I already have.

Here I'll show you where:

Last year, Nico finished 18 points behind Hamilton (roughly one second place finish). Nico retired from 3 races whilst Hamilton only retired from one and I think it is fairly conceivable that Nico would have been equal if not ahead of Hamilton had he not had more retirements. Nico Rosberg also won more races than Hamilton in 2013.

Nico Rosberg is leading the 2014 Championship, some of it is down to bad luck on Hamilton's but Nico has also been far more consistent and has taken the results as they come. Whereas Hamilton almost ruined his own races at both Germany and Hungary whilst attempting to charge through the field.

Could you please explain why Rosberg would not still be in the team if he was a different nationality?
Even if my post above is due to a misinterpretation, it is still relevant to the thread and takes on some of the points you made. It is not nit-picking because you decided to write a rather confusing sentence and the above is how I interpreted it.

You can't ask someone to ignore a word in a sentence when you're the one who has decided to write the sentence, even more so when a single word can completely change how a sentence is interpreted. That is your problem as the writer not my problem as the reader. You could have simply said 'sorry, this is what I meant...' or 'sorry, I don't know why I said 'still'...'

I'm sure with your superior comprehension of the english language, that you can work out that my post argues against any notion of Nico being perceived as the No. 2 driver or that he is only in the seat because he is German.

Again, I've taken on some of your points here albeit after a fair amount of nit-picking. I still don't agree with your original post and I am looking for further explanation even though you try and distract away from the questions I have asked you.

Blame Versus Responsibility.

I'd just like to say that long and pedantic posts are even more tedious when the poster resorts to quoting himself to make a point.

Now, is there anyone left who hasn't completely lost the will to live?

If "Brevity be the soul of whit." Where does that leave long and tedious posts; whitless?

Where's the cyanide?

Newbie here. Like the site. Read this on Monday (gpweek) which seems to present a similar line - mag.gpweek.com/#folio=21 - maybe the tide of opinion is turning

There is a block button or you can quite simply ignore my post. Short enough for you?
