I'll just reply with what I said earlier:

Rosberg: 41

Shumi: 2

Says it all 

Rosberg will never be a World Champion, unless he gets a break like Button did. Unlikely that will happen again anytime soon.

I always rated Webber above Vettel, but results show otherwise.



As an aside, I'd drop the concept of points, and World Champion decided on total races won. Might make the overpaid gays try to win at all costs.

Ohh how for the first time I want a German to win now.

Scumacher never has been that good under pressure,racing through traffic etc.He was always much more comfortable taking the lead at the start and gaining an advantage during the pitstops.Was never really much of a hard charging racer,thats a bit of a myth imo. Historically,if hes under pressure to gain or keep a position he drives into people.Ask Damon Hill,Jacques Villenueve ans many many other drivers from the last couple of decades.
As Tunnie says,over the last two seasons young Rosberg has made Scummy look decidedly ordinary.
Not sure how Rosberg ended up as a German.His dad was Finnish when he raced.
Imo Rosberg as a good (possibly very good) driver indeed.You cant tell about people until they get in a really competitive car.So much is about the car these days,hence Vettel was god last year but not so much this year.
Button isnt spectacular or aggressive.He is very much in the same mould as Prost was - uncannily smooth and therefore deceptively quick.Imo he has matured over the last two or three years into an excellent driver.In the top four of the current crop.

Yup & Rosberg was never highly rated either!

I would be the last person to defend Schumacher BUT he still has the desire to win and he has made some excellent getaways on first lap making up positions. That latter feature to me is always an indicator of a good driver- someone who sees opportunities and takes them.

I clearly watched a different race to the one The Boy watched. Dull race? There were some great overtaking manoeuvres and the outcome was never a done deal as in previous years. Want a dull race? then get some beers in for Monaco. My least favourite race of the season. We can only hope for rain.

Don't worry, he always scathing about F1 because he hates it, and always thinks it's dull unless half a dozen drivers kill themselves in crashes

TB always bangs on about how dull it is etc, but for someone who hates it with so much passion he knows a suspiciously large amount about each race..

Next we will find out that when he says he goes to France on a driving holiday he actually hires a caravan to tow and a transit van and goes with Pikeys

I did watch this race, which is unusual.

Hate is a strong word. I don't hate it. Its just dull and boring. If this one was an 'exciting' race, then clearly I haven't missed anything in all the ones I have missed.

Nobody likes to see people injured^*, but I would like to see more cars driven so hard, they are on the ragged edge. I'd also like to see some proper wheel-to-wheel racing, completely removed with the current artificial overtaking rules.

^*Actually, I can think of a handful of people I wouldn't be upset over if they were injured, but none of them drive F1 cars
