2014 Italian GP - Monza, September 5-7

I wonder what 'luck' he was refering to. Maybe that Lewis was stuck behind a McLaren and a Williams and despite that, managed to get past them and him for the win? I have to admit - when watching the race and that bad start, I really didn't think there was any way he could challenge for the win. I think at some point, Rosberg had quite a lead and I didn't see how he could find a way past Magnusen and Massa. The pass he did on the outside was quite something though and rather crucial for his race.

Also; who exactly is Evan Short at Mercedes? Is he someone who is on Nico's side of the garage?

Brilliant Role model there... .Wonder if Italian tv follow them in there like the British do. And he says Hamilton was lucky, after his start? What a twit! imagine if he had said that in English there would have been up roar.

Wow, is that really the translation? That's a bit of low character tbh. That's almost talking behind Lewis' back, knowing that Lewis doesn't speak or understand Italian. There's no such thing as being lucky to win the race, certainly when Lewis had a bad start and had to catch up.

woah, well at least the true Nico comes out for every day that goes in this season.
Interesting comment by Massa there at the end as well.

The Smooth Rosberg strikes again! Talking behind your back while in front of you!

Had the situation been reversed, you would both be calling Rosberg lucky.

I've been truly blown away at how the fanboys have responded to Lewis being in a dominant car yet never leading the points. They never even considered the possibility of Rosberg being ahead and now they seemingly can't cope with it.

Wow, that's fanboy bait if ever I saw it

I don't suppose you've remembered who started the season effectively 25 points down and has lost points 3-1 in DNFs?

The season has been skewed from the first race by "luck".

Monza was an example of two drivers having the same car and one getting soundly beaten by the other even after the former had technical issues at the start.

What the hell does that have too do with Rosberg being a sore loser and a future porn star? ( I nicked that joke off someone else but it was just so good!)

Was he not leading after the Spanish Grand Prix?

Lol you guys know that those Italian expressions used by Rosberg lose a lot in translation to English, right? Do none of you speak second languages?

Agree, i'm italian and the translation is totally different form the truce meaning Of the sentence, and it's quite impossible to translate that properly....

A lot of the issue for many people is why would a German speak to a Brazilian & Briton in Italian despite a second Brit being in the room and not speaking the language?

[Phil]

I know why i would..... Re-enforce your position in the team and exclude your rival, even if just psychologically. I guess it's a relative harmless way to do ir, but it would be quite effective i would think...

M
Maybe, but id say that's beside the point.

It was true that no one expected Nico to stand up to Lewis in the championship race at the beginning of the year. But that aside, your analysis seems to be too short sighted to say Lewis is not leading in a dominant car. There have been pages written about Lewis' situation and I am not arguing on that.

For me the problem is, that we always end up in the discussion about which of the two luckiest drivers in this F1 season is more lucky...this will never lead to anything.

Keep it up Pierce, soon you reach Iotar levels of trolling.

As an aside, the troll is often the first person to start tossing the term around.

The argument has been a heated one between few members of the forum here and you take stand on one side or the other, be prepared to take it on the chin.

I just wonder why. There are two things I can not understand: The one thing is the Alonso/Hamilton crowd.Those who destroyed each others WC chance in 2007...why the same crowd? Or is it just the Anti-German-Driver crowd what makes the same people switch from Hakkinen to Alonso to Hamilton year by year?
The other thing is that this crowd is accusing each other for trolling if one is not glorifying...is it not enough to call everyone a hater who does not agree in "bad luck" if Alonso or Hamilton are not winning?
