Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

😂😂😂 Yeah it was different, mostly funny stuff and banter but they did admit they didn't have a good setup and all that.

One of the things I like about the Mercedes team is their public engagement - the post race pitwall thingy that they normally do explaining things and answering fan questions. Also, as in this case, they obviously don't take themselves too seriously - although it's obviously easier to be a bit flippant when you're winning.

Be nice to see other teams doing this sort of thing.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

For sure. Their social media department is absolutely top notch, too.

Toto got a lot of criticism in 2014 for the departure of Ross Brawn and how they handled Rosberg and Hamilton during those few seasons, but i just wanted to say i have become a big fan of Toto and the Mercedes team. Both are interlinked and i could see myself rooting for them even if my favorite driver nolonger drives for them.

It's just a one-off as the team had to travel straight from Austin to Mexico City. Considering they're one of the most giving/transparent teams on the grid with respect to fan interaction and answering questions, I'll give them a pass.

He was just ranting in German “that it should be pronounced Sebastian Vellel because his name is Sebastian Vettel for **** sake and that he [Germans] doesnt go and pronounce Leeevis Hamilton [in a German way] either”

:D

Ah okay I thought I might have missed something. Loved how he roasted poor James with FETTEL! 😂 but an equally funny roast back with "How come none of your shots are in focus?" 😂😂😂
