come on manx we are all allowed our opinion on here mate ,
----------- the fact of the matter is rosberg never once allowed lewis the chance to try a pass on him throut the race which tells me he was controlling the race at the pace he wanted and maybe had a little in reserve if he needed it -

this is no detriment to hamilton , just my opinion that rosberg on the day had his measure --

dear dear me --- you really do get yourself in a little tizzy when anybody has a different opinion than you on here
------------ lets also not forget i have been nothing but polite and civil to you whilst having a different opinion

Awww poor u

Being faster doesn't mean being able to get past. However without his half spin, Hamilton would have been ahead after his ensuing pitstop. The speed advantage he obviously had, I believe he would have pulled away from Rosberg to build a large enough gap to properly manage his lead. Unlike what actually happened, where Rosberg barely managed to keep Hamilton out of DRS range. I'm not saying Rosberg didn't do a good job, just that he wasn't as quick as Hamilton in the race.

Gc, he widnt necessarily pf been ahead. However my argument is against the pathetically stupid opinion that rosberg was in control of the pace and gap to lewis.

Not disagreeing with you BWFCCLEGG.

not that it matters but i have my doubts whether hamilton would have jumped rosberg at the pit stop ,

i personally dont think hamilton had a speed advantage over rosberg as rosberg in my opinion was driving a tactical race and just dictating the pace he wanted to race at -

what has convinced me is if you really watch each of the 71 laps carefully not once was hamilton ever in a position or was allowed to be in a position to try a passing maneuver on rosberg and rosberg cleverly slipped in the occasional fastest lap as and when he needed to -

to my way of thinking GC had hamilton been quicker he would have tried at least one pass if not more especially in the last 20 laps when the gap was 1- 2 secs or at the very least put himself in a position to try a pass , throw rosberg a few dummies but he never did --

That's your opinion MA, mine is that Hamilton was faster.

And that link just states Rosberg's own opinion. Well he would say that wouldn't he. Definitely getting to be smug....

fair play to your opinion GC , like mine it has some merit

Always refreshing to see different opinions. The facts however are in black and white and without the spin Hamilton would have been ahead of Rosberg and beaten him.

This was clearly displayed in a race sim on SKY.

Hamilton made a mistake when he spun, but what we forget is that Rosberg was going for it on his tyres and it's unknown what his lap time would be as he was told about the spin early on in the lap.

In the race, Hamilton had no opportunity to overtake Rosberg, despite gaining time. Rosberg just drove a little more cautiously than Hamilton and took things steady. It's clear from the qualifying and practice sessions that he had a better single-lap pace.

Perfectlt legitimate opinion. However the point im arguing was that rosberg was in control. Which is madness

i actually think rosberg drove a clever race to control lewis , controlling the gap so lewis could not try a pass and looking after his tyres at the same time -

i suspect he could have extended the gap had he wished but did the clever thing in just controlling the gap and throwing in the occasional fastest lap to prevent lewis ever being in a passing position -

Question to all.
IF Hamilton hadn't spun and had taken the lead, does anyone think Rosberg would have been able to keep in touch with Hamilton and passed him.
Conjecture I know but your opinions.

No chance, Hamilton had the faster package

MUDD

Mercedes-Benz didn't spin the car, Hamilton did. Had he gone .2 of a second slower round that corner he would have gained 6.8 seconds and still won the race.
In my book that tells me HAMILTON is at fault. I am a big fan of his and he has driven well most of the year and deserves to be World Champion, certainly more than Rosberg. Monte Carlo and Canada prove that. But Mercedes-Benz apologising to a driver for HIS spin is sycophancy gone too far.
Every driver must take responsibility for the car.

Pob - exactly right, hamilton did admit fault immediately. Martial seems to believe nico was controlling the race n could have gone quicker and won the race regardless (despite providing zero evidence apart from an article quoting nico rosberg - superb evidence u will agree)
