How many times has he beaten him this year in a straight fight vs Hamilton having issues or cocking up the start?
It was the same during the Vettel time. Vettel never really got the respect he deserved until he joined Ferrari
Hamilton fucking up his start is a straight fight. Start is part of the race, and Lewis is poor at it.

I don't like maymay pictures but this one applies to you and Rosberg in this case.

As opposed to everyone else who reported the same last week?
Apparently Liberty is making the first payment this week, when it will become official.

Wow, that crash!

Really nasty crash. Hope they are both ok.
What an intensely boring race. On top of that, we have Haas completely fucking up with the strategy call. The NBC commentators were completely bewildered by the call to put GRO on another pair of SS.
My roommate basically just said "why do you watch this sport" lmao
The Italian podium is fuckin' amazing though, wow.

Define "beat".
You mean only have a sliver of a chance because he was gifted a 43 point lead due to problems with Lewis' car, which evaporated into a 19 point deficit, even while his team mate had to nurse his engines, which he was then again gifted down to a 9 point deficit because Lewis had to take a penalty beacause of the engine issues which gave him the 43 point deficit that he wasted anyway, got destroyed in quali but got lucky that Lewis had a poor start and now the gap is two points?
So basically, if we ignore the fact that Lewis would probably be about 50 points ahead of Nico if not for the engine blowups in china russia and wherever else he had issues, being demoted to the back of the grid twice, unable to finish qualifying multiple times, then yeah, Nicos performing pretty much on par with a three time world champ.
But he isnt.
Without Lewis' engine issues, Nico would be taking a points battering possibly even worse than last year.
And everybody knows that.

Not to mention that it was all down to Mercedes sabotaging his car, so that Nico would be WDC this year. And yet Lewis fought it and went ahead anyway.
He is frankly heroic.

Ferrari: Forever third
It was a non event this race, Lewis cannot afford to keep fucking up like this. Now the gap is 2 points between ROS and HAM.
Both GP2 and GP3 races had more excitement hahaaaaa

The Stoff is just another Hulk. Nothing more than a B grade driver.
Seems Kyvat is done? Says he can't confirm whether he'll be racing in Singapore.

Can't help but feel Kvyat is stuck in that car now because Red Bull are hardly going to promote Gasly or Giovinazzi when they're fighting over the GP2 title.
That's completely irrelevant. Unless Rosberg himself sabotaged Hamilton's car he should get respect when he wins an F1 race. You don't have to like the guy or think he's the best driver in the world, just fucking applaud the winner of the race.

It's 100% relevant if everyone watching knows the ONLY possible way for him to be in contention this year is if Lewis has car problems. You don't get respect from that.
It's 100% relevant when almost every race win this season for Ros has happened because Hams car did not allow him to challenge in one way or another. You don't get respect from that.
Put together with Ros' inability to even show good race craft against other cars, let alone his team mate in one on one battles, it just doesn't give people any reason to respect him as a driver.
Beating Hamilton in a one on one fight a good amount is how he will get respect.
In the same way that nobody would respect Hamilton the same if he got beat HANDILY by Alonso three years in a row, people aren't going to feel the same for Ros either.
Then there's his personality, stolen from a procedural PR script coding machine.

He didnt actually fuck up, its a problem with the Merc. Its has happen to Hamilton a number of times as well as Nico.
Merc know theres a problem there, they've practiced starting a number of times trying to fix it and finding their starts are inconsistent.
Its effecting both drivers and its not a driver fault, Merc have already stated it hasnt been a driver issue.
huh? Hamilton admitted it was his fault.

Initially on track yes, but go read todays articles.
You mean to say that all the times Lewis and Verstappen won driver of the day they actually deserved to win it?
Thanks for clarifying this Zeknurn, that's good information to know, we can table these dumb conspiracy theories of rigged votes.
This is amazing.

Merc ALWAYS take the blame for their drivers fuck-ups.

Except when they don't. Like in Barcelona. Or Baku, Or Austria. Or the multitude of other fucks up the team didn't take the blame for in the past.
"60% of the time, it works every time."
It's not exactly a mystery that the mercs starts are all over the place this year.
Ham/Ros didn't wake up in 2016 and forget how to make a car go forwards off the line.
There is obviously an underlying issue with their clutch that makes it unreliable or unpredictable.

Alonso's radio laughter made him driver of the day.
Boring race to watch and i agree that if Lewis didn't have the issues he has had so far this season he would be stomping Nico on points.
I don't disrespect Nico but he is not in the same class as Lewis and some others. He struggles when under pressure

This should just be a Danny Ricky gif thread.
To anyone that still believed the fairytale that James Allison wasn't fired (aka the 2016 Ferrari scapegoat):

Looks like chubby Jon Stewart in fake disguise.
If they won't sack him at the end of this season I predict that he won't make it to fifth race of 2017 season, unless mother Mary shows to their development team / RBR and Merc screw it big time

I give Arrivabene to Leave badly by the end of the 2017 season if Ferrari are still struggling for 3rd place spots on the podium
