Hamilton - Is revival possible or Is a new Champion in the making

[TorqueCurve]

Yeah , Mia , we know you to be a big Lewis fan as well !

Big Lewis fan or not, surly people cant be writing off a 3 time champion already? Rosberg is probably stronger than he has ever been, but he hasn't actually been tested yet.. I look forward to seeing that happen this year.

I really hope Vettel, Hamilton and Rosberg get into a proper 3 way fight later in the season, if Kimi can find a bit of pace would be awesome for him to be involved too... Although I am starting to doubt Ferraris ability to truly match Merc this season.

IMO... Rosberg will make history again this year.. The first driver to win the first 3 races and not win the championship. That stat is a little off as 3 races is < % of the total calendar than it normally is...

Given the length of this years season I think Hamilton will get the job done, probably with 2 races to go. I know that is a little optimistic but I think he will do it. If however he has another 2 or 3 issues, especially if they come in the next few races it might not go to plan.

Once the fezzas start applying some pressure (And I think they will) I don't think Rosberg will be able to handle it as well as Hamilton.

Very committed , Mr. Curve .

You first say Rosberg won't win .
Then you say Hamilton might not if he has more issues .
And finally that Rosberg won't win if pressured .

Who will win ?

Lewis will be in a lot of trouble when Kimi finds his feets for real, the signs are ther this year.

I whish. But moore seriously, Lewis needs a win, now!!!

I believe the message to be pretty consistent... Stated that Rosberg will make history again but not in such positive light this time, I also gave some fair reasoning as to why it isn't really a comparable stat this year too.

But let me have another go at it.... All being equal (with regard reliability) I believe that Hamilton will win it, it will be superb... reliability however, is rarely equal and the racing gods are fickle beasts (Just ask Kvyat).

I have nothing against any driver on the grid, I think Rosberg has made a fantastic start to the year and if he goes on to win it then it will be very deserved. I do also think that Lewis is faster.

I think Rosberg have a great chance of winning it this year. But it takes a calculating head to string out the number of points required to win the title in the end. Though Rosberg has shown some robustness at the first real challenge at the front, he has also shown a reckless ruthlessness which may ruin his chances.

If Rosberg can use his aggression in a measured way, knowing when not to risk throwing points away by crashing. Then l think he can pull off winning the title. It may be close at the end, but he may still have enough to win it.

Going by the Spanish GP, l have to say that there is serious doubt that Rosberg would win the title. He is fighting the battle but not realizing that winning the war is what matters. If you ask me, l would say that we do not know yet who would win the driver's title of 2016. It could be any one of the drivers in the Mercedes, Redbull and Ferrari. I say this as l suspect Rosberg would fumble it by taking unnecessary risks and losing points in the process, giving the opposition the opportunity to catchup.

For most people, it would be great to see a different driver world champion this year. Some like to see Rosberg win it, l like to see Verstapenn win it. But real great champions do not pass up seasons such as this where they know they have a real chance of winning it. Hence it would be crazy to think for a moment that Hamilton would not somehow win it, come Abu Dhabi.

Personally, I feel it would be crazier to disregard other people's views based on your own wishful thinking. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Wishful thinking keeps lotteries alive .
If there's one race that can be a lottery , it's Monaco .
And , if it rains , it can be anybody's win .

So , not so crazy .

I think you are the oracle Bagwan. It rained at Monaco and now we have a gap which is less than a race win between Rosberg and Hamilton. I wonder if anyone still think it is impossible that anyone other than Rosberg would win this season's DWC. I still maintain that it is crazy to write off a 3 time world champion in the fastest car in the paddock.

And a driver who can "Race" in the wet ,blowing his team mate away in the process ,doing 33 laps on wets,and staying out long enough to take slicks Now Rosberg leading driver has choise to pit first,and Hamilton is convinced he can stay on wets till it drys enough to take slicks Whatever dj says Nico looked very mediocre today

[Mia 01]

Lets see !? This time the fluke was on Hammys side.
