It was the signalling system in the Merc pit that let Lewis down after he was dropped from the jacks , according to TJ13 .


No hanging offences here .
Just dead bad luck .

Fate smacked him hard , but he's still leading , and he still got third .



As for his sulky stopping at the tunnel entrance , and his slow parking and knocking of the third sign , and his no champagne spray , I see him as still pretty fragile , in a time where until now he's been showing a reasonably serene , "in control" demeanor .

He had to know Rosberg knew he was lucky , and if he'd been listening closely , he would have exactly those words from his team-mate .
I would have been happier to see him declare how desperately stupid lucky Nico was , and that he'd better not expect that kind of gift again .

I'd rather see a declaration of the fight rather than a pout about the last battle .
