So what? He wants and needs to win. As long as its within the rules who cares?

The stuff you see here is nothing compared to some other racing disciplines.

He's just lucky he didn't get himself taken out like Rosberg last week. Just because he got lucky doesn't make it less dumb of a move.

 

[Humidex]

But why is Ros 6th?

Brake issues earlier, wasn't it?

 

[Par Score]

I'm sure the same people thinking Hamilton should have got a penalty this race also think Rosberg should have got one last race, right?

I'm sure none of those people would suggest that both last race's incident and this race's are both Hamilton's fault, because that would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?

 

[hwy_61]

Damn chris bosh is an f1 fan? That's cool

Imagine some people want drivers they don't like to be penalized. Imagine that just for a second. Weird how that could happen, I know!

 

[yami4ct]

There's no way Perez manages to pass them both unless he turns into a god.

If he can run these to the end and both Hamilton and Ric have to pit after ruining their tires, there's a shot.

 

[Hackbert]

Daaamn. Anyone following the 24th race... Battle within 2 seconds in the last lap

 

[TCRS]

Daaamn. Anyone following the 24th race... Battle within 2 seconds in the last lap

yeah holy shit

after 24h such a close end

last lap

 

[John_B]

Ricciardo's left tire looks like it has a serious flatspot.

 

[nature boy]

Camera guy really interested in that twitter handle.

 

[yami4ct]

Wait, Ferrari is rumored to be courting Rosberg? That's not a pickup I'd be looking at.

GT and Prototype endurance racing for the last couple of years has been utterly fantastic. I wish I had more time to follow it, it's one of my favourite sports.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

How much I'd hate that to happen. Feeling really bad for the team.

Yeah Peter and especially Monisha have really made a mess out of that outfit. Those shitty pay drivers they got just putting the final nails on the coffin.

 

[thenexus6]

Alonso the tank

 

[Hasney]

Wait, Ferrari is rumored to be courting Rosberg? That's not a pickup I'd be looking at.

Depends on your priorities. I'm sure they'd pay a ton to have the reigning world drivers champion drive for them.

 

[Xando]

Damn still 20 laps to go

 

[Massa]

Yeah Peter and especially Monisha have really made a mess out of that outfit. Those shitty pay drivers they got just putting the final nails on the coffin.

Nasr isn't a shitty driver.

 

[spuckthew]

I don't think I've seen as many F1 cars reversing as I have this weekend.

 

[Mohonky]

Yeh well, maybe some people should take a deep breathe before screaming for penalties.

Im a Hamilton fan but I can put my sensible hat on and maintain that Rosberg did no wrong last week, racing incident.

 

[Spades]

OMG

[hwy_61]

Go Mexico!

 

[bobnowhere]

Ricciardo is going to need a massive set of angry pants in Canada.

 

[GHG]

Riccardo... Chill fam.

 

[djplaeskool]

Gutierrez came within inches from the wall. yikes

 

[yami4ct]

Depends on your priorities. I'm sure they'd pay a ton to have the reigning world drivers champion drive for them.

Rosberg is a perfectly serviceable driver, but there's no doubt he's at where he's at purely because of Lewis' bad luck and his OP car. You could easily spend that money on a better driver who can hold longer.

 

[spuckthew]

Dan ain't doing himself no favours

 

[ElTorro]

lol, Rosberg does almost the same chicane cutting, but then he gives the position back.

 

[hamchan]

Anyways let's ignore that Hamilton-Ricciardo incident. It was dumb from Hamilton I think most agree, Ricciardo saved them from a crash, and nothing can change the outcome now.

Honestly, Ricciardo should be most angry with his team. Miscommunication between the team during a pitstop is a joke. Once again he's lost a chance for victory after doing nothing wrong.

 

[brotkasten]

Wait, Ferrari is rumored to be courting Rosberg? That's not a move I'd be looking at.

They seem very interested and Rosberg hasn't denied talking to them. It's said that Mercedes wants to offer him one year, but Rosberg wants at least two, which is something Mercedes doesn't want to commit to.

And yeah, no reason for Rosberg to switch to Ferrari, even if the money is good.

 

[olore]

I so need to capitalize on my young son sleeping so I can work, but I can´t tear my eyes away from the television! Go Lewis!

 

[Aiii]

OMG

REKT

 

[Zaru]

I just love that two NicoBergs on Mercedes engines are next to each other

 

[GHG]

Showers could come with 8 laps to go.

This could get interesting.

 

[RoKKeR]

Rain pls

That or a Perez victory

 

[dakun]

lol, Rosberg does almost the same chicane cutting, but then he gives the position back.

Hamilton didn't overtake though, thus he didn't have to let anybody through

 

[Ark]

Rosberg would probably be a good pickup for Ferrari tbh. He's basically a more reliable Raikkonen.

 

[hwy_61]

Omg that pit stop man.

 

[yami4ct]

I can't see why Rosberg would want to move or why Ferrari would pick him up. It seems like a bad move for both sides.

 

[nny]

rain for 8 laps??

pleasepleaseplease

 

[hamchan]

Rosberg would probably be a good pickup for Ferrari tbh. He's basically a more reliable Raikkonen.

I don't really understand the incentive for Rosberg to change team though.

 

[olore]

How long does ultras hold out on this track? I see that Rosberg is on ultras as well

 

[spuckthew]

Ted reckons they'll just about make it to the end before rain hits

 

[Shaneus]

So two races in a row where Danny had a victory taken away by team strategy :/

 

[darkinstinct]

Wait, Ferrari is rumored to be courting Rosberg? That's not a pickup I'd be looking at.

Ferrari wants to keep Kimi but cut his salary. Rosberg wants to stay at Merc but get a raise. Best way for both parties to get what they want is to pretend they are in talks. Or not outright deny that.

 

[brotkasten]

I can't see why Rosberg would want to move or why Ferrari would pick him up. It seems like a bad move for both sides.

Ferrari needs someone to replace Kimi. Like Rosberg or not, he's still a good driver and might also bring valuable information from Mercedes over. So I can see why Ferrari would be interested. Who else would be willing to take Kimi's seat? It's not like they have a successful young drivers program.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I will be so salty if Hamilton wins this

 

[Ark]

The slowmo shots at Monaco are always a treat.

I will be so salty if Hamilton wins this

I'll be happy, because Hamilton's been robbed of Monaco a number of times before, but I really wanted Ricciardo to win this.

 

[nature boy]

Sky trying their best to make this exciting.

It's not.

 

[nny]

Beautiful slow-mo.

 

[hamchan]

So two races in a row where Danny had a victory taken away by team strategy :/

Not even strategy. Just a basic procedure like getting the tyres ready for a pit stop.
