Please.
What he did was completely within the rules of the sport, improved the quality of the race. The only group who weren't served by this were the Mercedes team, who had already locked up the Constructors Championship and the World Drivers Championship. Construing this as some moral wrong is actually hilarious.

You haven't seen the cesspits that are the BBC comments and the Guardian.
Most toxic fans in sport.
Kravitz has probably locked himself into toilette at Manor's garage

Is this your first visit?
Out of genuine curiosity, because I don't have Sky Sports, what are they saying?

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Who here actually genuinely supports Rosberg? Not simply because he is a rival to Hamilton?
3 out of 4 seasons in F1 would say otherwise.

You must have not been here when Vettel fanboys, Alonso fanboys and Webber best fans on earth were very active.
I hope the people shitting on Hamilton aren't Schumi or Senna fans.
It seems while there are some legit Rosberg fans, the responses make it seems like they're mostly made up of Hamilton haters.
Either way, with Newey working his wizardry, I expect a rocketship from redbull next year. Should be a season that separates the boys from men if we have 2 teams with this caliber of drivers fighting for the championship.
Something bothered me about Lewis' choice of words in the drivers press conference. It's reminiscent of Vettel's team radio after snatching the championship @ COTA in 2013. I hope Merc has a good package next year.
Also to the people shitting on Ferrari's strategies; Merc is just as bad, they're just flattered by their machinery. We'll see next year if/when they actually have to fight for their win/podiums.

His wife must have set up multiple GAF accounts.
My mum just cancelled Sky Sports so I can't leech Sky Go anymore. I am going to happy just going to the highlights on C4 so I never have to see any of those fucks (bar Senna, Brundle, Crofty and Crofty, I like them.) again.
I actually thought Mercedes were right to go through motions to ask Hamilton to up the pace. If your strategists looking at the data are saying this is the optimal path.
It's still the teams job to try to maximise the points and get the 1-2.
Hamilton (and Rosberg) were well within their rights to ignore but it's valid for the team to ask. I doubt they actually expected Hamilton to comply.

And you're just plain wrong. Nothing Hamilton did was wrong.
I don't even like Hamilton. I actually rather dislike him out of the car. I'm happy Nico won. But even then I have to defend Hamilton for what he did because it's insane that anyone would attack him for it. I just have pure disdain for anyone against him doing it because why are you even watching F1 if you don't want to watch drivers be ultra competitive, doing everything they reasonably can to win a championship.

Lews's Boss just annouced in German TV that there will be consequences for not following direct instructions.

Bright future for Hamilton as a SC driver
It was a slow race.
Yeah right. If Mercedes are actually in a fight next year, they're going to put their weight behind their best driver.
I'll always back the guy who hasn't won a WDC over the one who has. Hopefully the Mercs have some Red Bull competition or a surprise non-Ferrari team with the rule changes.

Eh? I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue that Hamilton isn't the more profitable driver for Mercedes.
The WDC and MFR trophies were wrapped up races ago by Merc. For their bottom lines Hamilton is their favoured driver (within reason, see: "sabotage").
I think unless the engine takes a leap all the aero in the world isn't going to close the gap, Mercedes actually has an excellent aero package themselves.
Indeed he is. Love it!
No Christmas hat for him.
Next year Lewis car will see even more "reliability issues"...
Eh, if it's legit, it'll probably be a small fine to show them who's boss.
I was just thinking when he was talking he might be arrested before making it home....

The car has really bailed them out of some god awful strategies. Lewis losing Monaco under a safety car was lol.

He's contractually obligated to comply with team instructions.
And don't forget the struggling factory workers, just about managing.
Still hope for Nasr.
I would watch that.

Wouldn't mind a bit of rallycross on CH4.

Yeah, I think most hope the new regs just allow Redbull to catch Mercedes. Both have great aero, no reason to think Mercedes will just fall down now.

Not exactly but I'm kind of new. I imagine people are less angry overall when it's not race day.
Unlimited development from now on, so its surely possible.
Merc can't have much more room for improvement.

That would be pretty short-lived.
Yes, he unlocked the achievement 'Had less engine failures'.
