Donkey of the Race UAE

[Nitrodaze]

Merc doesn't deserve any hassle for telling Hamilton he needed to be faster . They were obligated to do so .
As a team , they acted to secure the best result they could , and to do otherwise was to be unfair to one driver .

To add to the idea , it should be understood that they actually had financial incentive to get fewer points in this race , as the entry fee is calculated partially on them , so to have encouraged the move would possibly have resulted in it being seen as a very cynical , and not very sporting idea .

They didn't want to , but they had to .

Looking back now , they told him not to try it early in the race , as they'd have pit strategy to counter it .
But , I think they expected it near the end , as Lewis had no other choice .

If they don't accept a "sorry , but I had no choice" , and actually sanction him , then perhaps they deserve a donkey .

Bagwan, c'mon, save it for something you really care about.

The merc management kind of like to micro-manage things abit. I think they would be much happier with a pair of Androids driving the cars. With the constructor's championship in the bag, Mercedes had nothing to lose if both cars did not win the race. It would not affect prize money or corporate pride or anything worth talking about.

They behaved just as poorly as Hamilton's response to it. It was a real disappointment to hear Paddy get on the Radio to say what he said. Very disappointing!
