Hamilton to win it on the final double points race after Rosberg retirement?

Has to be a pretty hollow feeling for Rosberg if he goes on to win this championship given it's only due to Hamiltons bad luck

Rubbish, I doubt if he would give a stuff however he wins... Only way it would feel hollow is if Hamilton got injured or something

I really hope not.

I doubt he will give a flying ****. If you were World Champion would you really care what happened to your competitors?

Personally, yes. I never like to win something feeling I didn't "earn it" fairly, so to speak.

Whether an F1 driver would feel like that in such a situation says everything you need to know about their character. The best sportsmen and women will always want to win something "fair and square". Those who don't give a toss how they win aren't worth anything in my opinion.

Hamilton will be on for a 50point win and the car will explode 3 corners from the end or something.

So what is that now?

2 DNFs
2 Qualis ruined by mechanical failures
1 Pole setting lap ruined by team mates yellow flag
1 Race where team mate cuts corner massively to escape from DRS

Swings and roundabouts. If Massa didn't have 3 retirements in 2008 chances are he would've been the World Champion instead of Hamilton.

Alonso sneaks up into P2

Someone spin, then reverse back on to track right now... go on...

Rosberg needs to pull a lap out, no point being mid pack if your going for the WDC

Exactly this.

If you're a sportsman, you should want to win because you've beaten the best, not because the best didn't have a chance to compete

What? ultimate pace is one thing, he has the car to pass anyone in race pace. His team mate is 58 places behind him. Starting top 6 he'd win easily. He'll end up top 3 even not pushing much(in qualifying).

you could also argue about all the decisions against ham in that season, but lets not start this again.

Massa had two retirements in 2008 and they were both his own fault, not mechanical failures.

You forgot to add..

Nearly all Lewis pit stops have been fluffed..

drunkenmaster · 26 Jul 2014 at 14:08

lol, Massa, so slow.

Hamilton's best chance is Massa being on the front two rows... puts Rosberg in danger or not finishing

I meant, mid pack at the start you'd have a higher chance of a crash.

utajoker · 26 Jul 2014 at 14:08

calm down crofty, the car is easily fast enough for pole.

Pigeon_Killer · 26 Jul 2014 at 14:09

Great qualifying and Hamilton at the back should mean another exciting race.

Don't be silly. Hamilton is the best, don't you know?

Great effort from Vettel and Bottas there.
