Donkey of the Race UAE
Personally I think it was Mercedes. To honestly believe that all drivers would except winning that race by 10 seconds when the title slips away is nonsense.
They try and control everything these days after saying the would let them race. Dont get me wrong. I know why they worried, because they had a win on the cards, but they come out afterwards saying we need to speak to Lewis and find out if he had a problem slowing him down?????
I mean come on. Treating people like idiots. They wanted the 1-2 but they cant be surprised that Lewis did what he did. Most drivers would do similar. Albeit not as many would have the guts to go against the team for their championship.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

The only thing at the GP that looked more out of place than Mercedes strategy was Paris Hilton looking gormless in the Ferrari pit.

Mercedes for trying to stop Hamilton fighting for the championship. They need to realise fans don't want to see fake results and drivers employing clever tactics is what makes the racing exciting, especially when it's a one team domination.

Lewis Hamilton. People complain about Vettel but this guy "I'm in front, I see nothing wrong". "I'm not going to be hailed and fawned over so who cares."
What a chode." Lady - I'm in an awful dilemma.
Moe - Yeah, I never cared much for these foreign cars either."

^^ haha... I write that with a rather smug look on my face.
It's nice to see a driver like Lewis be recognised as the better driver but whined about for his tactics. Excellent stuff and very positive going into the winter break.

Racing is about being the fast driver/rider. Racing/Rally/etc is not about intentionally slowing down (in the way Ham did) to try get an advantage.
Ok if the track/road conditions are really bad but that wasn't the case today.
I have seen this several times before in other motorsport branches like WRC and speedway where the leader intentionally slowed down or even stopping to gain advantages.
That kind of stuff has no place in motorsport and should be considered unsportsmanlike conduct that should be connected to subsequent penalties should anyone try it again....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...
