    Has to go to Merc for blatantly fixing an ¨ electronic problem¨. Yeah, sure all our multi-million buck cars break catastrophically by being stationary over night.

    Yeah, its a fix, Nicos car was obviously tampered with last night. Ze Germans obviously want their Brit driver to win the WDC. Hmmm...

    Donkey Merc for no DRS , and no clutch , and two gears at a time , and no hybrid power , and a big ol' bag of neutrals at the end .
    We could have seen a good battle throughout , not just at the end .

    Good job to Lewis for , after all the smiles from everyone , remembering to mention that they would have preferred a one-two .

    Thing is. Lewis must win. Merc team is anwerable to Merc board of directors, which includes trade union representatives. They are going to ask uncomfortable questions about hiring Lewis for a bazillian bucks when Nico can do the job for half the money.

    Sauber for having 2 cars retired in the race. Williams for their over optimistic strategy on Bottas. Vergne for getting 2 penalties in a race. Honorary mention for Kimi sleeping behind Bottas

    The thing is, the board of directors probably won't believe in any crazy conspiracy theories. They should probably be more concerned as to why both cars have had reliability problems, especially considering they could lose pace and still be the fastest cars on track.
