I have to agree however I could never stand him due to his entitled brat attitude - then he went thru a couple of tough years at Maclaren and I was actually starting to respect him ... Looks like the entitled brat attitude has resurfaced again. :(

His comments today regarding strategy at Merc vs. his time at McLaren were embarrassing to say the least. As a mature race driver he knows better. After going on and on to the press on how much of a positive change its been to develop with Merc he throws them under the bus at the first sign of perceived favoritism towards Nico. Ugh. I like Lewis, but days like today definitely make me question his mental state. Or maybe its just Nicole. :?
Well, wasn't Hamilton himself in the press conference who essentially managed to get McLaren investigated for team orders in Monaco 2007?
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

When you question a mans hunger.... you just might open up his appetite. If Hamilton would have kept to himself and shown what he has on the track, he could have outclassed Nico, but telling him that he is a brat from a rich family and that he was hungrier was a big mistake.... It's like walking on to a ring, knowing your opponent has a weak uppercut and opens up for you to attach and telling him that you are going to exploit that... Nico gave Hamilton a KO of humility.

If anything it's Hamilton giving himself that KO. There really is no need though, so Nico won a race it's no big deal, had to happen sooner or later. I wish Lewis could learn to practise what his father preached and do his talking on the track, I'm getting flashbacks of 2011 and I really don't want him to go there again.

My guess is that Hamilton was a bit over self-confident due to his excellent 4 wins in a row..
This race will place him firmly with his two feet on the ground and he will bounce back from it, if he really is that good.

One thing he needs to learn quickly is that he is free to think what ever he wants, but he should not say everything he thinks..

Canada up next, Nico will have his work cut out to beat Lewis there. Lewis has always done well round canada.

So far Bianchi wins every Driver of the day poll for Monaco, including ours - http://www.f1technical.net/poll/index.php?dispid=274

In the meantime, with a bit of delay and reminded by tim|away, I'm running a " Was Nico Rosberg's mistake in Q3 deliberate or genuine?" - http://www.f1technical.net/poll/index.php?dispid=275

My take on it - we will never know. The shadows of doubt will remain, however. There are slight hints, looking at his earlier trajectory that he might have lost it and should have backed off. But on the other hand, most F1 figures think it was a class-actor performance and was deliberate.

Oh oh he made a comment about the strategy, yeah now he is doomed the rest of the season. We will see in Canada how Nico deals with it, I think not so good.
