I'm not fanboying at all, i'm stating the facts as i see them. If Lewis has no dnf's he would be leading even if he finished 2nd in both cases.Mandrake wrote:Well you are fanboying. Both drivers drive very well with little between them. Now claiming after Canada that Lewis is the best driver and will not win WDC is just premature and incorrect. Both in Bahrain and Spain Rosberg was the faster guy, but Hamilton got the win. So by your logic you should be worried that in the end it might be Rosberg who is best but not WDC...astracrazy wrote:I'm just concerned the best driver isn't going to win the WDC. Nico has had 43 free points this year from Lewis's DNF's - yet the gap is only 22 points. That shows the best driver isn't leading the championship.
I'm not fanboying Lewis, but theres no doubt who should be leading this fight by a margin. It's also clear to see and work out that even 1 DNF for Nico will be a big disadvantage for him (based on this season so far) so things could easily turn around very quickly - even at the next race
Nico was faster because he was on the faster tyres, if i remember, but still couldn't overtake....
What dirty driving and blocking? Bahrain? It was good hard racing which we all like to say. Same as turn 1 yesterday - good hard racing. But so far, i've only seen Rosbergs antics questioned and put in front the stewards so by that what he is doing is more borderline than Lewis.Vettel Maggot wrote:Good post Mandrake. People are forgetting Lewis' dirty driving and blocking earlier in the year and think he is entitled to the WDC. He is getting outsmarted and outdriven by Nico at the moment, it makes it a lot spicier.
But i agree with you that in some cases he is out smarting Lewis. Sometimes I believe it is because he is able to see what Lewis is doing and apply it. Whilst Lewis in that sense has that natural ability, Nico can apply what he is seeing which is still worth noting. Other team mates have been in the same situation before and not been able to do it
I for one am not saying lewis is entitled to the title, i'm simply stating that he has had bad luck which is stopping him from leading at this present time.
