I have.read what he actually says without the rose tinted glasses.....
And I've watched Nico's pass (where he missed the apex after a late dive up the inside) and Lewis's re pass (where he ran his car wide onto the line Nico wanted to be on) many times.
It really is a non topic and was very hard passing by both. Anyone who likes racing should be commending them both.
Rose tinted glasses - I like both Drivers and am quite sure Nico will beat Lewis regularly this season.

If there were walls rather than white lines, or rules were strictly enforced about leaving track boundaries, what would have happened there?IMO Hamilton would have lost the position or caused a collision.

this year is showing two things for me:
lewis hamilton is as good as we thought he was in 2007/2008
vettel is not as good as we've constantly been told.
remember the 2009 mclaren and what hamilton did with it? that's what we should be seeing from vettel were he a true great. we're not.
Exactly, load of crap talked about Lewis over the last few years, nobody has better car control at the moment.lewis hamilton is as good as we thought he was in 2007/2008
vettel is not as good as we've constantly been told.

Ricciardo is looking every bit the better over vettel....

Rather early to be forming conclusions like that. And somewhat insulting to DR.lewis hamilton is as good as we thought he was in 2007/2008
vettel is not as good as we've constantly been told.

In case there was any doubt, Lewis is back.
Nico had a difficult session, he didn't seem to like the full wet at all and tried too hard on the inters - if he's putting pressure on himself he needs to stop it.
Ferrari? Kimi looked uncomfortable, still not gelling with the car. Alonso doing his usual "best it can do" but at ~2 seconds off the pace Marco whassisname must wonder what he's taken on. If Bell is going there at the end of the year this year is a write off I think.
RIC 3-1 VET. Either RIC is a megastar in waiting or Seb isn't as good as his stats would suggest.
Great job by Romain to get the Lotus in Q3, JEV also.
Nice job from Massa right at the end, steadily putting Bottas in place in the team.
Should be interesting in the midfield tomorrow, Mercs coming through and the FI's / STR's trying not to fall back.
