Rosberg looking flustered

[TITWONK]

Nico looked pretty pissed off/ flustered in yesterdays press conference. what's all that about? anybody know? Probably because Kimi was getting all the attention, but he didn't seem happy at all.

I noticed this as well... bored maybe? I imagine those press interviews must become mind numbing after a while.

[TITWONK]

He didn't like last race being referred to as a disappointment lol! Soon got on the defensive

[rdjohn]

He looked pretty bullish tonight!

[Jasandjules]

I guess he let his driving do the talking..

[TITWONK]

Yeah I thought that,go Rosberg! Looking forward to watching the start now

Feeling under pressure.

Hard to say, we hear such edited highlights.

Drove well today though, certainly at the limits of the car/tyre capability.

Yes I noticed this, there is definitely something seriously wrong with him.

His face was on fire in the drivers press conference on Friday.

Something's going on at merc?

Button on the cards to join Merc perhaps... leaving Rosberg a bit miffed?

Narrr! Replace a German driver thats done a pretty good job for a Brit that is happy to be rolling in 6th & 7th?

Button doesnt look happy with it to me.

[snorkel sucker]

very true but Rosberg, IMHO, isn't happy with being a number 2, which in effect he is to Hamilton.

Button has no more to prove, is not in a decent car right now and whilst not happy to be Hamilton's number 2, was able to have a harmonious relationship with him at McLaren.

Rosberg could well want to take a punt at McLaren next year and see how it pans out. If Perez stays, he'd be easy a number 1.

Or maybe even Rosberg and Hulkenburg to McLaren. New engines, new faces etc...

In what way is Rosberg 'Number 2' at Mercedes? I havent seen any evidence of that.

Indeed, he finished higher that Hamilton today.

Before Monza rosberg had zero realistic chance at the wdc, therefore his role would be and was to support Lewis as much as possible.
Now it looks like neither of them have a realistic chance at the wdc so it's business as usual.
Rosberg has done really well this year,always rated him as a driver.

Really?

He's not a bad driver but I've never seen anything in him that makes me think he'll ever do anymore than win a few races. I could never see him as Champion. Bit like Massa used to be, right car on the right day on the right track and he'll win but I don't really feel like he'll ever make things happen like the top guys do.

[Dunit]

Looked like he was not to happy at Lewis being right behind him at the end when he knows he should be well up the road,

[Panda76]

Yep really,with Rosberg in with no chance his team role would be to back Lewis. As it is they are both out of any realistic chance of the Wdc so business as usual.

Both the Merc drivers looked off this weekend,something might be going on.

There are certain suggestions about Brawn and Williams. Could this be it?
