Nico says his biggest motivator is to beat Hamilton. He says he's watched the footage of Bahrain last year and he should have won. He says he learnt a lot from that battle and hopes it will stand him In good stead for the race this weekend should they be dicing it out on track again. The thing is , there wasn't a lot of evidence through the season that he'd learnt a lot about going head to head. He also says its the same as last year, Lewis had the momentum and then it changed . After lewis had four wins, he then had his best run of the season, so he hopes to recreate that. Hope he doesn't do a Monaco to kick it off! motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2015/04/16/rosberg-defeat-to-hamilton-is-my-greatest-motivation/

just to show we havent forgotten about Nico, heres the most optimistic rendering of the current situation possible
One could almost believe this fairytale if not for this glaring boo boo
say what? hows he supposed to make the call to pit first when behind on track? the lap before?
aww bless!

Another thing today's race at Hungary has proven, is that Nico just isn't a racing driver.
He just sat there like a lame swan (posh duck?), just following the Ferrari's round and round and round, as if he had no desire to try and take the place.
And then, for his third stint, he opted for the hard tyres because... well I've no idea why? Maybe because he knew Hamilton would be on them, and he cant make his own decisions? Either way - you can guarantee that if Nico's team mate was in his position, he would of done everything within his power to overtake the red horses infront.

If someone told me Button and Nico swapped cars and helmets today, I'd believe it.

Ferrari technical director James Allison says his team has to do more before it can be really proud of the car it is putting on track each week. At Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel achieved the team's pre-season target of two race victories after taking the lead at the first corner and holding off the opposition until the chequered flag. But while Allison is happy with the team's progress since 2014, he is under no illusion that there is still plenty of work to do. "I'm completely happy with the victory and the season as a whole," he said. "I think we can be happy that we have demonstrated we have stepped up from last year, but there is an awful lot more for us to do as a team before we can feel that we are really showing a Ferrari that everyone can be really proud of. "We've said throughout that our car isn't good enough to challenge for any sort of championship this year. We will do our best to get more and more competitive race by race, but you have to be realistic about where we are working from." Allison admitted the results in Canada, Austria and Great Britain were below what the team should be achieving. "I think that the last three races have been subpar for our team. We haven't brought home what we should have done with the opportunities we had. This was more of a return to what we hoped for from the weekend, with an additional bonus thrown in by the difficulties of the people in front of us." Asked to compare the Hungary victory with the team's first win of 2015 in Malaysia, Allison added: "The similarities are that if you get away well at the start, you are in free air and you can have your race without compromise, it makes a lot of difference to the overall race. Another similarity is that the fastest of our competitors, [Lewis] Hamilton, was not there because of his own difficulties and that was also the case in Malaysia. "But the best similarity is that on both those tracks the car had good pace, and when you have good pace you can do good things." ________________________________________________

Congratulations to Nico on getting "fast lap" honors around Spa this weekend. I jest, I jest. What I really wanted to congratulate him on is the impending birth of his daughter/son (whichever the case me be) I wish you and your wife all the healthy best with your new family addition, your second life begins now! Godspeed!

Trying to find out what the baby's name is!?!? Maybe they'll name her Luna since she was born under a full moon.

That IS a very nice portrait. Congrats to Nico, and that's a beautiful name as well. Alaia, not Nico.

Thats is a great choice of name, and its nice to know Nico has a true bundle of real joy to render his WDC disapointments almost irrelevant

I bet he is gutted. Not only can he not hold onto 1st in a race. He can't even hold onto 2nd of the championship.
Shit way to lose both. A dodgy pedal damper.

I wish Nico was able to fight for the win....its no fun seeing him get away scot free with a lousy car problem. Though I don't see any trouble in him retaining 2nd. Mercedes might make Lewis no.2 in order to get Nico no.2 in the WDC if needed.

I just meant currently - not necessarily the end of season.
