Lauda: "Alarm bells are ringing at Mercedes"

But Hamilton isn´t that bad either. I think both are pretty equal except one thing:

I think vettel is the one that´s better in dealing with pressure. The last quotes from lewis are in my point of view an indication that he feels the pressure and has a lot of respect for Seb. The incident with Ricciardo at the pit entry in Bahrain shows that pretty good i think.

Lewis (or his confidence) maybe hasn´t forgotten that he´s been beaten by Nico in the same car last year... :-)

Yes, Hamilton is good, but in my opinion Vettel is simply better. Not only is Vettel better at coping with pressure, he is also generally more consistent, and tend to be better at tyre management.

Nope Hamilton is junk as shown already this year even with the fastest car he cant make a damn difference, people should quit living in fear of saying the right things against this low grade driver just because he is black. The BLM propaganda has gotten into people heads real good it seems.

This is complete rubbish. I´m aware of the fact Toto said the engine failure blabla, but he surely said that in order to build lewis up again. Niki and Toto spoke completely different directly after abu dhabi. This sentence mentioned was said from toto long time after Abu Dhabi..

Lewis lost the 2016 season because of the bad starts AND because of his own mistakes.
Plus Lewis could consider him as very lucky after Nico giving him his place at Monaco and Red Bull fucking up their strategy. Take also Canada 16, which lewis only won because Ferrari made strategy mistakes..

So all in all it´s just rubbish to state that Malaysia costed him the championship, because on top of that it was always Lewis on "hammertime" and pressing every horse out of his engines, because of his bad starts for example, or because of his error in qualifying in Baku.. This is why he suffered such bad reliability in comparism to Nico. Nico had good starts and cruised away while nursing the engines, whereas Lewis was on his "hammertime".

And on top of that: Lewis is to blame for Austria AND for Spain. I´m well aware Nico was penalised in Austria but this is complete nonsense to do so, i´m pretty sure there had been some british stewards... :-) Every racer knows Lewis chipped of Nicos front wing on purpose at that situation. Lewis knew he was just that tiny bit in front in order to do so... Saying later Nico was in his blind spot is completely ridiculous. A 3 time WDC says he couldn´t see Nico after passing him during braking because he was in his blind spot? Just a big Haha in that context. Spain was also totally Lewis´fault no matter in which engine mode Nico was stuck. Lewis crashed into Nico and end of story. Remember Spa in 2014 where Nico chipped Lewis left rear tyre.. In that case it was only Nicos fault.. :-)

And several other aspects: Take Nicos penalty in Hockenheim for example whereas other drivers do exactly the same in different races and getting never penalised for that.. (Verstappen in Hungary/Mexico, Hamilton in Canada with Rosberg etc pp)

So all in all Lewis was 2016 outperformed by Nico and this is why he became WDC.
No one said after abu dhabi 2014 Nico didn´t became champion because of his reliability issues in Silverstone, Singapore and Abu Dhabi.. This is maybe something Lewis fans have quickly forgotten..

And as Vettel said after Abu Dhabi: "You don´t become champion by luck.."

i didn´t get that toto said that before his retirement.

nevertheless: The points had surely been that way no matter, but let us ask the question ín that context what would´ve been if Rosberg didn´t let Lewis past in Monaco, if Lewis didn´t kick out Rosberg in Spain and if Lewis didn´t push Rosberg off the track in Canada..

So you see it´s rubbish to say lewis´ engine failure is responsible for Nico being champion.
