He's going to have to. Right now, he has to be the worst Ferrari driver since Ivan Capelli.
Badoer and Fisichella where worse tbh, it sounds like he is just not sorted with the car and the difference is exaggerated, even though I think Alonso was always better then Kimi, if kimi was performing as well at Ferrari as he was at Lotus I think he would be within 15/20 points of Alonso at this stage.He's going to have to.

Badoer was much more compromised then probably anyone who has been in a f1 seat in decades, he hadn't driven a F1 car in almost 10 years before the call up and didn't do any other proper racing in the time either, the whole situation was a massive face palm moment from ferrari.Yeah but they had far less time to get sorted, we know that the Giancarlo wasn't slow that season so long as he was driving the Force India he had been use too. And Badoer was a simple development driver it'd be like putting in PdR. I do think it has more to do with Ferrari having very poor balance compared to the Lotus he was use to, but I feel Kimi's indifference is an issue.
No. Whatever capital he built up last time, he's burned it all up and then some now. Given his 2014 performances, you wouldn't know he was a World Champion once upon a time.You mean if we ignore what he did at Ferrari the first time around, right?

Hamilton made plenty of cock-ups too that could have given Massa the championship. That's why every race seemed to count for something.I remember the end of the 2008 race... Massa's engine went KAPUT with 3 laps to go... handed the win to Hamilton '-' And going by the final standings, that win would give Massa the championship... '-'

Hamilton performs at his best when he's in the 2nd/3rd fastest car and about 50 points behind in the championship which is frustrating, whenever he gets close to or leads the championship something gets in the way.Hamilton made plenty of cock-ups too that could have given Massa the championship.

I mean maybe he doesn't like having an easy Sunday like Malaysia, which could be what this weekend ends up being.
I still don't understand the hype around Hamilton, it seems every time he doesn't win rather than congratulating Rosberg on the job he's done (i.e. Not screwing up in qualifying and driving a measured race (Germany excluded due to Hamiltons failure)) most would rather come up with poor excuses as to why Hamilton didn't win rather than accepting that Rosberg just did a better job over the weekend.
All the nonsense about Mercedes making Hamilton's pitstops slower springs to mind as a good example.
Whichever of them wins the title will deserve it whether that comes about due to car failures or just being faster.
Personally, i hope it's Rosberg that wins and i hope there isn't a load of 'what might have been had Hamilton not gone to tesco that morning' nonsense as it's getting fairly boring now.
It would be a great shame to see the driver that wins the most lose the championship, but if that's how the cookie crumbles so be it, and life will still go on.
There is a scenario that would see Hamilton win all but 1 race remaining (13 wins from 19) and still come second to Rosberg in the championship.
Cheers double points in Abu Dhabi, way to dictate a champion!
If that were to happen, I wouldn't blame double points. I'd blame Hamilton. After all, he and Rosberg developed an identical brake problem within minutes of one another in Canada. Despite the team's misgivings - they were convinced the problem was terminal - Rosberg managed the problem and finished on the podium. Hamilton pushed too hard and for too long, ruined his brakes, and as a result, was forced out of the race.There is a scenario that would see Hamilton win all but 1 race remaining (13 wins from 19) and still come second to Rosberg in the championship.

I don't get how it's getting boring, unless you're talking about the topic of Hamilton, as for the might have beens there is that any season with any driver. You're entire premise seems to be the same of those talking up say Vettel, and being annoyed by it and thus rant, though many have given great reasoning and evidence to show otherwise that Hamilton is as good as people make him out to be.

For Sky Sports customers, here are the classic races leading up to this weekend's race;
Thursday - 1997
Friday - 2013
Saturday - 1998
Sunday - 2014 & 1990
I will now put this into the OP for future races.
I'm talking solely about the topic of Hamilton.
Almost every time I look at a GP thread on here where LH doesn't win all I see is 'oh but Hamilton would have xxx if xxx didn't happen' or the equivalent. It's just dull, the problem isn't just confined to this forum though, Crofty on Sky going crazy every time Hamilton overtakes a much slower car and proclaiming it to be a fantastic overtake is equally boring.

It would easy to blame double points for "robbing" Hamilton of a championship - but going by their current form, Rosberg deserves it more. Hamilton might have won more races, but he has also made more mistakes. Some were beyond his ability to control, but he has thrown away easy opportunities, like qualifying in Austria and Britain.
Let me ask you this - what would you say if, instead of losing the title because of double points Hamilton wins it? Because if you compare their performances this year, Rosberg will probably have the upper hand in Abu Dhabi, assuming he hasn't won the title already.
