Nico lets things prey on his mind.....as happened last year, after Hungary, through the summer break to the Spa slashing. He obviously thinks about things a lot. In the German press they are saying that Nico maybe worried about his wife. www.grandprix.com/ns/ns30370.html?

Sorry to hear that actually, I thought earlier this year how having a kid might impact a racer's mentality. We've seen examples of it going in the right direction and actually improving someone's mindset in the case of Grosjean. But I never used to worry about flying before I had kids.

One doesnt need to understand the captions to get the gist - the facial expressions say it all Come on Nico, how you behave and handle the next couple of races could seal your whole reputation for ever Especially what he says after beating Seb next time.

Hope she recuperates quickly and Nico becomes a lot happier mentally to attack China.

It's generally the earlier part of pregnancy that causes nausea, but she does sound as though she has it particularly badly. He must be very concerned. I seem to remember kate( Prince Williams wife) suffering in a similar way with her first baby.

Coulthard, stating that Nico is sending out mixed messages and is undoing much of his own PR about him being a thinkng driver. The calls for help over the radio being one example. He was saying in Sustralia that he wants to connect more with the British media and appeal to the British fans. But when Coultard asked his manager if he'd speak to him! he said no because he was talking to RTL, a German station www.planetf1.com/driver/3213/40677/Coulthard-Worrying-signs-for-Nico

I just watched the podium interviews at Malaysia. Rosberg is a broken man. When asked about China he said We are going their to win.
When asked if he was going to beat Lewis he said I will push him hard.
No I am going to win. I will beat Lewis.

Maybe he's focused on becoming a baby daddy?

These ponces gotta realise that they can never replicate the Murray Walker 'kingmaker' role. They are in an era of internet etc, and they have next to zero credibility in the first place, Brundle in particular is starting to realise that he is not some new Murray, in an era that one negative word from him decided a drivers future I mean, when Brundle, a guy who never even won a race tells us Lewis is too hard on tyres or too 'agressive', he can only afford to get it completely wrong once or twice (which he has)before he becomes a meaningless irrelevance (which he has) Coulthard should be more careful before trying politics, IMHO

I know. I don't pay much heed to anything uttered by the steak club diners. But I do think Nico has a few demons he needs to deal with.

Nico shared a picture of his very tiny and very cute ass.

This is a little harsh. I've just seen it on Twitter But he really doesn't do himself any favours. What did he want Lewis to do? Rosberg finished 2nd, well clear of the Ferraris, did he want Lewis to hand the win over? Or make it very easy for him to take the win. I'm a little confused whT Rosberg was trying to achieve by making a big deal of this. Attachment Deleted

I was hoping that the post race interviewer would say to Nico.... If you were in Lewis' position....what would you have done differently?
I do understand Nico's frustration..but hope we don't see the cheating/slashing etc that ensued last year. I know some think it spices things up...but things are what they are...the others have to do a better job..... I would like a long awaited.....LEWIS WINS...total domination...

I can understand Nico too. And I don't really dislike Nico. He's coming to terms with the fact that Lewis is the better driver and his options are running out. His dad knew it when they were kids, and tried to keep Lewis and Nico in different categories as they rose through the ranks, but eventually, if you want the crown you have to beat the best. It can't be easy for Nico.

Thing is they both know all about each other from when they were kids - they know exactly their strengths and weaknesses and are likely just as 'provocative' to each other. I cant help thinking Nico should have kept quiet about it. Its obvious thy had an arrangement that whoever was in front woulntd back the other into Seb - and thats what Nico was really bitching about - Lewis breaking the arrangement. But then after Monaco and Spa last year, Nico just got punked with 10x more class and atyle than hi own clumsy attempts
Apparently Lewis named his dog after Nico - ROS(berg)(ni)CO - Roscoe the mutt
They are as bad as each other Lewis moaned after Monaco but it worked for him, this time ound Nico doesnt have the benefit of doubt from the ABL he had last year, by now everyone knows the story of the last 15 years, Nico has always been Lewis' b**ch

Nico just withers on the vine. I hate to pile on but Nico really deserves the pounding he's taking within the team and the media. He really should show, first himself then the team and finally us F1 viewers that he has some goods to potentially be an F1 Champ...by focusing on his side of the garage (not what Lewis is doing with setup), stop the damn complaining and moaning, quit asking engineering what "the other car" is doing during races (they can't tell you anyway), and finally, beat your team-mate fair and square (no dirty business). You're still not going to beat Lewis but at least you won't mar the annals of the F1 history books as "gutless with the best car." Get on with it!

Responding to some of the comments in the Button thread here. I think there's a lot of subtle projecting and reflecting going on in the dynamics of Nico as they pertain to Vettel and Button. There are clear reminders in all of this that the sport is not only about being good, but being in the right place at the right time. Nico is good. Good enough to be WDC in the right car. His only hurdle is overcoming his teammate who happens to be great. Button I think was in the exact position that Nico finds himself in, but with the different being that his teammate at the time wasn't great. So perhaps there's some reflecting going on. On the projecting front, there's a lot going on between Nico and Vettel.Perhaps the nationality aspect of things, and the feeling that Vettel has what Nico could have given the car he happens to find himself in. Once again though, it boils down to timing and skill and the right car. There is every possibility that Nico would have gone through a streak of multiple championship years just like Vettel did. I think both of them *know* just that. In any case I'll close with my old alma mater's slogan. To be good is not enough, when you dream of being great.
