Apart from a few new Nico fans on here implying that Lewis, Nico and the team were fully aware that the ERS-K would fail and cause the brakes to over heat, then there can be no blame attached to Lewis for chasing Nico, driving in 'his hot air', choosing to be stationary at a pitstop, or overtaking him strategically at the pit stop.
If however Lewis knew that his car would lose ERS-K, overheat his brakes and fail then it was entirely his fault for not just limping around the whole race and settle for a point or 2 instead of stupidely and unintelligently go for the 25 points.

Wolff, however, rejected the theory that the reliability problems last week in Canada were caused by Hamilton and Rosberg pushing their cars too hard in battle.
"The damage would have occurred even if they had slowed down," he insists.
