bonsoir buds
would be interested to hear your opinion on nico rosberg somebody who previously i never believed to be from the top drawer , however i am slowly starting to have thoughts that my scepticism about nico may have been misplaced ,
there is little doubt that in there 3 years together he gave the mk 2 version of " the great " schumacher more trouble than any of his lackey team mates in his first career were ever allowed to give him - in fact he gave micheal more than a little trouble he was very often quicker and better than micheal -
however it does not end there , it would seem nico is now starting to get the better of hamilton very much in the same fashion he did with micheal , there is no doubt that nico is smarter than hamilton behind the wheel but surprisingly it would seem that nico is also quicker than lewis ,
however no way i am naive enough to write hamilton off just yet in the inter team dual , as we all know that lewis is a very good driver with a quick turn of speed when the mood takes him ,
for me the change i can see in nico is an increase in aggression this season combined with his obvious intelligence behind the wheel has seemed to change him into what could be a title contender ,
i dont believe for one second he is in the same calibre as alonso and vettel on any level just yet nor is he ever likely to be but it would not surprise me if his new found aggression this season has morphed him into a worthy title contender --
---------- does anybody sing from the same hymn sheet as myself ?
nico rosberg -- becoming the real deal ?

How many times have you taken a 1kg chunk of metal to the face at 160mph Martial? It is a miracle the lad is still alive, and no I don't believe Massa is as good as he was when it happened.

Thats some serious stiff upper lip work. Tis but a scratch in the world of Monty Python
A fractured skull resulting in emergency surgery and a titanium plate being inserted into his skull is certainly worthy of a plaster!

I know there are other factors to take into account, but in his pre injury Ferrari years he finished 3rd,4th,2nd. Since the injury he's come 6th, 6th and 7th. With the exception of a few races at the end of last season, he hasn't seemed the same driver to me. I certainly don't think he's worth a drive in one of the top teams on current form.

geezer
i have always had a simple theory about massa that might be right or wrong , during 07 and 08 when he had a good chassis he drove well, after those yrs his chassis"s were not so good and he has never been that good save for the odd occasion again ,
on occasion he can out qual alonso so his basic speed is still there , he is unlucky that he is in a team with probably the best driver of the last 19 years so more often than not he is outclassed but in reality i dont think massa is that bad --
