He is not broken just yet, beaten by his teammate and better driver yes, He better pull his socks up and fast and show what he really can do, without radio help too, otherwise I can see Alonso taking that seat.
Yes, of course, Mr deluded overblown ego would just love another season getting publicly blown into the weeds by Lewis, he was so keen in 2008 for this that he went and hid in a midfield Renault, taking a large pay cut for the privilege and resorting to cheating, staging a crash, to keep his "legend" alive.

Rookies get faster, everyone knows this.


Alonso has nowhere else to go, Red Bull do not like him anymore than Mercedes and he has well and truly burned all bridges. Even a few days ago he was contradicting McLaren just to try and make himself look better, nobody trusts or likes him and his ridiculous "I could have any seat I want in F1, I control the driver market" outburst shows how rattled and desperate he has become.

To answer the OP's question, Lewis has broken Nico and alonso

Let's say Nico remains the almost driver, if Lewis is left fighting the Ferraris at the front Nico could end up being there to pick up the scraps.

Which probably won Hamilton the championship.

More importantly, has Lewis broken some sort of fashion rule? The Telegraph has launched an almost sniff petrol-esque attack at him...

Every now and then I wish this place was on a customer forum like VBulletin so I could separate individual posts and fk them off to another part of the forum like the mods do on F1Technical when someone goes off on a tangent about something that really doesn't matter in regards to the thread topic.

His hair, dear God man his fking hair? This is the F1 forum, for things that happen on race tracks and in the paddock... but you want to talk about hair? So much is going on with Rosberg making weird statements and Alonso getting a little bit paranoid that people are laughing at him, Abitaboul has his head in his hands, Honer has his hands around Cyril's neck and Monisha can't believe her luck how her season has dramatically improved, but lets all focus of some bloke's hair....
MX5 drivers can enjoy F1 as well you know whistle

This is a very good point they must be over the moon with how their season has started , but probably worthy of a new thread smile

Lewis fighting Ferraris for wins? Scraps being what? Second of third in championship?

I think Nico is definitely rattled.

Interesting article on James Allen about this. He reckons the fact the Ferarris are closer actually means Merc cannot put the second driver on a 'gamble' strategy therefore reducing Nico's chances of challenging from behind.

He's absolutely right. Probably why Nico is getting his knickers in such a twist.

I was more getting at the fact that let's say Hamilton and Vettel are fighting at the front, could Nico benefit by always being in a position to pick up 2nd/3rd? He would then only need to wait for Hamilton/ Vettel to have a strategy failure or breakdown to benefit.

I would say not yet but he's well on the way to doing so. that "oh come on guys" after losing out to Lewis in qualifying in Shanghai proves to me he's looking for other people to blame rather than eeking out the extra himself.
I think this is backed up by him asking about what lines Lewis was taking in the Malaysian GP qualifying during the changing weather, he should have gone his own way on that one and been able to work it out for himself whereas Lewis just seems to go for it.

Nico does seem to be moaning a bit too much, but if the places were switched I think Lewis would be just as bad.
