Lewis isn't a happy camper. He was beaten fair and square.
But it's his championship to lose.

Great lap from Nico, wondering if Lewis will be better in Q3 next season as it's weird seeing him beat this often. Still bet on Lewis for the win.
Nicos sense of humor. Read the Will Buxton article.
People give him shit because he's shown next to nothing in the race, where the position actually matters. He doesn't convert enough poles to wins.
Q2 was on a tyre that did an extra lap that he borked. Incidentally the same tyre he starts the race on.

Don't worry, should Hamilton get stuck behind a Williams at the start (which I doubt), he'll get to pass them once the pit stops start. After that, we might see Ricciardo being a threat at the end.
So where does Hamilton have to finish for Rosberg to win the title?
I think I'd like Rosberg to win because I think he's pretty likeable and I'd like another Championship winner to be on the grid. That being said, I was formerly a Hamilton hater but I wouldn't begrudge him victory.

He's shown that this is exactly what he can't do. Only in quali.

So what did Rosberg say to his engineer? I missed it.

Reminder: The VoD for todays Formula E race is now up on http://www.fiaformulae.com/en/live-streaming.aspx
The slogan of F1
That might make the first 1/3 of the race a bit interesting, but in the end the outcome will probably be the same. I think the only real things which can change the outcome of the race tomorrow will be either a mechanical failure or an accident. Neither of which anyone should be wishing for.
Now if this last race was Brazil instead and it rains, then it's really an open championship. Lol.

It doesn't work yet, but it's great that they give you the possibility to stream it from their site. Bernie's probably all like "omg, think of all the money they're leaving on the table!".
Hamilton is a great starter. Not much to worry about. And as much as williams put on a show in Q2 on Saturdays, their pace and strategy leaves much to be desired on race day.
If Hamilton doesn't take rosberg under drs, he'll take him in the pits, but i fully expect ham to win tomorrow. He has the superior race pace.
You're really trying a bit hard.Don't worry, it's okay. Hamilton is going to win this.
I promise I'll stop after tomorrow's race
Even if they do, they will blunder their first pitstops and Lewis would have nice clean road ahead
Yeah, I haven't checked the long run pace from practice but I'm assuming the William's pace is quite a bit off that of the Mercedes so even if Hamilton does get stuck behind one of them, he'll pass them on the outlap anyway.
Depends, a bit of aggression, get a tyre blow out on a Williams front wing and then it's a whole different race. Probably hoping for too much, but I can always hope.
Oh man
Meanwhile

Tomorrow will be exciting for sure.
Replace Massa's father with Rosberg's wife.

Only if it was in Brazil..
Rosberg has shown that he's got the upper-hand in quali, albiet with a small margin if you factor in Hamilton's technical issues. But that's what it takes in a sport like F1 that splurges with talent (supposedly)..
Hammy has been better overall and truly deserves this one unless he loses without the double points kicking in.
I'm hoping for a boring race with 1-2 mercs end

That doesn't matter. Lewis has been the better driver of the two all season. He deserves this and he's going to get it tomorrow. If Nico's going to step up his game during the races next season, it's going to be different, obviously. But as it is right now, it's not even a debate who deserves it.
Whats wrong with you.
Awww you're so cute.

Rosberg has shown he's got tremendous 1-lap pace, but also shit race pace. Basically, he's shown he'a rich man's Trulli.
H2H in qualifying in 2014: 10 Nico - 7 Lewis (adjusting for HUN and GER). I think over their 2 seasons together, they are now level on H2H in qualifying.
Race H2H though is thoroughly dominated by Lewis, 9-3 in his favor.
That said, great job by him today. Lewis was too inconsistent to make it work - at best he would have been 1 tenth off Rosberg had he nailed his lap, but Rosberg was just much aggressive, especially under braking, to achieve lap time.
That said, Lewis had much faster race pace on Friday, so it's still game on. And Abu Dhabi will be much easier to pass on than Brazil given the longer straights, although (initially) getting close will be harder.
Damn, he's got a terrible sense of humour (at least in English).
It's not even 2011.

I don't necessarily agree with him, but how is what he said any different than all the ball-licking of Lewis that goes on in here?
German humour.
