After the first four fly-away races, some were nearly ready to write Nico Rosberg off the title chase, so dominant had Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton been over the opening 2015 segment. But the German has since gradually recovered to emerge again as a genuine contender with impressive performances in Spain and Austria. And though he did benefit from a stroke of luck in Monaco, Rosberg just has the knack of constantly fighting back to keep Hamilton on his toes, as highlighted by his Friday sweep in free practice for the British Grand Prix.
