Dumb by Ericsson, I know Nasr wasn't letting him past but come on wtf was he trying to do?

Oh wtf Sauber, did Nasr not move over as instructed?

Jay

No, but as they are fighting for last place there was no need to stoke the fire instructing a pass anyway.

More lap calculations.

Time for 27.5 laps....

We need 27 laps...

As it should be based on the last race. Consistency

Rosberg didn't leave room, pushed Ham off track and ended both their races, Hamilton left room, didn't cause contact and ended no ones races. No penalty for both isn't a sign of consistency at all.

Clearly, can't even explain his point.

Because he doesn't have one.

He's stopped calling it Bornaco though, while still sitting and watching every lap.

This could end in tears.

Is it just Monaco or do the Mercedes not have a performance advantage anymore?

ThestigGT999 · 29 May 2016 at 14:25

Hamilton went offline to gain an advantage then positioned himself to try to take him out

Flibster · 29 May 2016 at 14:25

Hamilton trying to do a Senna vs Mansell in '92?

Oh he was last? Didn't realise, too wrapped up in the front end action.

Hamilton needs this for the championship.

In Monaco and Singapore, Merc cant seem to get the down force right, its like they troll the other guys being and seeming small, then they get onto a proper track and they tear off into the distance.

There advantage is the engine. That is nullified here. The RBR chassis is making up for more.

And yet didn't, so it is a non issue and all in your mind.

of course he did.

So... That'll be a hollow victory if sham finishes first?
I don't see why Ricciardo doesn't just straight line that corner to pass. The stewards clearly aren't interested today!

Edit: Sorry to the Hamilton fanatics on here, but you know if Rosberg had done that, you'd be foaming at the mouth.

Flibster · 29 May 2016 at 14:27

I'm wondering if Hamilton is overworking the tyres?
They're slow to come up to temperature, ok for a lap or two, then slower again...

Tyre temps going over the ideal?

Last but one, but yeah.

Pointless really.

Hamilton did not close the door, he stayed on line, watch the replay.
