at Lewis!Oh look Hamilton choked again.
Where did that time come from?
Cock up by Hamilton

HamiltonCan't wait for Hamilton to start moaning.
Why did he pit?!
It's slightly different than the Ferrari domination days, because at least here the two drivers for said dominant team are competing tooth and nail with each other for the title, which adds drama and does make it interesting. In the past three years of Red Bull domination (and in the Schumacher Ferrari years) there wasn't even that - the dominant team just had one driver who was miles out in front with no competition.
but that was more domination by one driver, just like Vettel was , this is different , the battle is between 2 drivers , OK for the same team but still a good battle.
WTF happened there?
Crazy, that final sector!
I did not see that coming, it's crazy!
Hamilton is the biggest coward on the grid. It's hilarious. Every time the pressure is on, he chokes. He totally lacks bottle.
To be fair, did anyone see that coming? People would be praising him for saving tyres were it not for the final sector drying up.
FFS Lewis you shit house, if Nico wins the race that is his WC hope over for me.
Looks dodgy to me
No but you should see the session through, everyone else did.
If he doesn't win tomorrow which lets be honest isn't that likely from 6th on a track with little overtaking, could be the title gone, he could lose his head.
They're saying that Hamilton bailed out.
I dont think that, I think he made a wrong call, he should of stayed out.
Lewis knows he balls it up, he is gutted.
That's what I'm saying mate. It was him who decided to come in, he pretty much fecked up. They just interviewed him on BBC and he was speechless.
Telling you, thats the title right there. Win tomorrow or its all over.
I agree, tommorow is the make or break of his season, even with the double points, no win means no WC.
I'm not a big F1 fan but was just watching.... Can someone explain to me wtf just happened?! Did Hamilton think he had pole in the bag so there was no point carrying on?
I don't understand why you wouldn't just keep going regardless. For the enjoyment of the drive if not anything else

Did he slow down earlier on in the lap? Because the pit lane is obviously at the end of the final sector so I presume it was obvious by that stage that the track was a lot drier
The times were about 2.5 seconds down through the first two sectors, but the last sector was dry when all the previous times did it when it was wet so they gained it all back. Hamilton bailed when he shouldn't, him and his team should have known the last sector was dry given they are fecking sitting in it.
I think he did yeah because he saw it was slower but he should have known if the last sectors dry it can be gained back plus more because of the quickest times being set when that sector was drenched. Dumb.
He slowed down on the Wellington straight, can see it on Rosberg's onboard.
Yeah just seen Nico's pole lap there and he overtook a slowing Hamilton earlier in the lap
I'm with you, cheers.
Why not put 100% in throughout your drive though? What is there to be achieved in pitting early?
Hamilton just moved aside and let Nico through. Huge error from Hamilton.
I wasn't watching, how early did he bail out? Because if it was the Wellington straight that is some of the worst decision skills I've ever seen.
His team asked him to let Rosberg through if he didn't feel he could go any faster, and the start of the track was so wet -- and they were all going so slowly -- that Lewis obviously felt he wouldn't go faster and thus bailed out, letting Nico ahead of him. He didn't expect the final sector to be so quick and dry (to be fair no one did), and that cost him, where everyone else carried on going flat out and therefore jumped him.
It's entirely his own fault for being both too arrogant to think he needed to go at 100% for the lap (when everyone else was), and too much of a bottler to stop himself choking and making the wrong decisions every time a moment like this comes along.

Half way through the lap I would say. He was holding Nico behind him and then he just moved aside and let Nico through. Pretty crazy stuff.
Yeah it was. Had Rosberg right behind him and then pulled over to let him speed off to pole position.
Shocking stuff from Hamilton.
I just think he did a bad call, he thought the track was slow and paid the price.
Worse than bad, leaving the track in changing track conditions when you've got your sole rival for the championship right up your exhaust and currently slower than you is thick in the extreme. Went for an arrogant "I'm so confident I won't even complete this lap" and deservedly suffered for it.
I am a massive Lewis fan , but I agree with you 100%
Really? Seriously?
Hungaroring, Spa, Monza, Singapore. 4 tracks where Hamilton is a stronger driver than Rosberg on. Less of the knee jerk reactions.
It's not knee jerk and I wasn't necessarily talking about on track stuff, that was after his interview. He's starting to act like his dog days of 2011, if that starts its game over.
He needs 2nd again at an absolute minimum but really he needs a win, he has to start getting on top again.
