WTF Magnussen?? nice.. Where is that guy on forum that keeps saying that Haas is moving away
Not the first time haas blatanly blocks the ferrari. remember germany
Yes. But there is a guy on forum that keeps saying that Sauber/Haas are moving immediately out of the way for Ferrari. That Hamilton needs to fight with guys like Force India or so... (forgetting Monaco obviously)
All customer teams do it. I think it’s more the driver in question TBH.

Yeah because it hasn't happened in the past.
for 3 points, and certainly not for race victory. entirely different.
But in a more crucial situation, not 40 points ahead.
Anyway, here's your answer right from mercedes themselves :lol: :lol: How's your moral high ground going now?

Bottas is paying the price for not pressing the loud pedal harder in the preceding races. If you make yourself a wingman then don’t complain when the team see you as one.

I'm still baffled by the stupid call from RBR. Only thing I can imagine is that they needed to do brutal fuel safeing (why the f cuk do we not see fuel usage anymore in TV?) at the end of the race. Yes, driver of the day pretty sure, but lame nontheless.

Yeah that wasn't necessary. I don't approve.

Guess that's it for the WDC. Vettel 50 points down, no chance. Terrible race only position change at the front thanks to team orders. Poor Bottas sacrificed for 10 points more instead of 3.

Show me some examples of haas jumping out the way the way you're saying they are. There's a million examples of FI actually doing that and even going as far as admitting they're not allowed to race mercedes in monaco of all places.

Bottas deserved this one. Those 7 points werent worth it. Very disappointing.
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

Hamilton's not over the moon either, this move only boosted Toto's ego. Merc fanboys should remember Austria - that's difference between Ferrari and Mercedes.
