He pushed too hard in his first lap, he had a strange issue under braking on his second. Were you even watching? There's absolutely no evidence that he 'cracked under pressure' as everyone seems to be making out.
bros. and alonso on p4 wooohooooo!!!
That's not true. He was 0.3s up on Bottas and he shanked the 2nd to last corner.
Good for Williams and good for us, with Hamilton and Vettel coming from behind. I can see Hamilton on softs with much longer 1st stint.
I think this must be mechanical, no way that you will have one rear wheel blockade under braking

Least his 2 Q3 laps were faster than Vettels.

Errrrrr yeh he had a shit lap, no point the first sectors being good if he makes a mistake in the final sector.
Hamiltons second lap, he hit the brakes and it just jumps into a 180. Got a feeling he is going to have further problems mechanically tomorrow.

Not sure what is funnier trying to sell the mechanical failure (?) as cracking under pressure or the Hamilton defence force.
At least you can blame Hamilton for not delievering one lap.

Rosberg is a little luckier so far, but you need to be in F1. He's also driving really, really well though so don't call it a fluke.
I don't think it's a Hamilton Defence Force. I can't speak for everyone but I'd react the same way if this was happening to any other driver too. If it happened to Rosberg, Vettel, Raikkonen, whoever! It's idiotic to jump on Hamilton like this when clearly there is no evidence for him 'cracking under pressure'.
a little luckier? he would be 30pts behind without the DNF's for Lewis.

Rosberg blaming Hammy spinning for him not getting pole 
Lmao at Rosberg coughing
Well he's not wrong.

Hamilton claims it was his mistake.

Feathers will fly at Mercedes garage today
That's too bad for Lewis, but one Rosberg DNF+Hamilton win and he's back in it.
It's not a fluke, Rosberg hasn't been blown out by Lewis as some expected. He has done a great job this year, belittling his efforts by calling it a fluke is wrong.

Can I see the calculation for the 30pts?
Yeah, it should be almost 10 degrees hotter (around 27, today was 17), which means much bigger tyre usage and we could see supersofts gone after 8 laps.

Hamliton said that it was his mistake.
Asked if he could explain the incident, Hamilton replied: "I can't really. I just spun.
"I hit the brakes and locked the rears.
"I'm not really sure [why] - I have to look at the data."

Those two DNFs, Hamilton would have had a podium for sure, so two third place podiums is 30 points. But there's argument he's given up 36 points or 43 points. He was on pole in Australia.
Im glad Lewis' off wrecked Rosberg's "pole lap", thats payback for Monaco.

That doesn't explain how a 22pts lead for Rosberg turns suddenly into 30pts lead for Hamilton - 52pts total.
It would be only possible if Hamilton wins both races and Rosberg would suffer at least one DNF.
Just checked the results, YEEEAAAAHHHHH WILLIAMS 1 2!!!!
So freaking awesome! They have probably the next best car, so happy to see them kill it today!
But still, a Martini car at the pole!

Can't wait for them to fuck it up in the long-run tomorrow with some shitty tire strategy or something.

after Hamilton's first DNF, he came back and won four in a row to catch up with Rosberg's points. What more does he need to do other than have a reliable car under him?
You and I have different definitions of blowout then, because Rosberg definitely pushed Hamilton in a couple of those races. It wasn't like Lewis drove off and left Rosberg in the dust.
I'm not a Rosberg fan, or a Lewis one, but why do people insist on trying to put down their performances this year? It's ridiculous.

He is luckiest prick on the track this season. He has been constantly spinning out or nearly crashing in every race or quali. Pit stops have mostly gone his way. On track incidents have favoured him over Hamilton every time, if he fucks up a quali it ruins Hamilton's quali lap, if runs off the track he gains over half a second advantage. Whether or not he drove well in the end, he still had amazingly good luck last race yet again when Hami got a DNF and he got 2nd.
Canada was only race where he actually pushed Hamilton, Bahrain was due to a lucky safety car that the gap closed enough for him to attack, even then with a superior set of tires he couldn't do it.
You Rosberg fans are insane, the guy has done absolutely nothing on note until Canada where he apparently kept a dying car alive to the end.
It's not like Hamilton can force Rosberg into third position.
Edit: I swear to god, Massa you better get some points tomorrow.

I don't see the Williams cars being 1 and 2 at the end of the race. Well, maybe one might be but it seems unlikely. Still, stranger things have happened. Hamilton will probably ease into the top 5 by halfway into the race if not sooner.
The final outcome of the race will be interesting to see.

Just watched my recording.
First, big congrats to Williams. I have been a very vocal critic of that team and their fall from grace. I have declared that they'd never be good again. I have to give credit where it's due and admit I was wrong.
Now, wtf is up with Lewis? Bottled it his first lap, then that odd spin. I'll have to read the thread, but did he have the brake balance completely off or something? The rear just locked and spun on him. First thing I thought was suspension failure, but watching the replay, I'd only suggest transmission failure, if it's not the more likely case of driver error. Ugh, its frustrating. He's quick here. Much better on the sorts then super sorts for a second race in a row. He needs to work on his performance with this compound, because Nico is eating his lunch on them. World Cup and WatchDogs are going to make this weekend tough on F1, but I plan on watching the race live. PEACE.
