    Seriously, Nico has always been very fast and he had twice as much mileage in winter testing as Lewis. Not completely unexpected he would match him. Especially as once again Lewis was the one losing more points due to bad luck so far.

    Anyone who thought Lewis would walk over Nico before 2013 clearly hasn't watched this german, errrm, finnish, errrm monaco-guy race in the last couple of years.
    Sorry but I just had to look this up. I know you probably just said it as a generalised comment that he did more testing, but the last time I checked 2159km doubled wasn't 2813km :P
    You're right, I was wrong about that.

    In terms of Laps it's 362 for Rosberg and 262 for Hamilton though, and that's a fact. 100 Laps (or nearly 700 km) more is a considerable advantage nevertheless. And then barely finishing 5 laps in the season opener doesn't make it easier either. That's an advantage of almost 3 race distances for Nico before the Malaysian GP.

    EDIT: The # of laps was after the 1st Bahrain test. Might aswell look up the stats for the 2nd one, but I think Nico had more mileage around there aswell, which would fit in nicely with the ~700 km.

    Rosberg, i can't stand Hamilton as a person. #SWEG

    Also, i don't think anybody expected Rosberg to be as competitive as he has been in comparison to Hamilton. I think in the Sky F1 show poll at the very start of the season 8% expected Rosberg to win the title, whilst Hamilton was at 40%+.

  3. Even the tyre was faster than Chilton.

    Ok, I just had to say it.

    Full onboard of the race. I've linked it to start at the Vettel-Alonso fight (53:47 if it doesn't work properly).
