It amazes me how someone in such a brilliant car like Mercedes how Rosberg can be so far away from Hamilton.

That appears to happen to Rosberg as Mercedes standard strategy for him to stay 2s behind hamilton and then do nothing while hamilton performs an undercut.

I guess it's understandable that Ferrari fans might see how their team expected drivers such as Irvine, Barrichello and Massa to support Schuey and Alonso and assume that other teams and drivers will act in a similar manner.

Yeah I don't know why Rosberg turns up to be 10s slower than Hamilton.

Mercedes should think about sacking Rosberg soon. Unless they just want a weak numbet 2 to score constructors points.

It's obvious Rosberg isn't pushing Hamilton. Hamilton might be motivated by winning easy champipships at the moment but how long will that last? Even Lewis must get bored of cake walks sooner or later.

Why does Hamilton need support? I didnt think he was a number 1 driver?

I didn't say he might need help.

I said it's understandable that a Ferrari fan might assume a team would operate that kind of strategy.

Unless I'm mistaken, a SC requires a restart this year.

That means that, at best, everybody will get the chance to fit new tyres once the race is red-flagged and Hamilton would restart in 3rd with no advantage.

Course, more realistically, the race will simply trundle around for a few laps under the SC and then it'll be concluded with Hamilton in 3rd.

Bit of a cock-up.

Its not an assumption it is fact that Hamilton is now the number 1 driver of Mercedes.

Either way i still dont understand why Rosberg just doesnt have the pace of Hamilton

Was it Hamilton or the team's call on that pointless pitstop?

Doesn't seem to be much wrong with Rosberg's pace in clear air.

Hamilton stopped on the circuit.

Was wondering if he did that deliberately to dodge the podium and interviews.
Seems he's moving again though.

What about Rosbergs pace up until the safety car. He had no answer what so ever

My goodness, so they made the wrong call. Anyone would think they took a knife to Hamilion's tyres. They still got the win.

You seem rather, erm, conflicted.
