Nico said, that they did't have any Telemetry data from his car while race of China, and he had to tell them his Fuel info almost any round ...

But how could the FIA display the Fuel Consumption of Nico's car?

Two telemetry systems. The team telemetry was down, FIA's was working. Bo77as had both systems go down and that could be seen by the FIA feed saying 0% fuel consumed for his car during race.

I don't think he was emulating Vettel, he was just doing as most drivers do. Give the badge a pat, and say thanks. There's no way Lewis had Vettel in his mind when doing this.

I don't think Lewis takes note of trivial things like this but recently he did say something that implied he wanted to demoralize Vettel the way he demoralized him and the rest of the field, can't find an article on it but it was quite recent.

Proof or source or GTFO. I know for a fact that you just made that up.

Anyone got any thought on how the Spanish crowd would react if Lewis won there? They haven't been the most welcoming of crowds to him and I remember people cheering when his tire exploded in 2010.

Old news in my opinion, him and Fernando respect each other a lot more now compared to the years in which there was some conflict. Remember Fernando had more of an issue with Ron Dennis than Lewis anyway (Other than the Hungary qualifying incident).

Don't think the Spanish crowd would be as harsh as they were many years ago. Remember he did get pole here in 2012 (Although got sent to the back of the grid for having no fuel) but even if he won then, you can visibly see the attitude of fans in F1 have changed their opinion in the way they treat him to when he first came into F1.

Yeah, The Spanish and British fans have a mutual enemy now in Red Bull. So I feel both sets of fans would rather see a Silver or Red car win instead of Red Bull.

Very true as far as the respect between those two, sometimes it makes me think that they could be teammates again but that's obviously very far from likely.

Does anyone who the Mercedes test/development/simulator drivers are this year? Last year we had Sam Bird, Brandon Hartley and Davidson (Kubica).
