The questions is, if he abandoned the lap, what was he doing in the racing line, while there are cars doing quali laps?Jonnycraig wrote:Looked more like he was going to try and squeeze two fliers out as the track dried, but the tyres would've lost too much heat by then.SectorOne wrote:Rosberg tried to be smart and back off to watch Hamilton in the wet.
James Allison says Ferrari can't race Merc in dry conditions.
I think he tried to be the last one to do a lap for once, he lost on track position a number of times last year, still didn't help much.SectorOne wrote:Rosberg tried to be smart and back off to watch Hamilton in the wet.
The race is tomorrow. If you could remember, it was a similar quali result last year too in the wet.Jonnycraig wrote:Also good to see the myth of the Merc super chassis blown apart in only the second race.

He wasn't on the racing line.SectorOne wrote:Rosberg slowing down on the racing line was a smart move as well, particularly when his teammate was purple in the first sector.
Except the fact that Hamilton's pole time came at a time when conditions were much worse, I think Rosberg had a scruffy one. Mercedes has the best chassis.Jonnycraig wrote:Also good to see the myth of the Merc super chassis blown apart in only the second race.
