It was the same on both cars, Lewis had the same issues, just that he drove around it better than Nico did on this occasion

My view is that Ricciardo should've cracked a smile and Hamilton should not have been carrying on like Bieber's bitch during the national anthems but that's just me...

Seb got screwed five times in 2014:

- cracked chassis in Bahrain
- stolen win in Canada
- RIC got entire Bahrain test
- Cracked chassis again in Spa
- Fucked up strat in Monza

I think Mr. RIC will end up to find this season thoroughly unsatisfactory because Mr. Marko has found a new favourite boy. even if he has a habit of piling into Armcos.

He needs to remember that .

He still got second at Monaco , and where was his team mate ?

He should still be able to get a smile out .

His team righteously screwed him, he has every right to be pissed off. Nobody remembers 2nd place.

Did they do this to Hamilton's brake ducts as well ?
If not , there's your conspiracy theory start-up right there .

Why should a driver crack a smile when they aren't happy? I'd much rather drivers not be robots than ply the PR game. Be human and show it is what I say!

He said otherwise on Sky sports and clearly stated both drivers had the same issue but affected Rosberg more I.e he couldn't handle it

Nope. Only on Rosberg's car and Toto as awfully uncomfortable because the Austrians hate Hamilton. But then, Austrians hate everyone who isnt Aryan enough...

Welcome to Mercedes PR tactics. Their statements on German speaking TV (RTL, ORF) are usually widely different from what they say on Sky. The reason is simple. They have to cater to Sky's pathological Hamilton fetish and the German speaking media are by default pro-Rosberg.

That's kind of what I saw as well .

This was combined though , with a squeeze outside , whilst Daniel had more of his front wing alongside than Hamilton did in the last race where he and Nico came together .
Daniel backed out , even though he was farther along side .

When that happens just after missing the chicane , it's hard to understand why he wasn't penalized , given last race's reasoning .
