Pleading to be alowed to quit and sulk is unbecoming for someone at the tip of the sport.
Rosberg telegraphed his intentions before the race that he wasn't going to be suckered into the yield or crash thing (a la Bahrain) and the Hamilton apologists are all surprised that he did what he said he would. I have tried to like Hamilton but I just cant. Undoubtedly a gifted race driver, a natural if you will. But this implies that he is instinctive so when his brain enters the equation then much angst ensues. I can't wait until he leaves F1. The world will be better for it.
This post isn't simply flame-bait. I have read a lot on the internets from many sources regarding this incident and I see a pattern is forming. Ask Alonzo, Button and now Rosberg.
