In all honesty, Bernie's biggest problem is his age. He's an 84 year old guy controlling a series with technology far beyond reasonable understanding. He's a very technical and business educated guy. F1 needs a 21st century equivalent of him to jump the rails and bring it around.
Reminds me of Sepp Blatter.
Going on your logic, you say that GP2 hasn't produced a good driver ever, or since Hamilton when he won it. Vandoorne just got lucky, just like Hulkenberg too when he won the GP2 championship. Just going off your logic/previous statements.
I do like it when people try and throw my previous comments back at me. It's ironic that you should have gone through my previous comments on the subject, since you seem to have completely disregarded my most recent comment. If Vandoorne had just won the GP2 title, then maybe you might have a point - but considering that he has won two of the major junior series and placed as runner-up in two more, it's very difficult to refute the argument that he is talented.
But Nico Hulkenberg three championships before his GP2 championship, and run up in 2007 F3, which is the close to Vandoorne record, means nothing? I don't look back, I remember because you tend to say stuff that always conflicts against everything. Be consistent, either a dominating a GP2 championship or winning it is because either the talent is poor. Or, and hold on to your hat here, that both Hulkenberg and Vandoorne are both brilliant drivers and both should race in F1.
Rosberg could go to Ferrari in 2017.
But will Nico accept to be second driver until the end of his career? 2016 could be a copy paste of 2015.
By that logic, he'll be a second driver anywhere. He has got a championship in him - 2014 proved that he can fight for it. I think he surprised Hamilton a bit in that regard. I just see any reason for him to be unhappy at Mercedes; the mechanical problem this year have not guaranteed the demise of his title hopes, they merely hastened it. He knows how to carry a title fight, and Mercedes will offer him the greatest opportunity to follow through on it. Being second driver might not sound ideal, but I am sure most drivers would rather play second string at a team capable of winning titles than they would take the lead at a team that doesn't stand a chance. Because while there is a gap between Hamilton and Rosberg, it's not measured in light years, but rather tenths of a second. Sochi proved that he can do it, and I'm willing to bet that he was treating the weekend as a dress rehearsal for 2016 (which Toto Wolff seems to think is the case).
