2015 Chinese Grand Prix - Shanghai, April 10-12

I don't, Britney has proven he can't race hard unless he's being coached so imo he will flattened by Hamilton this year.

It's going to be a damp Friday, cold cloudy but dry Saturday, and a cool but sunny Sunday. Rosberg is better than Hamilton around here, if he qualifies in front of him he can probably hold him off. Dark horse for this race will be Raikkonen, his softs will last forever, and I think he's a bit faster than Vettel.

That was before the driver coaching ban, we'll see how good he really is this weekend.

He seems like he can be faster than Vettel, all things going well with his setup. So far he has shown very interesting pace at some instances.
Like when? I'm honestly curious, because the number don't add up, and FPs are not something to rely on. Just ask hamilton.
Joking?

Have you seen the races. At least he is a match.

Going by what data? 2013 and 2014 saw Lewis out qualify and outrace Rosberg in China

Plus Lewis has more wins here than any other driver on the grid. I think it's fair to say he's quick enough around China to win...

I've seen a few people saying it. I think people think it just because Nico won here in 2012 in a car which we were not expecting to be competitive. The reason Nico won then was due to the DRS system on the Merc. He didn't have a strong challenge from his team mate all weekend.

You just said "seemed like he could be faster" and I asked you to provide data on how you got that conclusion. Nothing so far indicated RAI is indeed faster. That's not to say he's not, because he's had a lot of bad luck and can not be objectively measured yet, but equally there's nothing to say that he is.
People will point to melbourne and his 2nd stint, but anyone can be fast on new option tire on a compromised strategy. In malaysia in his 3rd stint he had 3 laps older hard tires than Vetttel, but was considerably slower. He had aero damage due to tire puncture, so we're back to square one. You can't say either way who's faster.

Eh? Rosberg has never beaten Hamilton around this track.

In terms of Lewis vs Nico - I'm not going to accept that as an argument, because we only saw them competing in equal machinery over 2013 and 2014. But yes, Lewis in general is good in China

You can talk what you want, at the moment LH is outperforming Nico again. High time for Nico to do something special or it will be too late.

I expect Mercedes will be strong here, but Ferrari won't be far away.

Fwiw Britney is his paddock nickname given to him by Mark Webber while both were at Williams.
