Truly disgraceful, I demand investigation, telemetry and apologies. Is it a draw then? Something really has to be done to avoid it, what happened to lengthening Q3 plans, where is Charlie Whiting [-o< ?
Obvious difference is Hamilton did not benefit (Rosberg got 1st place in Monaco).
So your whole sarcasm attempt was a BIG FAIL.

Also I don't understand how you can cancel a time for going outside track limits due to gaining an advantage when doing that costs so much extra time.

Why aren't they investigating Vettel for this slowing - rejoining antics, it sent one driver off track, Red Bull is untouchable on home track?

Wow, brilliant start by Hamilton. I don't think the Williams' will be able to hold the Mercs at bay for long, unfortunately.

And bloody h--l, the gap with Alonso is huge already.

I love this track, though.

Rooting for Massa this race, Alonso doesn't have the car.

I think Williams are making a mistake pitting now

They should have stayed out in a clear track and waited until they were clear of the pack imo, or go long

When are Mercedes going to give Hamilton a decent pit stop?

Bottas, that is. Massa lost out big with the stops.

Very very poor strategy from Williams. Once mercedes went for the undercut their best bet was surely to stay out and hope the Mercs get caught in traffic. :?: :?: :?:

Either that or bring them in straight away instead of waiting a couple of laps. Personally I would've split them and brought Massa in straight away and left Bottas out.
