Anyway, it's good to have some controversy back in the thread. Aqualung basically hasn't been able to post for 3 months because his hate-crush has been stomping the races.

As an unabashed Lewis fan I will be here to graciously accept your mumbled excuses when Hamilton reigns WDCx2!

Hahaha the Sky guys are trying to imply that Mercedes should have given Hamilton the preferential strategy even though he was the second car on the track.

And the first car in the WDC. But if they'd brought Rosberg in first Lewis would possibly have ended up ahead after the SC anyway.

No, Toto just confirmed to the Sky guys that Nico would have been brought in first regardless, and if he'd come in anyway they wouldn't have given him the tires.

Not surprising considering last year most of us thought their driver lineup for 2014 was going to be a Russian school boy and Esteban Guttierez. That they have any points is a small miracle if you ask me.

Should they have given the preferential strategy to Rosberg for every race before this one even though he was second on track?

I'm a giant Hamilton fan and I found his ranting on track kind of embarasing. Although he will probably take ownership of it afterwards. Remember in 2009 when he got caught bitching out his crew over poor pit strategy when he was asked 2 weeks later if he would do it again he basically said "oh poo poo yeah"

So if you're expecting an apology...

That's just British Sport Fans (TM) jerking each other off in this thread.

All of Vettel's whining since he first showed up in F1 is nothing compared to a good 'ol week of sticking a microphone in front of Hamilton.

loving this 100%. poo poo always seems to stick to Kraut drivers though. BBC/Sky wouldnt even finish saying Schumacher's name before bringing up Jerez 97, Adelaide 94 and Monaco 06. Vettel has a little whinge at his mechanics and he's forever a whiner or a 'crash kid'. How often do we hear about Hamilton lying to the stewards in Australia 09 these days though?

Hamilton has 4 wins and a 2nd to his name in six races and all we ever seem to hear is him spitting abuse at his engineer and looking awkward and unhappy on the podium. Rosberg kept his poo poo together when Hamilton was on the top step, Hammy should be expected to do the same. Hell he walked away as Ricciardo was still giving his podium interview. Lewis I know you don't care about him, but thats straight up disrespectful!

Wow I felt sorry for Nico then. Sky asked him if he is still friends with Lewis, Nico look amused and said 'yes of course, we have known each other for years' then Sky said to him that Lewis said he isn't friends with you anymore and Nico look genuinely hurt and distracted for the rest of the interview.

They don't, Sutil and Ericsson each have an 11th now--but Gutierrez has a 12th to Kamui's best of 13th, so actually Sauber is still ahead of Caterham. :doh:

If the driver in question is 'your guy,' you'll invariably point out that if he didn't whine/moan/'cheat' he wouldn't be a champion because he has a loser/No. 2 driver mentality. But the other guy? Infantile twat and a lesser man. Ironically that leads to people going on about the slightest things knowing full well that all of the top guys are cunts of the highest order in some manner. Did Lewis smile enough in the winners photo? I've done the measurements and his smile was a few millimeters wider after Spain, that petulant baby needs to cool his emotions! It's great entertainment in the moment, but I find all the moralizing that goes on after to be a bit tired. Nobody will remember any of this nonsense by Canada.

Didn't some one near the end of the Sky broadcast say that Lewis complained about Nico because he was playing with a football and it was making too much noise. He isn't a whiny baby he is a mean old git that gets cranky over those dam kids. also im sure I heard Brundle say something about a car clearing its throat and how come it wasn't considered traction control, but missed what car he was referring to.
