What a load of rubbish. He could just come out and say "I hate that Hamilton is winning", I'd have more respect for him then.
Anyway his career was a joke, I can't even recall what he did in Toyota.

McNish seem to be more sure of Rosberg's ability to beat Hamilton than Rosberg himself is.

Its the same old story. These guys are always more sure of any drivers ability as long as he is the closest challenger to Lewis
Some are cleverer than others and at last bring theories and facts, and some are so dumb they think they are the first ones to go down the route and that no one notices so they can bring out half arsed ABH (anyone but Hamilton)stuff and be taken seriously by the h8rz, most of whom are still anally sore from last year and are a little carefull to speak out so quick

This is a good time to revisit the words of Lewis/Nicos karting team boss Keep it up Lewis, be as moody and as petulant as you want at anytime.  |

Again it wasn't even a challenge, Hamilton controlled the race and just cruised. I love how in the press conference Rosberg complained that Hamilton was backing him up and making his tyres go off, then Hamilton made an analogy of tyres are like trying to save money, you want £50 left out of a starting £100 rather than £25 left. To which Vettel remarked saying he hoped Hamilton didn't have much left and Rosbergs reply was "yeah that's the problem, he had loads left"
The fact Hamilton could go 1 second fast on "old" tyres multiple laps in a row and even said he had loads of tyre life left and wanted to extend the gap in the last few laps but couldn't because of the safety car shows how much he wasn't trying. Thinking about the long game from start to finish both in the race and in the championship.

Lewis completely outclassed Rosberg all weekend. The closest Rosberg came to giving a challenge was his last run in q3, that was very close, but other than that he was no where. And now he's psychologically on the back foot as well. Lewis was enjoying that press conference when Nico was losing his rag, couldn't keep a little smile iff his face. I loved his answer when Nico was complaining. ' it's not my responsibly to look after Nico's tyres or to manage his race' .
Nico has nothing to complain about. Lewis was controlling everything, and When Merc asked Lewis to up it, he did, when they asked him to hit certain times for laps, he did it. Merc got the one two they wanted, a one/two. What else did Rosberg want? Lewis to pull over?

I know it's been said since Quali in Melbourne - but Rosberg is well and truly acting like a beaten man already.
And did you see how aggressive Hamiltons grid position was! Talk about showing your intentions "don't even think about it boy - this is MY race"

You think it was intentional? The grid positioning? Lewis said not. But if it was....don't you just love a man who takes control!(can't find the smilie I want!!! This will have to do)  |

Nico's answer....
Lewis said he couldn't reverse to do anything to alter his start position...& it didn't hamper him...

So am I right in thinking what he said was....his only chance of winning the race( because he was unable to challenge Lewis early) was to challenge at the end of the race. And to this end he required Lewis to help him. REALLY?  |

It's maybe part of the...'Let's make F1 exciting'
Do you remember last year...Monaco weekend before Quali..?
Briatore & a couple of others were asked....to give ideas to spice up the show....
So maybe the plan was...just go slow enough to make Ferrari look like a threat....
Save tyres by keeping out of dirty air...& give a Bahrain 2014 display in the last few laps...
But Nico was frightened of Vettel getting in on the act....cos he might end up third again....

At least that should shut up the ones who say Nico is not allowed to race Lewis, or that there have been team orders since Spa
actually we even heard that Merc lot to Ferrari in Sepang because Lewis was not fast enough, so maybe Lewis was also just too plain slow in China AND Nico the faster driver is under orders not to pass, but he forgot about this when making a prat of himself by complaining that Lewis idnt make it easy for him to be a number 2
oh well, how boring would it be without halfwit h8rz

Edit..the above link has been removed...It suggested that Briatore was going to run in front of whichever Merc was in the lead.....This was a bit too topical, as a bloke did run across the track in front of a car, earlier in the weekend. |

Unsurprisingly - the British press haven't held back on Rosberg.... It'll be a surprise to him, he was surprised by the booing post-spa and post-monaco lol |

Lewis is learning fast. And all they can throw back is 'Oooooooo don't spray the grid girls with champagne, it's sexist and demeans women'
Whether Rosberg's outburst was an attempt to grow a pair as mercedes suggested to him, or wether it was born of complete frustration over Lewis' pace, is a mute point. The effect is the same, Lewis has the upper hand in the psychological games
