What a crowd.

 

[stryke]

Good recovery from Ric. He needs to work on his starts again cos he did that really well last race.

 

[Konosuke]

I kinda feel bad for Rosberg there lol, he tried.

 

[Chanser]

That flag with the whiteboard.

 

[paskowitz]

Equal opportunity booing.

 

[Hasney]

LEWIS SIGNING FERRARI FLAGS IT'S OFFICIAL

*cough*

 

[operon]

Those boos nico has pissed away his popularity.

 

[Foshy]

Even if Rosberg wins the WDC he might be the most unpopular champion of all time at this rate.

Yeah. Vettel accumulated hate over his 4 years of dominance. Rosberg hasn't even won yet and it's already this bad.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I think Hamilton has earned that Alonso-esque sympathy from the Italians who feel that he also deserves more titles.

 

[mclem]

Bless, is like Massa's regarded as an honorary Italian.

 

[Hasney]

Hamilton has incredible global support and Nico has the exact opposite. I'm actually amazed to see this kind of reaction from the Italian crowd. The cheers when he went off at the chicane twice say it all really.

And hearing those cheers, it really makes me happy about the new engines. Real pity about some of the quieter tracks.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Rosberg getting absolutely destroyed by the fans.

 

[ramparter]

Even if Rosberg wins the WDC he might be the most unpopular champion of all time at this rate.

Which could be quite an achievement considering the Vettel situation up to last year.

It's also funny, before this year started I wanted him to be the champ.

 

[Zeknurn]

Wolff: The race was really exciting.


What race?

 

[Juicy Bob]

EJ going straight for the conspiracy theory.

 

[Ark]

Bless, is like Massa's regarded as an honorary Italian.

I think after his accident in 2009 and his sudden up-turn in form in 2012 has earned him a huge amount of sympathy. His podium at Suzuka with Kobayashi was one of the most incredible moments.

EDIT: EJ asking the question I had in my mind as well.

 

[massivekettle]

lol... Rosbers spits out a monologue in Italian and still gets booed. Lewis blurts out 2 words and get the loudest cheers...

 

[Ruruja]

EJ is an absolute goon.

 

[TCRS]

what a silly question. EJ pls.

 

[Xun]

I think Hamilton has earned that Alonso-esque sympathy from the Italians who feel that he also deserves more titles.

Yeah, it certainly seems that way.

A huge contrast to what has happened in the past.

It's a shame Rosberg got that many boos though.

 

[Mokubba]

eddy is such an idiot

Oh god I know. Was just thinking that podium was the loudest one with this one coming second right now.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

I think Hamilton has earned that Alonso-esque sympathy from the Italians who feel that he also deserves more titles.

Yup. I think they want him at Ferrari as well so he gets a lot of cheers.

 

[Ark]

He's on his way to emulating Mansell sans moustache.

Spoiler

Hopefully he manages more than 1 WDC though.

 

[olore]

Yes, agreed

 

[Hasney]

Sounds like EJ is just asking the question that Twitter came up with.

Fucking Twitter.

 

[Caramello]

So what did EJ ask?

 

[Hasney]

So what did EJ ask?

If Rosberg was told to cut the chicane on purpose to let Lewis through.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

I have to say that Suzi Perry looks great with glasses.

 

[Konosuke]

If Rosberg was told to cut the chicane on purpose to let Lewis through.

Lol what a stupid question.

 

[Zeknurn]

EJ is just great.

 

[Caramello]

If Rosberg was told to cut the chicane on purpose to let Lewis through.

Why even bother? Even if he was told to did EJ honestly think Mercedes would admit that!?

 

[Ark]

I have to say that Suzi Perry looks great with glasses.

She does actually.

 

[Cuddler]

I feel a little bad for Rosberg, one of the few drivers that can speack Italian and I know he really likes Italy and I remember him because he was really funny back then(trolling Italian interviewers, lol), he really did a stupid move at Spa, he should have more self confidence, he could have won the Championship even without doing those things, or at least tried, but what he did just show that he doesn't believe much in his driving skills.

 

[DrM]

Ahaha, did you guys see a sign in the crowd under podium :

FIA UNDER INVESTIGATION
LACK OF LOUDNESS

 

[kiyomi]

I have to say that Suzi Perry looks great with glasses.

Yeah. You can't see her cold, dead eyes.

The BBC guys are all over Ricciardo like a nervous highschooler.

I hope Ricciardo senpai notices me.

 

[justjohn]

So what's with these drivers shunning Hamilton? What's their problem with him?

 

[DrM]

he is too fast for them...

Also Suzie Wolff's German makes me soft in my knees

 

[Ark]

So what's with these drivers shunning Hamilton? What's their problem with him?

Huh? First I've heard of this.

 

[TCRS]

kind of slow BBC interviews... the drivers are still tired I guess. Not even RIC had much to say and he doesn't look like the quiet type.

 

[justjohn]

Huh? First I've heard of this.

I was watching their reaction to him in the room and it was very cold. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

 

[hamchan]

Massa had a good chat with both Hamilton and Rosberg. Hamilton and Rosberg being cold to each other makes sense.

 

[Hasney]

I was watching their reaction to him in the room and it was very cold. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

To be fair, he's had his issues with Massa in the past but they seemed cordial at the start, and obviously the issues with Rosberg right now. I don't think he would have had that if it was 2 other guys up there with him.

Rosberg made a point to speak Italian to him though.

 

[Ark]

In the pre-podium room? Massa went straight over to Hamilton and Nico was shunning him for obvious reasons.

 

[dalin80]

Massa and Hamilton seemed OK with each other, considering their history everything looked OK there. It doesn't matter who comes where that weird little debrief room always has a very odd atmosphere, you could put hardened terrorists in there and they would break through comfortableness.

 

[Breakage]

I was watching their reaction to him in the room and it was very cold. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

Didn't look like there was an issue between Hamilton and Massa.
Just looked like Rosberg was excluding Hamiliton by speaking to Massa in Italian.

The pre-podium freshen-up room is always awkward. It very rarely provides the fly-on-the-wall, juicy conversations/reactions that the broadcaster is hoping for, as the drivers are well aware of the camera. I don't think they should bother showing it tbh.

It was worth it for Multi 21 alone.
