    Ive sort of lost interest a bit this year, but as much as i am not a fan as such of Hamilton, he is definitely very good, and it would seem, that wee bit better than Rosberg.

    Verstappen is great to watch though....its that fearlessness of youth that made me love watching Hamilton and Vettel and Kimi in their early days.

    Same, I've lost interest in it a bit because McLaren are * right now.

    Not a Hamilton fan either but he's a far better driver than Rosberg. I don't rate Rosberg at all, he's an average driver in a very fast car and if it wasn't for Hamilton's early season technical problems with his car Rosberg wouldn't be leading the championship. Hamilton has made a few mistakes in the past but usually down to the fact he pushes the car so hard, Rosberg is prone to errors, especially when he's under pressure, I think Mercedes could do far better than him but I can't see them replacing him as they'll want a German driver in a German car.

    Verstappen is good, still a lot to learn but he'll just get better and better.

    Should be a good start.Hamilton racing through from 10th,think I'll put some money on a safety car in first lap.

    I'd put some money that Hamilton will be the reason for the safety car on the first lap. :smiley-laughing002:

    Baku looks a lovely place. Eddie Jordan says the place has blown him away.

    Good to watch the on-board cameras if you got SKY.

    Rosberg under investigation by stewards for causing the final lap crash with Hamilton and also for not pulling off the track with a damaged car

    100% Rosbergs fault,must have been frustrating as * for him knowing Hamilton was going to overtake with fresher tyres on last lap.

    In some respects I like Hamilton as he's a racer. He wants to win and will go wheel to wheel and excite viewers.

    He's just a little rat bag though.

    There is no way him and Rosberg can go on together. Their relationship is toxic.

    Nico is the favoured member of Mercedes team Lewis will probably head to Ferrari and they'll replace him with Vettel

    It's pretty clear Rosberg is their first choice, although he's not that good. Hamilton is a better driver than Rosberg.

    I fear Hamilton is burning too many bridges at the moment with his conduct. Nobody like an internal * stirrer and he's pushing the buttons at the moment.

    Vettel would wipe the floor with Rosberg without getting drawn into the bitter battle.

    Comfortable win for Hamilton, Rosberg only finishing 4th.

    Hockenheim is rubbish now that Tilke has butchered it, used to be great.

    I think Mercedes will move Rosberg on myself, and bend over backwards to keep Hamilton happy.
