    I actually want him to have another car failure, listening to the Hamilton fans on Twatter was hilarious!

    Possible, but I don't see that happening (if at all) straight away, will need a bit more in-car time..
    But.. If he was to give Danny Ric and damn good beating, then fair play!

    I think you thought I was talking about Hamilton. Don't worry I am not that sinister. When I stated "takes it all" I was referring to the race winner.

    And then tell the fans to stop with the conspiracy theories and that he has 2000% trust in the team?

    I see hamilton's been told to shut up by mercedes and is now pretending the rubbish mechanics (as he called them) are the best ever 1000% confidence in them and his glass is half full.

    Its very funny when he chucks his toys out of the pram them gets scolded and told what to say.

    yeah, poor Nico, he'd had his current mechanics 2 years ago he would've been 2xWDC, at least that's the way I like to contextualize Hamiltons words.

    The question is; why did they change? I can;t see any logical reason, unless one group wanted to move, maybe they were sick of working with one of the drivers?

    Yeah, having spent two years working for someone who kept finishing second they wanted to go across the garage to a winner. That's what you meant, right?

    And yet when he churns out the corporate bollocks everyone calls him boring, robot, no personality etc etc. Shows some emotion, he becomes ungrateful, a whinger, blamer baby etc etc.

    Haters will always hate. He ain't perfect, but would you rather have 22 Rosberg's on the grid? How dull would that be?

    Terribly.

    But it's simply fact. He came out with every whine due to his car and imo in a team you start on about your mechanics you deserve a slapping down.

    If he slagged off the team he needs to be reminded who pays his wages, but he's a winner and expects the best. If it's not delivered he's going to get hacked off and it will vent over. He should be reminded that his starts haven't been great though and some of his races issues have been contributed as much by himself as by the team putting him back in the pack because of car issues. Would say so far this year its 50% Hamilton and 50% team issues that have been the problem.

    It's funny though because NICO had some terrible reliability luck and now Hamilton is getting it. This team of engineers are really shoddy I can't blame either driver for not wanting them

    If the whole story of them swapping mechanics is true, why aren't quality control at Mercedes looking at it, as if they hadn't though to look at it over the last 2 years when Rosberg was having more car issues than Hamilton? All seems very odd to have one set of chaps being ultra-good, and then hiring Ben, Jim, Bob and Steve from Kwik-Fit to sort out the other car.

    I believe Schumi had the same incompetent engineers in 2012.

    well it's either that, which means Nico would be gunning for his 3rd in a row if he'd had that side of the garage from the start, or they dislike one of the drivers. How would you feel if you'd spent all night replacing a faulty part that you had no part in manufactiring, only to hear the person you were doing it for, publicly to 100's of millions of people, blame you for his failure.

    err, hadn't they already swapped mechanics before this happened? Think your argument is therefore invalid.

    also, a slight whiff of hypocrisy from the person who thought it fine for Red Bull to slag off the people who gave them success every time something went wrong. That was okay though, wasn't it?

    Renault were paid over 100m and, after 18 months, it was still ****, I'd ****ing moan. Hamilton hasnt paid his garage a penny, nor have any of them done a bad job, if they had they wouln't be dominating the sport. Hamilton, on the other hand, has ****ed up 4 out of 4 starts, but doean't mention that as a reason he's behind,. No, it's his garage. Egotistical ****er.
