[The Second Coming]

The phrase of the day: "it's ironic"

[LiamCatterson]

So..............

[darwin dali]

German precision, eh?

[LiamCatterson]

Yup...Lewis is p*ssed...

[What's Burning?]

Again both Mercs look very equal.

The Mercs may be equal, but the drivers aren't. Lewis is going out tomorrow with a vengeance. The celebration was the icing on the irony cake.

In Snooker, if you get a fluke....you put your hand up...I think

IMO Nico could have at least acknowledged immediately they got out of their cars, that he had spoiled Lewis' pole lap, and apologised. that could maybe have diffused the situation...but instead he chose to celebrate to the spectators.

Nico has gone down in my estimation...

Did you see how Lewis wiped that grin off Nico's face when he said "the irony"…? Nico knows exactly what Lewis means and more importantly, he knows Lewis is pissed. What he didn't factor in is what happens next.

Frankly, I've been following Lewis for years and seen him in all kinds of situations…I've never ever seen this high a level of restraint anger. The whole "we've been buddies since karting" is officially out the window. Nin-Chin used the word "vengeance"…possibly the best single-word descriptive for what's to come tomorrow and upcoming races. I knew this day would come!

RC, I've been waiting for you but figured I'd allow you some time to gather yourself. Sorry love…I feel the same pain.

heard from sky f1 that Rosberg is under investigation for that incident

[Hammer278]

Weighing in just this once since this is most definitely the turning point of the Mercedes partnership and the chemistry in the team. Nico is under official investigation atm.

1) Lewis is 100% sure that was insincere. This is clear by both his interviews after getting out of the car

2) Nico was celebrating a bit too much (especially with his hand motions) looking like he was overcompensating for what just happened...also not going over to Lewis immediately to explain or make peace (not even looking at him) is a big big sign of guilt....to me

3) Nico's gone down in my estimation too. Especially with his first interview where everything he said apologetically seemed half hearted


I wonder what happens tomorrow if Lewis gets a slightly better start. Won't be shocked if both Mercs DNF at the first corner. Sigh

Kvyat finishing 9th in his first ever race at Monaco? That guy has definitely got some talent.

[racechick]

German precision, eh?

Picked a good spot. Made sure his car remained ok for tomorrow.

yes he is under investigation.
Only good thing, no more Mr. nice guy Lewis. No more Nico is fast. No more helping him with his starts. Gloves off. I hope Nico's start sucks tomorrow.

[Denthúl]

Loving that display of innocent until proven guilty.

Oh, wait...

[racechick]

Give him the benefit of the dought, he overcooked it. so why did he start backing up onto the track? just to make sure the yellows came out?
