Hungary?
All Rosberg has done all season is 'yap.'
He has again said he will be on 'maximum attack' and what not and I will pretty much be shocked if he can beat Vettel around this track. Hamilton is another matter.
Yes, Hungary. Mercedes puts the right tyres (which wasn't even a choice) he finishes second or wins it (all other things equal) that's not up to discussion within reasonable "what could have happened" alternative realities. The fact that Merc lost him 36-50 points in Monza and Hungary is not up to discussion either.
"All Rosberg has done all season is 'yap.' This statement is completely wrong and should be put in "driver hatred" (or whatever it's called) category. I won't bother correcting a post with zero substance so general statement: Bahrain, Barcelona, GB, Hungary, Austria, Canada for something opposite and remaining races for not being far behind. He did well except for qualifying but '14 showed that you can be a world champion after getting significantly outpaced in qualifying and when you must count on other driver's mistakes.

Not like Rosberg cost himself those points in Hungary with another clumbsy manoeuvre, is it? Clearly the 28 point gap Lewis had on Nico before the Monza mistake is to be ignored. Also completely ignored the fact Nico gained points on Lewis in Monaco due to a team mistake, which evens out this points swing.
No, it only shows it has no value and is decided with no objective criteria by like minded spammers, ignorant people, team and driver fanatics that think that mindless pushing a button changes reality. The fact that you used in an argument instead of facts says it all. Now back to reality: +18 or +25 in Hungary (high chance of that in a situation when Mercedes puts the right tyres and I'm not even discussing lack of guilt in Ricciardo collision) and let's say two engine failures in Monza for Hamilton (random event) and perhaps you should start counting points instead of reputation
.
"Also completely ignored the fact Nico gained points on Lewis in Monaco due to a team mistake, which evens out this points swing." Lies added to insults, there goes your reputation
. I didn't ignore it, it wasn't a subject of a post. I'm aware of it, I'm also aware of bad pitstop in GP, tyre strategy in Malaysia, brake problems in Canada and Bahrain and reverse to Bahrain Ferrari strength in Barcelona that pretty much equalised Monaco. Now back to three major failures in two races, or not, nothing to add so to make it on topic Singapore will be boring and if Red Bull's chassis is so good and Ferrari's not so good (as some claim) they should be very close.
