On a normal circuit Lewis would have passed Nico early and caught up with DR and probably would have passed him too.

I know, I'm shocked by that there has to be something more wrong with Nico's car than just the brakes.
The driver maybe ?
No please, stop it, just stop. Lets not be fanatics and think only a second before we write the first stupid thing, right?

Riccardo must be feeling the same Hamilton felt in 2015. Both incidents are about the same.

A hamilton win vindicates team orders to move Rosberg aside. I'm not in favour of team orders just to move the faster driver up a position.

Do you really think Rosberg is 'that' slow as compared to Hamilton?

Oh I think in the last few races you can see they have strong pace, it's a good race car and at both races they were on the pace right up until quali and then got slower - so it's not that the car is not fast, it's that they're having real trouble setting up the car to manage the tyres over a single lap.

I think they'll get that sooner rather than later and when they do we'll see it's fundamentally a good car.

On this day, yes. The team would surely have saved his blushes if there was a car issue.

Tin foil hat ...

But great to see Hamilton got some luck, and also a great great drive from him. =D>

Logically you might be right. But honestly Ricciardo has been faultless all season. He got screwed by Pirelli in China, by Kvyat in Russia, by strategy and Pirelli in Spain, and now by a massive blunder by Red Bull in Monaco. He is rightfully gutted. I really feel for him.. :(

In this circuit and the conditions he was slow. The lap after Lewis passed Nico, Lewis was 5 sec fast!!

Hamilton should have gotten a penalty for trackcutting.
