Thats not how it looks to me, apart from the compromised starts he has been on blistering form, pumping in some seriously good qualifying laps and making the comeback drives he's known for, when he gets the new clutch system starts dialed, he'll be back on the top step.
To me his deamenour so for this season has been calm confident and relaxed, definitely dosnt look to be lacking motivation or fire.

Pretty much like Rosberg a couple of seasons ago. Not denying Hamilton is a faster driver though.

I just watched the quali highlights. Real shame about Lewis.
Perhaps I'm misreading Nico, but he was just interviewed and seemed surprisingly downbeat, almost underwhelmed by being in pole position again. He's perhaps maturing a bit and being realistic with himself. Because he said this is too early to feel like he's dominating, only 3 qualis in with one of the longest seasons ahead.

It'll still bunch em up and makes tagging likely !
In fact I predict that'll happen.
Ricciardo makes the gate and the Ferraris tag/muscle past Rosberg a couple of bends later.

Hamilton should quit, even his car knows he isn't bothered and past it enough so it's stopped working for him. Rosberg got it in the bag this year, about time he showed his true potential after all these years in poor cars!

Really hope Rosberg gets mugged through the ever tighter radius T1 and T2 switchback. I'll be amazed if Hamilton finishes better than 5th, if Rosberg/Ferrari/Redbull all finsih without issues.

Yeah and it'll be a McLaren 1-2 with Gutierrez taking 3rd !

Happens every single year.

its almost like the only cars on the track are mercedes and ferrari, yea?
So you haven't watched any of the races this year then.
I've watched them all, thanks.
Watching teams fight for best of rest isn't that much fun, most of the overtaking is to due to tyre degradation and/or DRS.
Verstappen makes it somewhat interesting.

Smr, are you gonna take me up on my bet? If so we choose a charity of our choice and loser sends over a tenner to thy charity?

Did anyone see Ted's notebook where the notebook flew away? PMSL 
Are you 8 years old? you seem to have difficulty with the opinions of others.
Given what we have had over the last few years, stating the first couple of races this year have been dull is not an opinion, its just wrong.
Your trying to be cool because ****ging off every race a Mercedes wins as dull is the new hip bandwagon in town.
If all your interested in is who wins, why do you bother to watch any sport with more than 2 competitors?
