Its Hammy's race to lose now. Just stay out of the Armco, exercise care when passing Maldonado, and everything will be alright!

Soccer's more important?

We didn't get anything after the checkered flag here in the Detroit area. Some tanker was burning just outside of downtown and the feed got cut for the Breaking News. Even though car/truck fires seem to be a daily occurrence down there. Then they went straight to the soccer match!

You are forgetting the ******* stupid strategist. The race feels like it was run by the WWE.

Here is what you missed from the podium interviews (not word for word, but you get the idea):

Rosberg: "I am really happy for the win, but I also know I was lucky. I have my work cut out for me, Lewis was better than I was all weekend".

Vettel: "I am really happy to take 2nd place and I know I got lucky. I was worried about the restart after the safety car as these tires are just not meant to go from hot to cold and back to hot. But I managed to keep Lewis behind me. I am happy."

Hamilton: "What happened? I don't know, we as a team will have to sit down and talk about this. However now is not the time to comment. We win and lose as a team".

Martin Brundle: "How do you rebound from such a result".

Hamilton: "Go win the next race" ... followed by some cheers in the background from the fans.

On Twitter Mercedes is trying to get ahead of this. About as effective as Yul Brenner selling Rogain.

so that we believe theres a real 2015 championship Hammy gets pulled in for a non required tyre stop allowing Rberg and Seb to finish higher in race and championship points.

At least Montreal is next.

Looks like they're in full obfuscation mode.

As usual we're unlikely to learn the full truth. One thing for sure, if Rosberg or his crew made the same error he'd be getting the full flame treatment right now.

Now about the grid girls.....http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1...off-for-monaco

Lewis has been paying attention to those who have been advising him.

When asked what was in his mind after losing the victory on the podium, Hamilton simply replied: "Come back to win the next one."

When pressed on his feelings in the press conference, he replied: "I can't really express how I feel, so… I won't even attempt to."

Afterwards, in the media pen, he added: "I'll refocus tomorrow, enjoy this evening and come back and try to win the next race. That's all I can do.

"It's very difficult at the moment, but I'm a world champion and I need to behave like one. I like to be team leader, and today I showed my pace and what I can do at Monaco.

"I feel content in my heart; I did everything I could. It was a collective decision [to pit]."
From that comment it shows he is stronger and tougher than last year.

Second time this season Lewis has lost on a tire change. Time for MB to invest in a frickin' clue.

Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous, f-ing ridiculous! Millions of dollars in software to predict everything and they "thought" rosberg and vettel pitted?!

I felt like throwing the remote through my TV.

Just f-ing ridiculous.
