Rosberg wasn't complaining about losing. His argument was that Hamilton made it more difficult for him to retain second place.

OK I'll word it better then, Roger, Nico was crying like a little fanny because he lost. He couldn't contain his frustration so used whatever bullshit he could lay his hands on just to have a pop at Lewis.
His argument doesn't make sense so although he never actually said "I'm crying because I'm a loser" I think we can all read straight through his tantrum talk.

So in my mind it was an excuse, because he's trying to imply that the turbulent air was so severe that he could never have challenged Lewis and needed to maintain the two second gap. So basically, he just wants us all to believe that the gap between him and Lewis was deliberate
So if that's the case, how would Sebastian have caught him facing the same turbulent air?

Now, remind me, who was it who said last week that he would not be working with Lewis to stay ahead of Ferrari?

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Right in the face :

If Nico can't accept Hamilton was the better driver or drove a tactically smart race then he should quit F1. I know Nico is a brilliant driver too, but he just pisses me off with his sulking!!

I have sympathy with Nico(Rosberg) After the incident last year with Lewis Hamilton where Mercedes vilified Rosberg afterwards, it become clear to Nico that in any future incident the team would blame him and you saw how careful Nico became in any battle with Lewis which ruined for me the rest of the Championship last year. Nico for me is still mentally walking on eggshells around Lewis fearfully of what will happen if there is another incident

McLaren-Honda's racing director Eric Boullier has released a statement in relation to moving things forward.......


"Now we can power up a little bit and we know the potential," he said. "There's a lot of potential coming from this point.

"We have some new specs coming from Europe. In terms of chassis as well, we'll keep bringing parts in Bahrain.

"We have a good package coming in Barcelona so we're ramping up. I think it's as we said - it's not tenths by tenths but half a second by half a second.

"So as Fernando said, we started from too far behind but we are catching up. Now we are just behind the midfield pack so hopefully in a few races we will be in front."


Sounds interesting to me, and hopefully they can begin to start showing us a little something closer to what many of us might expect from them.

There was a glimpse of the McLaren's potential in the practice sessions in Shanghai. Button also outdragged Maldonado's Lotus down the straight a few corners before his little error

It could be interesting when Honda let them wind the power up.

1st practice is underway in the Spanish gp and im really liking the new McLaren livery that they are now running which is mainly black

A Rosberg pole lead to a Rosberg win.
It could be close this year
