    Does Lewis have a man bun? Hamilton just looks generally "indignant" at Vettel in post race interview.

    No handshake? Hamilton is an ass.

    I actually wanted to like him this year. Waste of time. Petty, petulant idiot of human but a gifted driver. Dont care what happens to this chump in the future in F1 or out of it. He is the epitome of class-less.

    I guess he is still waiting for Todt to helo-in and explain personally, the FIA's ruling on Vettel LOL :)

    Very short as am on phone :

    Kimi is hired as a number 2 driver, this is obvious by pay gap, title wins and overall wins. He's been close to vettel all season also last season. He's been unlucky with some issues (strategies, car failures and being crashed into) which seriously hurt his points.

    No point hiring a driver as quick as vettel, or faster... Want a driver to drive even closer to vettel than Kimi but with the same precision and team Harmony? Good luck finding one. Hire someone faster and you risk him taking pints of vettel and not obedient in team orders, or someone slower and Risk him to the red bulls and others

    Cobra pit of a track. The consistent chaps will do well here, ie Perez will outpace Ocon. Lettuce taking the Haas to Q3 was impressive.

    Vettel is the one who shows frustration, Kimi doesn't.

    Makes for a better spectacle. Drama between championship contenders makes for greater intrigue.

    If Kimi retires this year perhaps Ferrari should exercise their option on leclerc. Most impressive f2 /gp2 driver I've seen

    Seems an odd strategy to me. If you're going to hire a no. 2 driver wouldn't you go for an up and coming young gun who could be a future F1 Champion. To learn from Seb and then take over?

    I don't buy it, and I bet if you ask Kimi that's not what he's there for.
    Of course, to the Kimi die-hards that sounds like a convenient excuse for overwhelmingly poor performance.

    So?

    If its an act its a huge mistake. Put the drama in the racing, not some stupid soap opera.

    Kimi is out for next year. Mark my words.

    Next year this time Kimi will be in a sauna in Finland drinking vodka and being hit with some leaves.

    I hope you're right. For both Kimi's sake and Ferrari.

    I dont think he will be retained. He is so inconsistent overall.

    Mmmm....sort of well.

    WTF Williams! You have the Mercedes engine and you get out qualified by McLaren with their old POS lump in the back?

    There is stupid drama every year:

    Massa/Hamilton crashathon
    Maldonado vs anyone
    Multi-21
    Rosberg/Hamilton hate-fest
    Alonso complaining about his team
    Etc.

    Not saying that all of it is staged, per se, but it does help the spectacle.

    No, this is different. This just seems like a spoiled child pouting. Its "uncool".

    Seriously... Vettel did something stupid and got penalized for it. It didn't hurt Hamilton at all in his race. In fact it helped him in that race. So, get over it!
