Re: Mercedes team orders - Hungary.

If Lewis had let Nico past and then Nico inevitably finished ahead of him, everyone who is slating Hamilton for not letting Nico past would be now calling him naive and stupid for losing such important championship points

Re: Hamilton Vs Rosberg - Luck

S*** happens. Lewis is having a bad year like he did in 2012 where he isn't doing much wrong but his car is falling apart frequently. That's motorsport. Rosberg had to endure three rather torrid seasons with Mercedes from 2010-2012 so he's earned his fair share of good karma really. He's been drivi...

Re: Would Mercedes Intentionally Disadvantage Hamilton?

No. I can think of no logical reason to deliberately sabotage Hamilton. Far more likely to just be incompetence on his side of the garage. Indeed. I don't think it a coincidence that at McLaren his car had similar issues in 2012. Perhaps he just hasn't got the mechanics on his side of the garage wo...

No rocking the boat necessary if Fernando goes and beat Rosberg fair and square like he is doing with Kimi (with less gap).

Re: Loss of viewers - Loss of interest but why?

Honestly, I think it is because we have been spoiled.
