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

[The Black Knight]

It was china 2012, actually. But under Merc's strict rules it was Lewis wqho broke them first at Bahrain 2014.

You got that one wrong, mate. Nico was the one that used an incorrect engine mode in Bahrain 2014 and kicked everything off.

Amus rated Lewis 3 for this race. It can only be better, couldn´t it?

And lets not forget, Rosberg is the only proven beater of the great Michael Schumacher.

I don't think beating Schumacher when he was well past his prime counts. Alonso is the only driver on the grid with the true claim to such a honour. He won his two world championships beating Schumacher who was still very much in his prime at the time.

The problem with Rosberg is, he is in a great car and achieving race wins in a way that suggest that Ricciado or Peres or Bottas or Verstapenn or Hulkenburg or Sainz or Kyvat would certainly have won those races given the same Mercedes. Rosberg has yet to do something really exceptional at the front. If you were a team boss with a great car, and with a real choice of picking one of these drivers for a vacant seat in your team, which of these chaps would you pick?

That said, Hamilton is making too many mistakes at the moment. He is most likely to let the 2016 title slip out of grasp if he continues to make mistakes like Baku which only adds to the challenge of having less engines to fight Rosberg.

On paper, you have to start thinking this championship is Rosberg's to win or lose, depending on how he keeps his head down till the end of the season. The odds are in his favour, he just needs to keep doing whatever he is doing. Having clean race weekends.

I think the WDC title is for Rosberg to win or lose. I would say that Alonso would give his left nut to be in Rosberg's position right now. Alonso,Vettel, Raikonnen, Button and Hamilton would win the title from this position, given the chance. There is no reason why Rosberg cannot win it if he cuts out the red mist moments.

But can Hamilton steal it. I think Hamilton is very much under Rosberg's skin at the mo. With 11 points between them, anything is possible.

We have this question before but we have to ask it again with Rosberg ahead by 33 points, Can Hamilton see the writing on the wall?

I personally think it might be too early to call but the initiative is with Rosberg these days.

It's an interesting situation neither one of them wants to finish last in a two man (race for the) championship.
I just want to see The Boss put his head down and fight for this thing. It doesn't really matter to me what he says he can let his driving do that IMO.

True dat!

One DNF for Nico and it's wide open again. Let's wait and see.

Lewis is evidently still a marketing draw , as he is now set to make a cameo in the next Call of Duty issue .
His new surly and reserved persona might have something to do with the release , though , since the motion capture was only just reported , it may be some time before we see it out .
This should give him lots of time to build up the body of the character in the press .
Early reports have revealed plans for Lewis to begin speaking in a slightly more military tone , using phrasing like "taking the hill" when referring to , for example , the first turn in Austin , or "collateral damage" when referring to taking out his team-mate .
Rumors that the driver was lured to the gaming world by promise of a "really fast tank" may , however , be false , as no motion capture of Lewis seated was said to have taken place .
This has , as expected , caused rumors of the fabled "stand-up speed tank" once again , but , after the last attempt , where many , many AI characters were not actually killed when the tank treads should have ground them up , causing an unholy mess of simulated carnage , the utter embarrassment of a second try wasn't thought possible without a solid , rock star personality who could drive anything to carry it off .

That's where Lewis came in .

He will be in CoD .
That part is true .

Lewis appears to be in a bad place right now. On the race track and with his focus. Weird one to be honest.

That's right. Let's not exaggerate how big this difference is. One DNF and not only the difference is down to 8 points but that could be quite a blow mentally for Rosberg and set a down trend for him and quite a boost for Hamilton.
The title is still up for grabs.
Let's not set the scene so we can talk about a 'miraculous' recovery
