didnt like the brakes manufacturer that merc used wasn't it? had he used brembo all his racing career an merc used a different supplier? something like that, so wasn't confident on the brakes
I think Rosberg believed his own hype last year, thinking that the car's stratospheric performance, and his engineers telling him how to drive was his own driving ability. He doesn't see how much the car flatters him.
I think he really believed he was the best driver during the course of last season, because he got wins when Hamilton's car failed. Rosberg somehow believed that his supposed cleverness would overcome Hamilton's sheer speed. I don't think Rosberg really cares how he wins ie using "clever" (cheating) tactics as long as it gets him the title at the end of the year.
This year reality has hit Rosberg, especially after his tactics last year and complaining this year has spectacularly backfired. Now he's fighting Vettel as well as Hamilton, and I think the pressure shows. Things Rosberg could get away with last year because Mercedes won't protest their own car (eg cutting a chicane and failing to lose a place, yet not being made to give it back to Hamilton) won't work when it's a Ferrari asking for the place back.
I think we're seeing Rosberg in the middle of a bit of a meltdown, and I wouldn't be surprised to see more ill-advised actions and statements over the course of this season as he mentally adjusts to his defacto position as a number 2 driver.

Ham wasn't even bluffing up qualifying much last year. There were break issues, and Romberg pulling up issues.once those races are removed from the stats, ham clearly won the qualifying and race battles.
Ros just isn't as good as he thought he was, can be as intelligent as you want but without track position there's not a hell of a lot you can do. Unlike MS who had track position and ruthless.
First thing i thought too... brundle wants to do this properly. Do like Senna but Brundle / davidson etc. Do a much better job on technical side like that.Love Brundle's explanation on lap comparison between Lewis and Seb, much more information given on racing lines, crosswinds, steering angle, track limits, hitting the apex, corners, marker boards, compared to yesterday's crap effort from Bruno Senna.
