1/2s were Rosberg in Canada and Hamilton in Germany.

Monaco doesn't figure at all as that was a driver error for Rosberg (and I've omitted Hamilton's self inflicted qualifying problems at Austria and GB).

Rosberg has only won or finished ahead of Hamilton when either Hamilton or the team/car has made a significant error (with the exception of Monaco)

Australia - Car failure in race
Monaco - Qualifying shenanigans
Canada - Car failure in race
Austria - Qualifying error by Hamilton
Germany - Qualifying car failure

 

Hamilton certainly has a persecution complex:

Hamilton was surprised after track marshals ran on to the Hockenheim circuit to push away broken-down Sauber and safety car not deployed; "I think you know why,"

 

Just 'cos you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you !

 

Very true!

 

Telling analysis LG. It will be interesting if we can get a few more data points to be sure of a trend.

I want him to win fair and square but I think Hamilton's bleeting is a bit OTT. No one wants a safety car if avoidable and the Sauber was well off the racing line I thought and I don't think at that corner there were many if any overtaking maneuvers (which would have possibly needed room inside the racing line.) I'm not sure if the flags actually being waved were able to or did say 'no overtaking at this corner'?

 

The decision to not call the safety car would have been down to Charlie Whiting, who is of course British.

It was a bit strange; we've had safety cars for less, and I was surprised to see marshals running across the track like that.

 

anyone else notice the large number of empty seats at the circuit?

 

As was the case at Silverstone a fortnight ago.

 

Waved yellows is "slow down, prepare to stop, and no overtaking".

There was a fair bit of talk in the media about the empty seats, it was much worse on Saturday. Then again, with prices so high (presumably) and a generally better experience watching it on TV, it's hardly surprising, and especially so in Germany with no more MSC and Vettel doing poorly this season.

 

I wonder if the German fans don't really see Rosberg as German?

I'd bet a lot of German and other central european fans chose Austria over Hockenheim this year, and that's probably a big part of the reason for the empty seats.
