Oh go on then

But play nice.

Is this a scene from Gladiator?

I'll admit that this is a match up I have actually been looking forward to.

Rosberg s a highly rated driver, but has had limited exposure to a really challenging team mate in f1, so there has not been any real gauge of what he is capable of.

Also, it would be interesting to see what lewis can do with the Mercedes car, and how things develop over the seasons.

All in all it is quite a mouth watering prospect!!

I think Rosberg will most definitely be the number two driver next year.
How can you let a seven time WC go and not tell the incoming driver he won't have no1 status?

This has the potential to end in tears but for which one?

But quite looking forward to this now, having got over the initial shock of the announcement .

 

[Irishgreen]

It's only going to end one way, Hamilton is too quick for Rosberg.

 

[MCLS]

I remember similar things being said when Button joined McLaren that Hamilton will be too fast for him, he'll be the number one etc etc and look how that worked out

 

[Vortex]

...or Ross Brawn favours Rosberg

Mercedes have already confirmed that both drivers have equal status.

Hamilton is/was too fast for JB.

Mercedes have already confirmed that both drivers have equal status.

And I can confirm that I will be sober tomorrow night

 

[Brogan]

And the rumours have started already and it's not even the second day...sigh.

Brogan
All we have are opinions. IMHO Mercedes have lured Hamilton with "the team will be built around you" only my opinion buts all I have.

 

[Brogan]

So they were lying to the world then when they said both drivers are equal?

Not to mention breaching Rosberg's contract which states, I am led to believe, that he won't be number 2 driver.

Yes.

Oh cock, think I'll lock this thread again.

 

[Jen]

Good move FB

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

It doesn't say in any shape or form that Mercedes will give Lewis number 1 status. None of the articles I've read say that and it's just your opinion Irishgreen.

 

[Irishgreen]

I believe Hamilton has seen it from Alonso/Prost/Schumacher's point of view, you need the whole team including your co driver behind you.
I may be wrong but don't shoot me for having an opinion.
