If I see it correctly, except for Malaysia (DNF and crash) and Spain (both crashing stupidly) the Merc car won every race this season. For me it is a bit strange to discuss driver dominance with this stats...ringo wrote: Hamilton unreliable 2016 season was more dominant than Nico's best ever.

I wish Hamilton had done this. All the a$$holes here would then at least have a valid reason to bring their puke to the forum.Restomaniac wrote: IMHO Senna would have brake tested Rosberg in a 'hit me or stop on track' move and dealt with the consequences later.
I don't think people are getting it. When two drivers from different teams compete, with two vastly different cars, built with varying strengths and weaknesses and when failures occur, those are not comparable to what we have seen this year. Two different teams push the development in variety of different directions and their performance would be coming at the cost of some sort of risk and compromise, which might result in mechanical failure. In this case, a car might be slightly slower (like that of Ferrari in Alonso's time), but has great reliability record. Whereas a car might be very fast (like that of Vettel's RBs), but very fragile.tomazy wrote:I don't know if this had been thrown in here jet or not, but if Rosberg is not a deserving WDC in 2016 becouse he had less DNFs (1 to 2,) and less wins than Hamilton (9 to 10), does this mean that Hamilton is not a deserving WDC in 2008 becouse he had less DNFs (1 to 3) and less wins than Massa (5 to 6)?

The case with Mercedes is, the same car built with same DNA, produces a host of reliability issues on one car and is bullet proof on the other and that is what becomes differentiating factor between team mates winning or losing the championship. Here the reliability issues becomes prime parameter.
And the only reason Nico won, was because Lewis suffered, a lot more unreliability. Would you like to go another round, because I can do this all day?SR71 wrote: Hamilton lost because he left points on the table.
I bet you can. Would be great if Ham would have the stamina of his fans.dans79 wrote: I can do this all day?

At this point I would say the average post in this thread is more about the fanbase of the other driver, than the actual drivers.basti313 wrote:I bet you can. Would be great if Ham would have the stamina of his fans.dans79 wrote: I can do this all day?
Where exactly? Maybe Singapore and Baku was where he left points on the table...still Singapore problems in practise 2, Baku problems with engine setting in the race!! Rosberg left way more points on the table because of his own inability to drive in the wet...Monaco is a great example where he even lost a place on the last corner of the last lap! And i am really surprised how he didn't get lost again in Brazil...he was a bit lucky again with all the stupid things Red Bull was trying! Austria is another great example of Nicola losing points because of his own inability...had he left space for his teammate (as in Spain) he would have at least finished 2nd if not 1st!SR71 wrote:GPR-A wrote:I don't think people are getting it.
