Rosberg is carrying an expectation Schumacher used to carry, a German winning in a German car.

Well he has done it before.

Brilliant. Thanks Meggsy.

It actually makes sense.

Even Alan Jones didn't know this.

Latest is they have changed parts and now start from pit lane which is even worse, particularly at this track with the underground tunnel

To add insult to injury RIC and VET are starting from pit lane. From what I can gather because they changed their front wings and noses in order to comply (they were deemed illegal after all) they now have to start from the pit!

The " German" Mercedes car is designed and made in Banbury, UK, and the Mercedes engine is designed and built in Northampton, UK.
Nico Rosberg raced under the Finnish flag earlier in his career. His father is Finnish, and his mother is German.

Brackley, not Banbury... close but no cigar! ;-)

A frustrating race for ROS.

Congratulations to RIC for his 4th in the race and 3rd in the championship.

For me, Ricciardo dominating Vettel was the highlight of the season... 3 wins to none, total of 8 podiums to 4, and 71 points more (and not forgetting the disqualified 2nd place at Albert Park) is one hell of a performance against a 4 times world champ who this time last year was fêted (not be me!) as the best thing since sliced bread...

Vettel's star has faded massively, he had to leave Red Bull this year as another year being comprehensively outperformed would have left him with few bargaining chips. It will be close between him and Raikonnen in 2015, I'm sure the gap between the Ferrari's won't be as big as it has been this year.

And finally, it would be a bloody travesty if Jenson isn't retained by McLaren next year....

Is that why he didn't win ? :mrgreen:

Sorry about that Buzzard - I didn't realise that the 2015 thread had already opened, my apologies.

No problems at all, happy that somebody is keeping us up to speed with what is going on in F1
