Button going backwards

This is now going to end with Rosberg at least 26 points ahead of Lewis.

No his car is a fantastic over-taker, because of the speed advantage you mention. Him personally is not
After 5-10 laps working up to it.

At this point with not much chance of rain I have no idea why Hamilton is out there. He's losing time to Sutil.... SUTIL. Even if it rained Hamilton has a horrible car with lacking downforce. A safety car won't help Hamilton. Save the engine ffs.
If he's struggling against Sutil and not increasing the gap to Grosjean, what is the point, hurting the engine when the body work is maknig the car no where near fast enough.
Hell, he just dropped about a second in one lap to Sutil.
EDIT:- AS i posted they show radio message. Safety car won't help them though, he's losing time to Sutil because the car is damaged, if there is a safety car he will lose time again, he won't be able to pass. If you are slow through the turns into that main DRS straight you will lose loads of speed, a safety car is supremely unlikely to help him at all.

That's the joke..

Not sure why they haven't pitted Riciardo to force Rosberg to have to overtake him on track.
EDIT: They must have been listening.

Cause he is being paid to race.

When he gets pole in the double points race then has a 10 grid penalty because he needed a new engine............. and loses the title, that will be great won't it. You're talking about saving an engine maybe gaining you 25 points later in the year, today he's hurting the engine to maybe get 1 point if extremely lucky with like a 1% chance for that to happen because his car is so damaged. Again, his car is damaged to the point that Sutil in a woeful car is pulling away from him.

Stuck a minute behind without the pace to do anything isn't racing, it's burning up engine and box miles.
LOL so what? Imagine the rest of the grid stopped racing when they were off the pace......
LOL nice crystal ball, he has no engine issues.

Good work Bottas (albeit DRS assisted)

Man if Rosberg wins this race, it'll be the biggest case of injustice I ever did see
