I reitterate my earlier comments re Hamilton. I really did did want to believe he had changed but the first time he has to show maturity he throws his toys out the pram. He may be a more competive driver than his teammate but his teammate is the better man. Let us see what the race brings. I hope his engine goes bang if he tries to use additinal power like he did in Spain.

He's back to his old ways.

Behaving like a spoilt brat

He could never have won today, but instead of congratulating his team mate for achieving a one two he goes into sulk mode. His comment yesterday which was certainly meant as he would do a Senna on Prost, was pathetic.

Finished with him for the season, hope Rosberg waxes him.

Wholeheartedly agree with this, and the posts above.

Really very disappointed as I was growing to like him. Today's behaviour was unacceptable and Rosberg always comes across as very friendly and affable, quite un-german, un-arrogant, and un-Vettelesque. Likeable chap

Hope he pumps Lewis, and also hope Ricciardo catches and passes him, unlikely as that may be.

IMHO Rosberg has his petulant moments too. And never nice trying to drive with something in your eye. Even if it is only a tear...

Watched the race with Cameron (jnr) and he kept asking where Hamilton was...

"Behind the sportsman in front"

Interview after the race nothing short of appalling from Hamilton - deserves to lose all good will from the team for that. Contrast it with Rosberg's professional comments when asked about relationship with Lewis.

Poor stuff.

Go Keke - I mean Nico!

Hamilton does wear his heart on his sleeve and is prone to a sulk - I do think that the Rosberg camp is exploiting this trait at the moment, though.

Toto Wolff states that Hamilton was miffed at Rosberg in Bahrain, when he ran an engine map they'd been told not to (increased engine wear?), which helped him beat LH.

LH returned the favour in Barcelona by doing the same, which had Rosberg moaning to the team.

Rosberg has his little qually 'incident', effectively ending LH's chances of five wins on the bounce...and whether or not it was intentional, I'm sure he had a private smirk to himself as he realised the effect it'd have on LH's state of mind, and the likelihood of Hamilton saying something / acting like a petulant child.

I think LH's mindset is quite similar to Senna / Schumacher - Borderline obsessive desire to win, if provided with a suitable car...But Senna & Schumi had the advantage of not having their radio chat broadcast to all & sundry / social media scrutinising their every move

At least LH hasn't started driving into the opposition...Yet!

(P.S. I'm enjoying watching Riccardo this year - Very smooth driver... Bit like Jenson, but faster )

Agree about Riccardo, turned out to be a very quick driver in a good car, and a pleasure to listen to him speaking.
