Lol. Tim, that "spoilt little rich kid" could apply equally to both of them.

Now yes, but go have a look how and where Lewis grew up. his dad had to work 4 jobs to buy his first go cart. On the other hand you have Rosberg who was born into a family with more money than ever needed.

I have no doubt that Lewis thinks he is better than Nico as a driver. He would not be a competitive spirit if he didn't.

However Nico has always been able to buy his way in Motorracing whereas Lewis didn't and its once McLaren took him on way back when he was like 12 that he started to get access to the best equipment.

 

Very few F1 drivers don't have an aire of entitlement about them to lesser or greater extent but Nico just behaves in the car as if his privileged upbringing means everyone should just accept his poor driving behaviour.

Either that or he digs into his dads vodka cabinet too often

I do not see this aire of entitlement at all, in fact I think Rosberg is the nice guy here and Hamilton has always been acting like a spoiled brat. Hamilton has grown up a bit but not much. So what if Rosberg was born into money? All these drivers are stinking rich. I have new found respect for Rosberg as a driver for kicking the arrogant playstation brat`s arse.

Rosberg will never ever win a world title. Lewis allready has one. Will be 2 by the end of the season.

How many seasons has Rosberg been in a title winning car? 0. How many season has Lewis been in a winning car? Many, and only 1 world title, he is just as bad a driver as Kimi.

Honestly, 1. and that year he won the title. He is only 29 points behind, and lets not forget, the last race of the season is double points, so you wil receive 50 points for a win. Title is still wide open, even Riciardo has a shot. Cant wait for Monza this weekend.

You're obviously forgetting (or choosing to!) 2007, where they should have strolled to the title and Hamster and Alonso kept tripping up each other so badly that Kimi snuck it...

 

Double points is... oh wait, I'll get a warning... I'm not a fan.

Agree on the double points part must say. And yes, 2007 he could and maybe should have won. But for 1 error in his rookie season that is... Would be far more accurate to say Alonso SHOULD have won that year...

the Ferari was slightly quicker in 2007 than the Mcclaren.Kimi was also very average that year.

Have been working my way through some old Season reviews. Started 1990, up to 1997 now. A couple of things stand out.

 

- tires have been an issue for ages. 1997 the worst I've seen so far with MASSIVE blistering and blow outs.

- Engine and gearbox failures were the order of the day. Reliability in general was poor with it deciding quite a few championships.

- drivers were in and out of seats quicker than you could say pay driver.

- Accidents were plenty and BIG. Broken arms, ribs, legs, ankles

- Senna is a legend for a reason. Forgive me for saying this, but some of his efforts in 92 and 93 remimnds me of Alonso. Somehow he managed to keep himself in the running in a car that shouldn't even be near a podium, nevermind the top step.

- Damon Hill threw 1994 and 1995 away big time.

- Poor Nigel Mansell was in and (with great effort) out of seats. But I like him more today than I did back then. Entertaining to watch and spoke his mind.

- What happened to the early promise Alesi showed?

- Except for 92 and 93 championshipsnwere closely fought and usually right to, or close to the end. Epic.

I have a sneaky suspicion double points are going to ruin a great championship.

Just imagine the Spa incident happened in the last race..............

['hamster]

looks like Max Verstappen is having a embarrassing start to F1...

 

 

To all the Hamilton Rosberg posts.... I'm a Hamilton fan. Whether or not he wins this season I don't really care. It's more fun seeing Rosberg and Hamilton battle week after week than having one guy win every week. Whether its your fault or not... that's just how it is

 

Can't wait for Monza!

Remember how Hamilton held up on purpose his own team mate Alonso in the pits during qualifying one race - just lame and bad sportsmanship, not even Schumacher steeped that low.
