I wasn't kidding when I said Hamilton looked absolutely clueless out there. Such a massive talent, too... what a waste.

It's all rigged, if you ask me. It drives up their value because now everyone's talking about them. If it had just ended Lewis Hamilton 1st and Nico Rosberg 2nd, nobody would even be mentioning this boring race right now.

Mercedes-Benz: We totally blew it for Lewis Hamilton
Team boss Toto Wolff admitted they made a massive call error during the closing stages of the Monaco GP.
"Yeah, we absolutely ruined Lewis Hamilton's race. We just didn't read the gap to Nice correctly—total miscalculation. All we can really do now is apologize. I feel terrible for Lewis, and honestly, I feel for the crew who made such a bad call. We should have cruised to a perfect 1-2 finish today. We need to sit down, dig into what went wrong, and send Lewis Hamilton a formal apology," Toto Wolff said right after the race wrapped up.

I've been chewing on that whole mess at the Monaco Grand Prix 2015 and those questionable calls from Mercedes... Honestly, if that hadn't happened, I don't think we'd even have anything to talk about after the race. And hey—only two weeks until Canada.

Just thinking out loud here—what should the 2017 lineup actually look like before Red Bull Racing makes their move...
Red Bull might just pull the plug entirely since Volkswagen already announced they're staying out of Formula 1.

http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-...---monaco.html
Highlighting part of Lewis Hamilton's response:
I saw a screen, it looked like the team was out and I thought that Nico Rosberg had pitted. Obviously I couldn't see the guys behind so I thought the guys behind were pitting. The team said to stay out, I said “these tyres are going to drop in temperature,” and what I was assuming was that these guys would be on Options and I was on the harder tyre. So, they said to pit. without thinking i came in with full confidence that The others Had Dona The same.
So, his team told him to stay out. It was probably just a massive misunderstanding... He could've just asked if his rivals had already pitted, though.
From this, my takeaway is that Hamilton is an idiot, but hey—he's still the fastest guy out there next to Fernando Alonso.

stormybadger8 said:That penalty is pure stupidity 🤦
I'm telling you, the FIA is just being ridiculous. They honestly need to head over to some training camp—maybe out in the Midwest or something—to actually learn how things work. Both them and the drivers... if they actually went through some real schooling, maybe there wouldn't be so much whining. Then we could actually sit back, watch the free practice sessions, and enjoy the real fighting after the race is over 😉

Max was the hero of the race👍 Man, being that crafty at just 17 years old—and then having that terrible brake test from Grozan... what a jerk...

If you end up being in Canada, this will definitely be the best analysis out there...👍

Forget about tokens... Mercedes is just too strong 👋

Well, Mercedes is going to bring updates too—what do you think? 👋

slydrifter39 said:If I recall correctly, he totally blew it by trying to overtake Vitaly Petrov in a much slower car. The strategy was just off—he didn't realize Sebastian Vettel was going to be the champion, instead he was too busy worrying about that wreck of a car driven by Mark Webber... 👍
And that wreck of a car from Mark Webber was actually ahead of Sebastian Vettel with just one lap left in the race... 👋
Plus, you can't blame the strategists for bringing Fernando Alonso in at the wrong time.

stormybadger8 said:That’s exactly what sets the real drivers apart—and honestly, that's why I respect him way more than Fernando Alonso starting today...
They were all pretty close until now—but honestly, Hamilton is clearly on a whole different level... 👍
Haha...
And who actually cares who YOU prefer... anyway...🤣

slydrifter39 said:We all know... Fernando Alonso basically screwed himself. Or maybe it was Di Grassi? Or Vitaly Petrov? Or Robert Kubica when Fernando didn't give him the spot back and ended up with that penalty at the British GP? Or maybe Lewis Hamilton in Valencia? Hehe.
Ferrari's pit crew totally botched it. How did you miss that race?...

Raymond Ortiz89 said:So that's how you see it...
So you're basically saying you know Hamilton and Vettel are better drivers than Alonso... 🙂🙂🙂
You're just digging your own grave...
Cuj Baton isn't even close to being better than Fernando Alonso—only someone totally clueless could actually claim that...
So, does the consensus among the experts actually put Fernando Alonso at the top as the most complete driver out there? YES.
Was Alonso named the best driver of the decade last year? YES...
That's enough... 👋

stormybadger8 said:It’s the same old criteria...
If you don't cause damage to another driver, there's usually no penalty...
Kimi wasn't forced off the track and his car was fine... but Hulk got pushed out, lost a ton of positions, and had to pit because of the damage...
That's how they always judge things whenever it's a gray area—something sitting right on the line between a racing incident and something worth a harsh penalty. That's exactly why Fernando Alonso's penalty was so minimal in the first place...
Honestly, I'd just send them all over to NASCAR and let the FIA deal with it—maybe then the UCI and the drivers would stop whining and complaining so much.

slydrifter39 said:Don't get worked up—title counts don't tell the whole story... I mean, Alonso had a killer car back in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2010.
🤣🤣🤣
Look, I'll give you 2005—Renault was just more reliable than McLaren back then, so people always used that as an excuse. BUT in 2006, Ferrari was just as fast as Renault, if not faster (you could see that right at the first race when both Ferraris jumped the Renaults)... in 2007, McLaren and Ferrari were basically neck-and-neck... and as for 2010, we all know exactly who screwed Alonso over.

Michael Diaz4 said:He messed up by actually listening to them. A real champion—someone truly elite—would never have done that in a spot like this...
It’s the exact same story with Vettel—he made the wrong call by following Ferrari's pit wall and staying out while Ham went for that different strategy and snatched the win 👋

Michael Diaz4 said:Look, he drove his heart out in both races—couldn't have done any better...
Last race, he could've totally covered Hamilton during that second pit stop. Why didn't he? Because he's just being thick 👋
