A sign that young Nico's cage has been well and truly rattled by the signing of the old master or the naively outspoken opinions of an unsophisticated babe-in-arms? |

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/01012010/23/...ys-rosberg.html Rosberg said this at Abu Dhabi. It was first reported a week ago. The comments were made after a generic question was posed by people trying to extract a news worth response. I read this long ago and dismissed it. |

I think young Nico had no idea he was going to have Schumacher as a team mate when he signed for Mercedes... he probably thought Jenson would stay... I bet he cannot believe his bad fortune... it would be nice if he had his tantrum in private and keep his gob shut and let his driving do his talking... maybe he knows his driving will not be enough... |

In light of the timing suggested by Flood's post I think we can dismiss this as slightly malicious journalism. As to whether he is pleased to find himself as Schumi's team mate surely depends on how positive he chooses to be. Assuming for a moment he doesn't beat the old man he could, Massa-like, take the opportunity to learn from the master. Nico is still young and is a few years away from his peak, and he can make this work for him. Of course, the upside is that if he does beat Schumacher his reputation will be considerably enhanced no matter that people would likely say that it was only because MS had "lost it" - and were that to happen it's likely there would be some truth to that point of view, although it could be something as innocuous as the car suiting Nico's style better than it suits MS. |

Hey, I have no issue with people defending Schumacher but I do think it is rather foolish to label Nico as a plonker. Just note that it was very much in the same tone as blaming Rubens for Austria 2002. Though, one man's passion is another man's poison, I guess. |

Nico is a plonker (IMO) to say dangerous driving emanated from one driver and as late as the mid 1990's. It's only one opinion just as others opinion's of drivers are just that... their opinions., like calling Rubens a winger, or Kimi lazy, or Alonso a prima donna... etc. etc... These are all simply opinions formed by individuals and shared or disputed in equal measure.

lol, Nico is young, very young, he may never have seen the sort of intimidatory tacics used by the likes of Senna; Schumacher may have been the first driver *he saw* using them - which is all he claimed. |
