Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
Do you guys really think rosberg is up for the challenge at Mercedes GP, after all Mercedes GP are the former Brawn team and have a good technical car underneath them, especially with schumi linked to mercedes,
would rosberg have the potential to beat a 7 time wdc and go on to win the 2010 title>?>

Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
This going to be great chance for rosberg to prove his worthiness. Its going to be difficult ...may it be now or never situation. Can he beat schumacher? ..basically depends how schumi makes a comeback.

Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
Well, I think he really was ready for this step; he had a very good last year, with unlucky no podiums

Rosberg waited too long to make a switch, and I think it's too late now. We'll see him on the podium, but not enough. Missed change, mr. Rosberg jr.

Time to retire then If MS is 41, Nico has 17 years yet Tom, so its not too lateJoostLamers wrote:Nonsense: He's only 24!Tom Vandenhove wrote:Rosberg waited too long to make a switch, and I think it's too late now. We'll see him on the podium, but not enough. Missed change, mr. Rosberg jr.

Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
Buh .. still too late imo Anyway, we should see. Rosberg is talented. You never know what he'll do
Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
Its sure Rosberg is ready for Mercedes. The problem is that he will surely makes some stupid errors in his 1st year (like Vettel in Torro Rosso).
So, its a very good thing for Rosberg that Schumi will be his team mate (remember that Massa has learned many things with schumi in 2006)

Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
But it could be a bad thing for Nico too, if Schumi beats him by a significant margin- it may reduce Nico's morale and thus he'd struggle for the rest of his career.MSC II wrote: So, its a very good thing for Rosberg that Schumi will be his team mate (remember that Massa has learned many things with schumi in 2006)

but i agree with Tom that Nico should have switched from Williams earlier itself, but it is not too late
Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
Rosberg has been racing in F1 for 3 years, he had 10 years ahead of him. Saying he moved too late I disagree with, seeing as I doubt he could have moved anyway and this was his best, most consistent season.
Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
Rosberg is totally ready for Mercedes Imo, he has been consistant at Williams, and will be so at Mercedes.
Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
I seriously doubt that. Rosberg will be a competitive team-mate to say the least.cformula1 wrote: But it could be a bad thing for Nico too, if Schumi beats him by a significant margin- it may reduce Nico's morale and thus he'd struggle for the rest of his career.
Re: Is Nico Rosberg ready for Mercedes?
He's more than capable enough. He's been making fewer and fewer mistakes over the years, and he's put in some stunning drives despite his uncompetitive (and sometimes unreliable) car. He's shown remarkable consistency in 2009, seldom failing to score points when an opportunity arose.
Put him at the wheel of a fast car and I think he'll be a championship contender. He may be a bit to nice to win it, but I think he'll put up a good fight. That is obviously unless the team blatantly favours his teammate, which isn't unheard of...
