that Rosberg had the larger share of DNF due to reliability and had started a new family this season. Supporting his pregnant wife and the arrival of a baby all has their toll on his competitive edge. This accounts partially for the gap between himself and Hamilton. The other reason of course was Hamilton upped his game this season by fixing his major weaknesses of 2014; particularly his qualifying. The single guy is always going to beat the newly wed, new dad due to the difference in focus and commitment.

Rosberg would bounce back in 2016, and he must fix his weaknesses of 2015 to have a chance to take on Hamilton and beat him next season. He has to find some on track toughness and aggression to be in with a shout of winning the drivers world title with Hamilton in the same car.
