MMmmm, I'm not sure they did though? I don't ever remember Merc or even MS saying that MS was going to come in and turn the team around? Hoping maybe, but not pinning their flag to the wall as they are right now??

To be fair Michael would have looked a bit daft saying he was joining the double champions to turn them around.

Yeah, it was more a "we'll do awesome things together" than "we'll turn things around" as there was nothing that needed turning.

Well, Nico's support team includes his dad, Keke, who was brash, intelligent, tough & fair driver. I think he's there to give extra push to Nico if needed (although Nico already has more experience in F1).

This will be an awesome battle straight out the gate although something tells me nico might just have him in the beginning, as I believe and have for about 3yrs now that rosberg is ready to crack in terms of serious consistent results we saw early this year he can lead and win from a well earned pole over just one lap in q3, as for Hamilton I predict mid season he will be quite quick but the issue here is has Michael really made a difference to the merc on to take 2-3 yrs to implement it there fore when Lewis actually succeeds it will look greater than It actually is I mean every one knows schumi made a vast improvement this yr and the standings do no justice on a poor reliability front. No doubt Lewis will make a positive impact but I think its unfair to sit back and say schuy had nothing to do with it if it's a regular winning car.

Rosberg will be fine. Good driver, will be close, sometimes he will win. Hamilton may pull out qualy uplift but maybe he won't. Maybe car will fast, maybe it will be sub par again. Wait and see.

Well jenson button recently said that rosberg will be surprised by hamiltons outright speed.
so i'd tend to believe the one guy who can best attest to hamilton's speed since he raced alongside him for three years.

He's never been team mates with Rosberg in an F1 car though, so no one knows yet how he will compare with a modern day F1 Nico Rosberg.

Right, and Button mentioned that as well. Rosberg may be able to match or come close to hamilton when the car is good on that particular weekend, but when the car is not so good Hamilton is one of the few that can extract a lot more out of it, hence Button's point.
In a separate article Button also said he had the mp4-27 was the worst McLaren of his years there. It's safe to say he was impressed with what Lewis was able to do this year in that car.
Just food for thought.

No he didn't. He said it suited him least.

Agreed. Also I'm not sure if the previous quote was directly from Button anyway, was it not a quoted from a third party who had (apparently) been talking to Button?

Anyway, good to see Button has been introduced to the argument, I've missed that lately...

He will be. He will be.

As I said, Rosberg is toasted. When Mercedes CEO Nick Fry is saying that Schumacher was long past his best, Rosberg won only because he had the best car, but Hamilton is the only driver alongside Alonso who can win in not the best car and Mercedes has obligation to provide him very good car, then you know Nico Rosberg will be number 2 driver in Mercedes.

Just imagine it. You are Nico Rosberg and you just woke up to read that your boss is saying Ferrari driver and recently signed McLaren driver are the best in F1 and you are not. I know I would feel a little disreputable.

Oh, I agree about it, but what is he doing now is effectively dissing in public driver(s) of his team in last 3 years and praising the future one, who is not even yet officially driving for them. It can be insightful and honest, but it's pretty unprofessional.
