I wasn't at all saying that he's not talented. He's a damn good driver to even be in Formula One and a better one to win but a lot of that has to do with the fact that the Mercedes engineers have crafted the almost-perfect racing car this season.

It's exactly my point. He's a good driver...but he wouldn't be winning if the car wasn't so well put together. Take Fernando Alonso...great driver but awful car. My Ford Focus could probably nearly beat the McLaren-Honda this year. (Not being serious...but insulting McLaren-Honda is necessary)

This whole thing on turn one of the US GP with him and Rosberg just goes to prove the point. Hamilton "under-steered into" his teammate and then claims he did nothing wrong. Then the guy says “Everyone has the right to their own opinion but it doesn’t matter because I won the race so I feel pretty good about it.” Yeah, Rosberg ran wide later and gave up the lead to Hammy but that's unrelated.

Meanwhile, Rosberg is pissed...and it's not the first time this happened either. They crashed at Spa last year.

I just can't bring myself to like the guy or think that he deserves the hype that he gets. I feel like Rosberg would be better off with a different teammate...I feel like he deserves a better teammate whether he's with Mercedes or not in the coming years.

This is why WRC, WEC and WTCC is more entertaining. No drama.
