What I find interesting is the gap between Rosberg & MS. Compared to other team mates of supposed equal status in the team, it's enormous - regardless of his time away from the sport.
I'm sure if he's given a more suitable car (and lets face it he's had a car built specifically for him for a decade now) he will improve, but there's just no way on earth the old Schumy is coming back. He's enjoying himself too much for a start!
His misjudgements in how to handle his competitors on track are one thing, but the ability to adapt to a car that wasn't made for him is clearly not there - unlike his team mate it would seem.
I like MS. I remember what he did for us and how he did it, but moreover I actually like the guy and still admire his determination in deciding to come back (even though he baulked us in doing so). The only issue i have with him is that he seems to think he should have a different set of rules applied to him than any other driver as regards movements on track (unless you count Hami!).
That doesn't make him "hard but fair" in my eyes, that makes him a liability to other drivers. My mind was made up on that when he clashed with the Force Indias on the last lap in Canada. The situation with Rubens only served to reinforce that view.
