Yeah, I wasted 20eur at the beginning of season betting on Rosberg for championship
Think Mercedes comeback after 50 years or so, with two good drivers, they would invest and deliver but no go.

Their biggest problem is still tyres, can't make max 10 laps decent speed!

They have 3 main technical engineers + Brawn =

Mercedes have:

Loic Bigois: Aerodynamics.

Bob Bell: Technical Director.

Aldo Costa: Engineering Director.

Geoff Willis: Technology Director.

They have some of the best people working for them.

Lewis and his engineers decided not to use the new wing. Not a case of different equipment for the drivers.

Reminds me a little of Italy 2010, Button had a barndoor on the back of his car but it worked well for him and Lewis wasn't too happy about going with a more convnentional set-up.

I didn't see Button throwing his toys out of the pram when his car was going nowhere for the last few races. Lewis annoys me when he acts like a kid like this.

Webber showed the real way to react to this. Wasn't it the race where his prototype wing was taken off him in favour of Vettel, & Webber went out and won the race. Fantasticly cool thing to do, & left them to ponder the words "Not bad for a Number 2 driver"

Like Piquet Jr and Massa, Hamilton has had everything laid out for him in the past by daddy. So he is used to getting his own way. When this does not happen the reactions are childish and funny

Just look at how the Grosjean's Lotus launched over the back of Perez's Sauber :eek:

Looking at that, how long until F1 mandates "carbashians" like the DW12 IndyCar?
