    To perform some simple common sense tests. When theres nothing to gain and everything to lose, don't do it! That would be a good start, that and basic maths as Toto puts it <laugh>

    That's the whole thing in a nutshell. Gambled on a potential net gain of sod all. It's almost like they panicked.

    I guess everyone likes to ignore the radio transmission and Hamilton complaining, and his history of whining to the press at any mistake they make that cost him points. Mercedes are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
    But I can now see why the contract took so long, getting the 'blame and apology clause' wording right must have taken some time.

    .....the more I think about it the more laughable it becomes!

    Radio Transmission (Sample 1)

    Lewis: er guys my tyres are shot, and if Nico and Vettle pit I don't think I can hold them off on the option!
    Merc: Negative Lewis we are not pitting Nico, and even if Vettle does we will have track position! Race to the end mate, this ones in the bag!

    Radio Transmission (Sample 2)

    Merc: Lewis, how are the tyres?
    Lewis: Not great (typical driver moan), probably be abit iffy if the guys behind pit and go to the options.
    Merc: We think Vettle will pit so we are going to cover him, box this lap.
    Lewis: Are you pitting Nico
    Merc: Negative Lewis, but we think we can get you out in front of him.
    Lewis: **** that right off!

    It took so long to get the contact sorted out because Hamilton was off captaining a Somali pirate ship. There's just no end to his skulduggery!

    Everything I've accused him of has been documented, lies to stewards and blamed team for words he uttered to escape punishment, lied to Fia over data he had seen,and lied to everyone and disguised himself so he could slyly sneak off to take part in illegal tests.
    I don't need to make up stories of 'somali pirates', he's already done enough to show his true colours.

    considering the amount of poison sprayed at Vettel for far less, all it shows is how sucked into the personality cult most are.

    And then we get respectful and decent drivers like Nico scorned in the press for a few driving errors. Ridiculous Miggins.

    Vettel... he's so oppressed isn't he? People are just totally incapable of discussing anything about him in an unbias nature. I put it down to WWII pepersonally. Stupid English folk just can't get past it... worse than the bloody Scotts. (I can make that dig btw... part Scottish). :p

    Will Buxton's interview with Toto Wolff was pretty funny when Toto was going on about data available, then Will suggested some common sense might be more important than data. :)

    I heard that Vettel is just Hamilton in a disguise. Makes there results all the more impressive! A Vetilton fanboy me. One day his joint personalities will combine to Saint Senna standards <ok>

    If it weren't for Vettel being the spawn of an holocaustic nation and Hamilton being Black... we'd all get along so much better. The only solution is to wipe them both out. SPLITTERS!

    Lets just fast forward to Bottas vs. Verstappen vs. Vandoorne vs. Hulkenberg vs. Sainz.

    You guys get NASCAR over there? The Coca Cola 600 is about to kick off. Third big race of the day... Hope it's better than the first two.
