Donkey of the Race UAE

[Nitrodaze]

Well I think most of us all agree the Donkey was Toto and Mercedes
Who have now decided there will be no harsh words spoken to Hamilton over him slowing in the race to enable others to pass Rosberg ,which would have helped Hamiltons Championship
Amen
Lets put this thread to bed
And my post above meant ,should we really call "The Post" Donkey of the race ?
Can we all have a sense of humour ,and not rev up on others when they misunderstand what the poster really means

Fair comment buddy. It was all light conversation as far as l was concerned. No hard feeling, just jist.

I purposely stayed off this forum for a while to let sanity prevail and I'm glad that mercedes have issued a mea culpa.
The amount of vitriol i read towards Hamilton about the incident, including the likes of Prost, Stewart, and on other forums was kinda ridiculous.
I would hope that mercedes have learned from this, but i fear as long as paddy lowe and toto wolff are sitting at race control on race day, they will always try to interfere with each side of the garage and orchestrate an outcome they (foolishly and in short sight) think the team requires. We shall see

I saved the tin foil myself, as I don't find those hats comfortable at all.

As much as people like the conspiracy theories, nobody knows for sure the motivations behind the team orders. To me it makes complete sense to preserve both cars even if one of their two drivers would remain WDC. And in that sense alone, Lewis backing Nico up into the mix did allow for more potential for carnage of some really expensive equipment.

I'd have to think that finishing the last race with a 1-2 finish and preserving both cars would be the greater priority for the team. As for all the talk about sacking Lewis and such, I think any team has to realize that if they start sucking the fight out of their drivers it will at some point come back to bite them. I'm glad they seem to see that now.
