    Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Nico Rosberg stands alone. Nico Rosberg didn't become Nico Rosberg. Nico Rosberg was born Nico Rosberg. When Nico Rosberg wakes up in the morning, he's Nico Rosberg.

    Nico Rosberg is a hero today because he put himself out to save the life of a drowning child, and for that he deserves every plaudit possible!

    I admire him for not only saving the child and helping the family afterwards, but also for his modesty about the whole affair afterwards - That is pure Class! (Lewis Hamilton should take notes on that lesson!)

    However, you originally said:

    So I have queried how he has always been a hero, as until now, he has never done anything really heroic, either on-track or off-track.

    Being a nice guy doesn't make you a hero! - Stephen Fry is a nice guy but I'd never say he is a hero!


    Here you go, you can have this back - Careful where you're throwing those things though, you could have someone's eye out!:

    Heck, I'd be tempted to keep that... what a beautifully crafted dagger. :D

    All the best,

    Exactly.

    Does Nico really deserve admiration for simply being in the right place at the right time or for doing what any other caring person would have done?

    How hard is the question that I've asked? :confused:

    Okay, let's try again! - You originally said:

    And then I asked:

    So I ask again: How has Nico Rosberg always been a hero?

    I'm not asking a question about a new propulsion system to get vehicles to Mars! - I'm just simply asking you to explain the statement that you've posted, because I cannot see, previously to saving this boys life, how Nico Rosberg has always been a hero.
