Crybabies or not, Hamilton is clearly the superior driver IMO.

I put Rosberg and Vettel in the same class. If Vettel were driving for Merc this year, we'd have what we have now with Rosberg I think.

Ricciardo is just a better driver than Vettel IMO. It will be interesting to see how Vettel does in the Ferrari.

Many of them have been home-schooled their entire lives and likely don't have the best social skills (if any at all). When I tried to go pro in my younger days, the maturity level of the kids I was competing against was cringe-worthy (I went to public schools). So I completely understand why drivers like Rosberg, Hamilton and Vettel act so immature. Contrast that to someone like Felipe or Mark Webber who has had time to mature. It comes with age.

However to be a great driver you unfortunately don't really need social maturity (it certainly makes it easier if you do have it though).

Anyways my point is that Rosberg has basically the same car as Hamilton so using the car as an excuse as to why Rosberg can't beat Hamilton doesn't really gel with me.
