Lewis is black???? I just thought he was blind!!! ;)

I'm amazed at all the venomous comments towards Rosberg for driving in the back of another driver. It's a car race for goodness sake, people mess up.

WTF? :confused:

I'm nominating Lewis because he screwed up an elementary procedure when the race was his for the taking, not because of ANY other factor.

I'm also nominating Nico for doing the same thing - any comments to make about his ethnic origin or am I allowed to say Rosberg?

Unbelievable.

bourdais... because I'm not a racist.

Hamilton.

For a change I was in awe of him after his amazing pole lap on saturday where he locked up at the hairpin but still managed to improve his time!

But yesterday was hilarious.

Ron Dennis saying "its difficult for drivers to look at other cars or lights at the same time" is even more hilarious.
They are in F1 for *** sake.
If they can't look at these things and judge it, they should be driving taxis.

ps : Racism has nothing to do with my dislike of Hamilton..I am black or brown if you prefer :)

He was in a clear lead before the safety car appeared. Huh, you are surprised that Kimi caught him behind the SC, so they entered the pits very close to each other? And the order of leaving the pits was very much down to pitcrew work, not any driver's speed. I think without safety car sessions Hamilton's win would have been very probable.

jens the point is, sure he was quick earlier and leading but at the time he crashed out he would have been 3rd correct?

Not really clear that he would have won the race from that position "easily"

Stop trying to live vicariously through Lewis Hamilton. Some of the anger directed at him is pathetic to read.

Sure, he stuffed up and he's certainly worthy of the donkey of the race title, but I don't see how the phrase "I apologize if I cost him the race" isn't an apology. Since he certainly stuffed Kimi's race, that statement is an apology. Admittedly it's not a very good one, but he should be saving that sort of stuff for Kimi, not for the legions of people waiting to pounce on his every word and punish him for not being a bland PR focused driver.

Edit: I should add that this isn't focused on any one person in particular.
