Head To Head Nico Rosberg vs Lewis Hamilton

To be honest I think the number of comments increases on a Hamilton situation because you have a split between the amount of people who say he is right and who say he is wrong which results in a 'heated debate'.
I think you have extremes on both sides.
Personally I don't think Hamilton is 'wrong' in anyway here. I would like to see him just tell the guys he's coming in (and the main discussion this morning has been around someone saying that can't be done) but understand why he didn't.
I'll go back to my comment 3 pages ago where I said I don't believe Hamilton would ne like that in the radio unless he has a reason to be which makes me wonder what is amiss at Merc. That got dismissed as 'wild theories' at the time.

I do. The decision he did make (at the time). Monaco qualifying is unlikely going to be regular occurrence. As he is up 5-1 on qualifying and 4-2 race wins he has to assume that trend will continue in which case suck this up as a race he wasn't going to win in the season (because he won't win all of them). So he keeps the team on side and in reality hasn't particularly lost out.
To be honest though I know what Brogan is saying. It does appear that whatever he or Sebastian Vettel do they are in the wrong with someone.
I think it possibley comes from the fact they both burst on to the scene so quickly and seemed to beat everyone so easily. I think it gets peoples backs up and they really want to see them fail to the point they don't see the facts straight.
Equally though they both have fans who are adament that everything they do is right though which of course creates a lot of traffic on F1 forums.

Jen if he refused to reply the speculation would be rife and as Brogan and Rasputin have said, he'd still be wrong. I think another issue is that we can't put the tone around the interview.

And who else RasputinLives? Alonso, Kimi, Jenson, etc. - it would seem the only one we all agree on is Pastor!
Nothing to do with 'bursting on the scene' though; nor personal perceptions. if one is into racing, one applauds anyone who can race - simple as that.
And I'm sure most here know fact from fiction, even if they have preferences.

For all his strengths, I think he lacks the pedigree for discretion. Like he said, he's just a guy from a hole in Stevenage. One can only expect so much.
I don't think you would see this behavior from Button. But then Button isn't much of a winner, so Mercedes have the right guy.

The question was never whether it could be done or not. It was whether it would've given him enough to jump ahead of Rosberg in view of the inherent risks not to mention the inevitable fallout. The subtlety was missed amidst the back and forth. @the Artist agreed Hamilton's naivety in front of the press can sometimes be his undoing.
Rasputin I don't want to re-ignite this on your interpretation and ruin the enjoyment for every one. You can PM if you want and we can carry on there.
Josh, I saw a fuel comparison at one point which showed that Hamilton had consumed about 39% of his fuel while Rosberg had consumed about 41-42%. You would have thought that they would have put another comparison graphic up while the messages about fuel saving were going on, but I don't remember seeing one at that stage of the race (although I may have just missed it).
It continues.

The quote in there that stands out is "I wish I could show you the data. I saw something in it last night and all I could do was smile...."

Maybe, but in this case it's kinda amusing that people would like to see him going in the pits and getting the undercut.
Imagine the meltdown on the forum if Rosberg had decided to try to undercut Hamilton in the pits in Spain.
Well it is interesting to know that it was in fact Rosberg who drew the first blow by using an unauthorised engine mode in Bahrain, Hamilton then did the same in Spain and it has culminated with what happend in Monaco. Fair play to Hamilton for feeling aggrieved.
