Why outclassed Hamilton should be scared

Lewis Hamilton has been beaten by Nico Rosberg before. Rosberg has had championship momentum before. But there's something different about the latest turnaround, especially after Singapore

Lewis Hamilton was defiant after he was completely outshone by Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg throughout the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. But the reigning world champion should be concerned. Rosberg has never been better placed to win his first Formula 1 world title.

Rosberg put together the best race weekend of his F1 career. After a crash in first practice, he dialled the car in, beat Hamilton by a staggering 0.704 seconds in qualifying and then dominated the race from the front to snatch the championship lead for the first time this side of the summer break.
