    Apparently, Rosberg obeying team orders is Hamilton's fault.

    You are just selecting the information you want to. Nobody is disputing that the team ****ed up, but somewhere in there Lewis felt the need or ability to pit! It's quite simple, there is no need to twist and direct people quotes to support your own view - try and be a little more neutral when analaysing things.

    No, it's Nico's fault - he should have ignored them.

    Well if he did... it's still a stupid call. Doesn't change anything.

    He would only feel the need to pit if they other had pitted...did they pit? And who would have had the info to hand that they didn't pit? And the car that won did he pit? So wouldn't the Mercedes team know that their second car in the race didn't pit? Well if so then, they all should just resign pack up and go home.
    Being neutral doesn't mean devoiding yourself of all reason and commonsense

    If we're all honest its Hamiltons fault that the safety car came out in the first place. What else, Alonso's retirement? Maybe he can share that blame with Whitmash <ok>

    maybe the mercedes pit-wall are tired of watching him being interviewed saying "my team cost me the race today" when their calls are slightly awry, so that now, when he over-rules them they let him. Then they can listen to him saying "we lost as a team"

    On a completely different subject.
    Well done McLaren (finally)
    Well done Jenson
    And wtf Alonso penalty, but none for Ricciardo, which was worse imo.

    Better a comedian than a love-struck fool

    Apparently Verstappen has been watching highlights of Hamilton's 2011 season on YouTube. So you chalk that one up too.

    I really don't think anyone is suggesting it's his fault, he was clearly the race winner today but for the balls up. Merc were worried what Ferrari might do and Lewis probably just overthought the situation - regardless the team had the full facts and they ballsed up.

    I thought Hamilton was going to do a Senna and bugger off to his flat for a good cry.

    What I don't get is how on earth did Merc agree that a Lewis pit stop was a good idea? I can't believe that Merc have a single person who makes the pit call. Therefore the idea to pit must have been agreed between 2 or more people.

    Just an unbelievable silly call.

    Well done to McHonda and Jensen hope they keep getting better.

    No.. He had the cry when he stopped out on track.. They said he was gathering his thoughts before he come in and knocked over his 3 place stop sign. I think he was crying and wondering which curse words to use and he decided to take it out on the sign instead.
