    He's solid and quick, that's for sure. But I've yet to see him really under pressure. I hope he starts winning soon. It was funny how he was able to get round that corner and Schumacher wasn't...

    I have to say that Rosberg reminds me a bit of Häkkinen. Despite being his modest self and being a bit off the radar in terms of attention he keeps doing a consistently professional job and beating team-mates. There were doubters about Häkkinen too before him finally starting to challenge for WDC's, so looking forward to see Rosberg reaching those heights one day as well. But it remains to be seen, how well can pure Mercedes GP replicate the rise of McLaren-Mercedes from the mid-90's - after all, they were also 4th in WCC after starting the co-operation in 1995.
    I read somewhere that Mika was Nico's idol so....

    Come on everyone, Nico stands no chance next season, he will be Schumacher's second driver, relegated to be his rear gunner, in much the same way as all Schumacher's team mates were at Ferrari.

    Nico is good, very good, I hope he leaves Mercedes and returns to Williams, at the very least he will get a fair crack of the whip there.

    regards scaliwag.

    What have you been smoking!? Rosberg beats the living daylights out of Schumacher this season. They end the season with Schumacher equal or perhaps a little bit faster (not tenth but in the 0,01), but that is the last 4 races or so. I'm not sure on the basis of the last races Rosberg wil beat Schumacher in the same manner as the 2010 season. But no doubt about this season, Rosberg is the current top 5 driver, only Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel is above him.

    I'll be very surprised if Nico doesn't get a couple podiums next season. Let's hope Mercedes GP get their act together for developing their 2011 car.

    Yeah, Rosberg has been solid this season. He seems to have matured into a rather useful F1 driver. Hopefully he and The Shoe will have a car that can challenge for wins and the WDC/CC next season. Bring on 2011!

    he really made the most of a good strategy call to finish fourth, looks like pitting at the start was the way to go unless you were right up there.

    i think that rosberg will be a dark horse next year
