"Please give him a knighthood  "
He may be a good driver but there is still a slight problem - he's German, of Finnish / German descent, so surely not qualified for a Knighthood, some honorary thingy perhaps, but not the real thing.
(oh and Lewis is the better driver of the two, inspite of his emotional ups and downs - IMHO of course)
That said both are putting on a very good show this year.  |

Maybe he can just be part of the Royal family then!

Classic British trait, knock down anyone successful and talented with a desire to be the best and call them arrogant! No doubt had Senna, Prost, Schumacher etc been British they would have been abused rather than lauded as well. |

Nico is going to be in huge huge trouble..
both lewis hamilton and Toto Wolff have said that in their "behind the scene post race" meeting that Nico said he could have done something to avoid the accident, but didn't to prove a point....
the fact this had come out...the FIA are going to crush him...
I sense a "couple of race" ban coming..... |

+1. Knowing the meaning of words before using them is generally a good idea. Arrogance is having an exaggerated sense of one's importance or abilities, neither of which is a trait Lewis displays. |

Nah, don't see that happen, the race is history now, gotta remember Lewis force Nico off the track at last race in Hungary with 2 laps to go, nothing happens. |

"Mr Mild Mannered Nicky Lauda was pissed off at Rosberg on the interview i saw. I would'nt want to be In Nico's shoes!"
Not the best thing to do if you want the pick of future sponsors but things happen I wonder what we would all be saying if the deliberate action had produced an injury or fatality  |

"Fine line between confidence/arrogance and Smarm.
If Lewis looks behind him he will see how far he has crossed it.  "
The only arrogance displayed today was Rosberg.... thinking he could pull off a classic Hamilton manoeuvre to make a point ... but failing miserably. There was no need at all to try to take Hamilton at that stage of the race, in those circumstances other than to try and show Hamilton he 'thought' could. |

Think the same mate, always good to listen to the words they speak in interview. How they put themselves come across may seem arrogant, but from language they use and lack of self doubt is ingrained within them which wath helps them win. F1 not my sport but take Mark Cavendish for example. Often talked of as arrogant, but IMHO just sheer self belief. |

i'm not a great racing fan but after seeing the incident on tv and reading that rosberg admitted he hit lewis to "prove a point" it just shows how shit he really is. puts me in mind of another german who used to win by any means possible. i hope he's banned for the rest of the season. isn't that bringing the sport into dis-repute? |
