Say it louder for the people in the back
nico rosberg genuinely deserved better at mercedes. why?
who had mercedes first win since their return? nico rosberg
out of the 54 wins mercedes had in the hamilton rosberg era, nico won 41% of them (22 races)
out of the 63 pole positions mercedes earned in this era, nico earned 46% of them (29 pole positions)
nico is still FIFTH on the rankings of most consecutive victories with 7 (mexico 2015 - russia 2016)
nico quite often beat michael schumacher in equal machinery (yes, i know its not prime schumacher, but c'mon , its still schumacher)
but, who was mercedes tailoring the car towards? schumacher. yet who won the only grand prix they won before lewis got there? nico . rosberg .
who did the team tailor the car to when lewis arrived? lewis. who had the first victory in that car? nico . rosberg .
nico did everything expected of being the number 2 driver that they FORCED him to be
then, he went against his OWN team
his OWN friend
showed the WORLD he didn't have to be a 2nd driver
this is a massive what if
but.. what if they'd actually trusted nico in that no.1 driver position?
what if he wasn't left to be following lewis and michael?
maybe I'm delusional, but nico was a damn good driver
underrated in his technical outlook
nico . rosberg . deserved . better .
