He won without any penalties but he didn't deserve it? Ok then.
The anti-Hamilton salt is too strong for my veins in this thread.

Perez is my driver of the day. Much inferior car and took it to the podium over the Ferraris.
Ricciardo is right to be bitter. He should arguably have taken that scrap Mercedes left for everyone to fight about in Barcelona, and he definitely was faster than everyone else this weekend to take a strong win. Still I think he keeps proving how strong of a driver he is. Red Bull would be crazy to not have him signed for when they have a championship car in the coming seasons.
Oh shit, he was? Well fuck, they have some explaining to do. Fuck them.
Actually that's a really good shout. Perez didn't get much screen time for some reason.
Jesus.
Nah Hamilton was praising him. But too bad that Hamilton prayed and got his wish because #blessed.
Mine are Fucking Kimi and Ericsson.
Honorable mention to Verstappen for being man of the weekend.

Everybody hates a world champion with more than one consecutive title, especially when the titles were dominant. It has always been like this. Has probably nothing to do with Hamilton.
Yeah, I mean there's literal conspiracy theorists in here when hamilton was having bad luck.
Yup. Just look at threads when Vettel was at Red Bull compared to how people like Vettel now.
I dislike Hamilton, but I can still appreciate his driving skill and I don't look for reasons why he didn't earn a win when he had a consistently amazing drive. That's what so frustrating about these posts - it's incredibly childish.

I am not a Hamilton hater and pray to Jebus he wins the Championship instead of terrible boring Britney but yeah bit shouldn't he had to hand the first place to Ricciardo when he missed the chicane out of the tunnel?
I agree. Really unprofessional doing what he did.
ahahah

They're taking the piss though.
He's the no.1 RB driver, he's been doing everything they could ask for.
He gets screwed while his team mate is the adored by all of F1. Yet he's NEVER shown that he can actually drive faster than him.
Then gets screwed more, all the while his team mate can't get through quail or the race without putting it in the barriers.
I'd be super pissed too.
Ham was in front of Ric the whole time. Why would he let him by?
"I got screwed two races in a row".
Yeah, that's the other side of the coin. You don't see members of the pit crew or engineers who worked through the night throw Ricciardo under the bus when he has a bad quali or race - but that's just the nature of the sport with the racers functioning as the icon of the team.
I would rather see real emotions then fake corporate PR
No because Ricciardo was completely behind him, not side-by-side.
That's not how the rules work. It's only if you gain a position while cutting a corner that you have to give the position back.
You will get a penalty if you do it a few times though.
Not really. It would be foolish of him to accept any responsibility for what happened considering none of it was his fault. That hurts his stakes in the public eye and also any teams who might want him in the future.
It sounds like they were out with the wrong tyres, then had to go back in and get the right tyres.
Yeah then he should've just answered that question with, "man, I got nothing to say about that". Not, "yeah my team fucked up."

- screwing Ricciardo's race
- gifting Verstappen the race
1/2 of Red Bull's goals fulfilled. Not a half-bad day for them.

More like.. "He's not the right color to be the face of our precious sport, while managing to live his life as he pleases out side of F1, if only he was a black that would know his place, we wouldn't have this problem" .... Fuck'em.
Team #blessed

I'm willing to bet Webber is in his ear every now and again telling him to get out of RBR asap. I guarantee he is thinking longer term; screwed out of a win last week, screwed this week and Marko's toy boy will likely have him move to 2nd driver status. He knows he needs to prpve a point, this isnt helping.
Ferrari might be a good move for him actually.
Still not aa good as last year when Hamilton ran over the 3rd place marker. That was awesome.
If you think some posters here are racist, please call them out on it by name and warn the mods.
If not...
You went there.
Imagine you've just lost a race after account everything all weekend because of something someone else did. After being dicked by that same group of a potential win weeks earlier.
Has every right to be pissed. Don't recall people talking about driver attitude this much when Vettel complained about how shit hits car had become.
