didnt quite a few people have a go at hamilton 2 races ago for wanting to stop and save the engine with a damaged car, now people are suggesting rosberg should do it.

I was one of the ones who though he should have stopped once it was apparent that the car was damaged and was not fast enough to get into the points.

But there was a vocal "He's not a racer" element.

Given the speed of Rosbergs Mercedes at the moment, I'd pull in and get out of the car. 5 seconds a lap slower than Hamilton.

Think this is going to be a dull one. All gaps seem to be spreading out

CaptainRAVE · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:20

Anything could happen. Hamilton could yet have more trouble

Finners · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:20

Ahh that explains why rosberg is so slow

SPARC · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:20

Just pull him in and right this one off.

Interesting. 2 different windscreens on the 2 Mercedes. Hamilton has a more traditional one and Rosberg has a serrated one.

Might as well retire Rosberg

It's usually a dull race, someone (read Maldonado) will bin it into a wall about halfway through so we get a safety car to wake everyone up for a bit!

Yep, seems to be going that way.

Could be some end of the race incidents though.

Rosberg to force a safety car with . . I dunno, 3 laps remaining? Tactically it would be a good call if he cant make up the places.

Double upshifts for Rosberg. If he gets anything from this race at all it's going to be a good achievement.

Can't see nico lasting much longer if his car is jumping two gears at a time.
He might be quicker walking

Rosberg to 'accidentally' turn in to Hamilton as he overtakes

413x · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:22

Yeah definitely retire Rosberg.
Only stressing the gearbox

CaptainRAVE · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:23

The limiter isn't even working!

Pigeon_Killer · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:23

Rosberg's getting a driving lesson over the radio

It would be too obvious and would result in race ban(s).

englishpremier · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:24

Wasn't that just driver coaching on the radio for Rosberg?

413x · 21 Sep 2014 at 13:24

How is Rosberg even got a car that is driving!
It's like there is a ferret in the electronics gnawing wires

I'm guessing the DRS button wont work either so even if he does manage to get past the slowest guys he wont get far up the grid.
