Shame this particular JP isn't Juan-Pablo instead.
Montoya for the comeback.

You know which outcome I prefer.

The Honda PU manages to last the distance, b.) McLaren gain a LOT of pace and don't end up getting lapped by the Mercs/Ferraris/someone else, or c.) a really chaotic race ensues that sees several safety car periods, most of the frontrunners eliminated and a win for Marcus Ericsson, with both Manors in the points.

Or d) the race itself gets cancelled or stopped due to heavy rain or something like that.

Haha, I'm obviously living in the past.

The way he reacted to the team message that was only 0.042 away from pole position, and he shouted "Come on guys" makes me think he's either getting a bit tired of beeing #2, or is slowly turning into "Nico Coulthard", like Klon puts it, or into the new Mark Webber.
His sound bites by saying the team was putting too much pressure on him at the wrong moments during qualifying looks like desperation to me. That is stage two in becoming a solid number 2 driver.

I have to say that, since the radio transmission restrictions came in, it looks as if Rosberg has lost a little of his edge and been slightly more unsettled within the cockpit than before. It wouldn't be surprising if at least some of those frustrations at being unable to unlock the performance that he had before came to the fore in that message.
Furthermore, I wonder if there is also an element of feeling concerned about Ferrari's considerable turnaround in form this season - given that Nico has also been beaten three successive times in qualifying, he knows that, strategically, he is more exposed to being beaten by Ferrari than Hamilton is, and I wouldn't be surprised if that has also created just a little bit of uncertainty and frustration in his mind.

Either Bernie's continuing to go senile, or he's taking trolling to a whole new level.
