I think we can safely say that Seb only looked to be on terms with the Mercs, pace wise, in the early laps. After that, the RBR just didn't seem fast enough.

No, you can't safely say that. One big concern is overheating when following too closely, so they backed off and managed the tires, basically playing the same game as Mercedes and hoping to jump them during the pit stops.
Plus, later on they looked at the overall situation with FA and KR and realized that there's no point in risking much trying to overtake NR in Monaco when SV and RB are getting way more points than their direct competition.

Which we agree on 100%, the part of contention is the woman done wrong post race Vettel attitude, which is sweet and sour when he wins, and just down right sour when he loses.

I think I'd be much better with the guy if he stopped after the I just wasn't quick enough or we just weren't quick enough comment. To his credit he always does that, but then goes on to whine about how the others were driving a bus, or if the lead up to turn one was longer he would have been able to take both Mercs. Spare me...

Just once I'd like to see him be a man instead of acting like a five year old kid that didn't get his way, and just say the race here is won on Saturday and we weren't quick enough yesterday so it was going to be difficult to win today. See the difference there? Anyway, we should be having this discussion in the That's Vettel thread.

For Christ's sake he spoke more in the post race interview than Rosberg! :rolleyes: Time it, you'll see.

However, Hamilton believes the problem is not a communication issue with his engineers, but rather something he has to find himself.

"It's nothing to do with the engineers, it's just a general feeling with me," he explained. "It's difficult to really explain it but I've just not been on it all weekend. It's not through not being focused or not being centred, it's just about being comfortable in the car.

"When I was at McLaren I had been there for a very long time and I had 100% confidence in the car, particularly at this track [Monaco] where you need 100% confidence in the car beneath you. It worked well in the past, it's just that I've been struggling gaining that confidence and that means I can't brake late enough."

I read that a couple of days ago, he's not blaming the team for giving him a bus to drive.

I know right? Fourth in the championship standings, imagine if he had a car that he was comfortable with?

The thing is if he knew he's having issues getting comfortable with the car, it would've been better to walk the dog less and sit a bit with the engineers more till he feels at home with the machinery. I'm glad Nico finally something so quickly this season, it means Lewis must respond.
