Head To Head Nico Rosberg vs Lewis Hamilton

[LifeW12]

Hamilton was the leader at the time

Rosberg buckled under the pressure at Monza as well.

 

[cider_and_toast]

Rosbergs post Spa performances last year were clouded by his coming together with Hamilton and high profile telling off afterwards. Granted he hasn't had that this year but does anyone see Rosberg coming back into contention for the title barring mechanical issues?

... not me ... said the blind man blowing bubble gum ...

just out of interest has Hamilton ever overtaken Rosberg whilst they've been team mates? (not on the 1st lap and not when one of them has gone off).

Bahrain 2014?

Did not Lewis and Nico overtake each other once or twice in a win deciding dust up?

Hamilton was the leader at the time

In Bahrain 2014 Nico overtook Lewis on lap nineteen into turn one and Lewis retook Nico through turns 5, 6 and 7.

I didn't add that one because I wasn't quite sure what I was looking at with the OTDB. Thanks for that Fenderman snowy

Assuming I've done the maths in my head correctly, if Hamilton and Rosberg finish 1-2 for the rest of the season Hamilton needs 3 wins from the remaining 8 races to win the title. Alternatively, Rosberg needs to win 6 out of the remaining 8.

I'll look into adding a complete breakdown of a driver's overtakes on their page.

So on this page for example, there will be a new table with the details of each overtake from each GP: http://cliptheapex.com/overtaking/drivers/lewis-hamilton.798/

That should then make it possible to filter on the various columns such as overtaken driver, position, etc.

As a spam prevention measure you require me to spam the forum...

 

[Brogan]

There's a difference between spamming and contributing.

It's nothing to do with spam prevention, it's to do with only allowing those who contribute to the forum on an ongoing basis, access to the data.

I suppose I could put it completely behind a paywall...

My predicament... or should that be "postdicament" is that everything I feel like writing makes me sound like a Lewis Hamilton "fanboy".
99% of what is in my F1 brain is inflammatory, provocative and condescending about the other drivers. My mum told me that if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it.

 

[RasputinLives]

snowy whilst I'm aware you're a Hamilton fan you've always come across as having a balanced view on things. And I always look to you to supply the times during testing

 

[Titch]

Anyway you post quite a bit.

I see Rosberg's challenge faltering because he will be distracted by becoming a father and suffer a period of baby blues

I remember even Michael Schumacher's form dipped in 1999 when Mick was born before he had the crash and broke his leg

its unfair but surely Nico's priorities will change

 

[Titch]

I disagree with that.

 

[RasputinLives]

I second the disagreement.

The thing is about drivers in that they are individuals and you never know how an individual is going to react to a life changing situation. People try to quote that stat all the time and in the case of Mikka Hakkenien it was probably true. Michael Schumacher is a hard one to pin it on though as he won 5 of his tiles after the birth of his son and compeated for a other 10 seasons afterwards.

 

[Brogan]

I see Rosberg's challenge faltering because he's not good enough.

 

[Mezzer]

I think that's a harsh way of putting it, a fairer way might be that Rosberg is very good but Hamilton is just that all-important bit better.
