Head To Head Nico Rosberg vs Lewis Hamilton

[Bushi]

Every session he has been outpaced. Reliability or no reliability. Ricciardo has a better handle on the car at the moment. Hamilton has been generally quicker than Rosberg.

Vettel had software/mechanical problems in P1, in P2 he set a better time and from Saturday on he had software related problems. So how can you say than that Ricciardo has a better handle of the car?

 

[Chad Stewarthill]

I still can't help thinking of Rosberg as a Finn.
Which reminds me of that old adage; "to finish first, first you must be Finnish".

 

[Bushi]

..... "You need a Finn to win" or "If you want to win, hire a Finn".

 

[Lewywo4]

I can't imagine Lewis becoming so dispirited, and giving up his pursuit of the championship, because of a problematic result at Malaysia.

 

[Bushi]

With Merc. so far ahead of the rest of the field I don't think he would gave up his championship pursuit because of another mechanical failure.
What happened to Lewis can as easily happen to Rosberg.

 

[Titch]

Rosberg has dual nationality, he can choose to be either Finnish or German, or both. Or just a racing driver.

 

[RasputinLives]

Despite the fact he's lived in Monaco most of his life.

 

[Titch]

Like I said .. he can just choose to be a racing driver .. don't they all live in Monaco?

 

[RasputinLives]

He also talks with an american twang to his accent. Where did that come from?

 

[GeoffP]

America?

 

[RasputinLives]

Ask a silly question.....

Has he ever lived in America?

I know a lot of Germans who have Amercanised accents because they are taught English by Americans and much of the TV they see is from the US.

 

[Bushi]

Neither did I, and when I speak English it sounds more American than British.
Think it's from movies and games.

I heard once that if you wanna speak British you gotta talk like you have a hot potato in your mouth.

 

[FB]

Apropos nothing at all Peter Schmeichel has a Manchster accent and Jan Molby a Scouse one - both Danes.

 

[Bushi]

Can speak British aswell, but than it's a mixture of all kinds of accents and probably a bit of Scottish in there aswell.
Guess it depends on what you heard most when you where a child.

 

[Hamberg]

Maybe he's spent too much time with his homie Lewis.

 

[teabagyokel]

FB - Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's Manciwegian accent is fast becoming a highlight of Match of the Day.

I suppose, in Monaco, there's more TV than actual Englishmen, although I would have preferred him to sound somewhat like Keke's peers; maybe Mansell

 

[FB]

Just what we need teabagyokel, another whinging Brummie.

 

[GeoffP]

Shocker of a race today, but I stand by my opinion, Nico is definitely more German

 

[P1]

Well after this race I think Lewis has nothing to worry about if he keeps bringing his A game.
