when Martin asked him about why he was called, he was about to say "this motherfucking team aren't able to handle a shitload of advantage and is fucking me to play a Senna"

looks like that scene in schindler's list when the nazi chap tries to be good and he fails miserably

Whatever happens next this will probably work out bad for Nico. If we look back at Belgium last year the team had to find a way to repay Lewis for that incident. Now we have a similar situation where Nico has been given a victory (not his fault) and now Mercedes will need to redress the balance.

One thing Mercedes still haven't quite got right since start of 2014 is strategy management. They should be highly thankful that Nico was running in P2 and not Seb as that pit stop would have turned from being a fuck up to a total catastrophe.

or maybe someone above Mercedes said to call Hamilton in to "spice the championship"

The only good thing is that Rosberg will feel more confident now (while he would have been depressed in normal circumstances)

Drivers lose races for teams just as much as teams lose them for drivers, It's racing, it sucks but it happens. Quite often engineers can put too much reliance on data and calculations etc and not just take a step back and think in layman terms about a situation. When you have so much information from various sources coming at you at once, in a split second, high pressure moment it can cause a lot of confusion. Sounds like it might have been the case here.

God, Lewis really does get dramatic and sulky when things don't go his way eh? The parked car and radio yelling match at Portier, the excruciatingly drive back to the podium, slow motion getting out of the car and then his expression and antics to intentionally snub anything to do with the podium. Very subtle Lewis, nice!

Is that what happened at Portier? I don't think Sky picked up on it.

He just stopped, probably crying/screaming/yelling at his team on the radio, to release the pressure, and not be "too much angry" for the podium.
Nothing more.

I think Hamilton considered going to his appartment at Portier (~Senna)

@MercedesAMGF1

The patronising of Hamilton by Sky is really quite something.

Yes the team made a huge blunder, but they react like Rosberg isn't even in the team. And Hamilton acts like a spoiled kid who didn't get an ice cream. Showing your emotions is not acting like a 12-year old. Sure, he is the best out there, but act like a god damn man.

Can you imagine if journo's were attacking a driver for making a mistake and ruining the race the same way they are here towards the team? It's so over the top and ridiculous currently. Kravitz needs a cup of calm the fuck down.

too much strategy in this Sport -

so both are to blame and Hamilton should not had stopped, wasn't he aware that nobody could pass him?

Nah Hamilton doesn't deserve any blame, he wasn't to know the situation of the others cars and the gaps etc. He's fine to ask the question and it's the teams job to decide if it's plausible and in this situation they got it wrong unfortunately.

Jeez. We complain when drivers don't show their emotions and call them robotic. Yet when a driver does want we ask for, he's called whiny, sulky and a bitch.[/TBKLogic]

Please keep it up, it's hilarious.

To be fair, everyone would prefer a punch up.
