Donkey of the Race UAE

It was a little like going through the motions , giving the instruction , but consider the fact that the Merc is well-known to have trouble in dirty air .
Both the Red car and especially the Bull car don't , and weren't far behind .
The red car had a frustrated , mouthy German who had just been out-qualified over the course of the year by some old Finn .
That Bull car behind him had a crazy little Dutch boy who will find grip anywhere , and isn't afraid to try fun , new ideas for overtaking .

Sure , it's easy to say he'd get away without a scratch , but Lewis did as much as he thought he could get away with , and it was a masterful drive , in that respect .

They warned him that he needed to speed up .
He told them he knew what he was doing .

Perhaps if he had started backing him up a few laps earlier , he might have had more chance to make something happen behind , but it was a good try regardless .

Something I didn't like hearing , was the eventual WDC whining about the situation over the radio . Gladly , there wasn't too much of it .

I think it is all a storm in a tea cup really. Hamilton just wanted to make Nico sweat really, just make it a little difficult but not difficult enough for him to lose a place. Because he pulled him out of trouble by giving him a tow when it seemed he was going to get into trouble from behind. Vettel said he could not pass Rosberg because Hamilton was at a distance to give Nico a tow which made it hard for him to mount an attack.

If Hamilton really wanted to make the overtake happen, he would have slowed considerably at the corners to really bunch up the cars on the entry to the corner, which would have really given Vettel or possibly Verstapenn a real chance to attack Rosberg.

Hamilton slowed down just enough to make Rosberg and the Mercedes pitwall nervous, just to make a point.
