Are you DJ's Lewis-loving-alter-ego? :D

My Podium

1.Toto Wolff for seeming to suggest it was Hamilton's fault! WTF!
I've never trusted that guy, and he has the most appropriate surname going.

2.Stewards

3.Williams - Scored no points while McLaren did. Thanks for doing a McLaren on me in FGP guys!


I will let Verstappen off as this is the first foot he's put wrong I can see, while Sato and Maldonado have been allowed to stick around for years.

I haven't seen dj for a while come to think of it. Wonder if he's ok and that. I miss his fights with Garry Walker - pure popcorn material :D

Daniel R. and the stewards, he deserved a punishment for that move on Kimi.

There can be only donkey this race - Mercedes. What a monumental fuck up!

Maldonado doesn't get the donkey award for once.

Imagine if they were the same guy just arguing amongst himself :rotflmao:

Inexplicable, and completely irrational move by Mercedes. This is much more of a travesty than what happened in last years race. What in the freakin' $#^%$%^^ was Hamilton's engineer thinking?
As for the penalties; in the end it didn't make any difference for Fred, but it did for Kimi, I wonder which race the stewards were actually watching. Fred bumps a car in a clusterf*** that is the first turn at Monaco, and Danny boy did the same thing only more egregiously (further back) and gets a free pass? I guess it was because Fred's contact caused an accident and Danny's didn't, go figure?? :confused:

I am flabbergasted at Mercedes. EVEN I know, as an armchair fan, that Monaco is about track position, not tyres. Especially in a car as dominant as the Merc and especially with only ten laps remaining. Who did they think was going to overtake Lewis once the safety car pulled in? Is it possible this is an error? This will screw with Lewis' mind imo. He will be thinking the last two Monaco GPs should have been mine mine mine and I've been cheated. Can he overcome this like last year or will he implode I wonder?
