It's terrible! He should grow an afro!

That's really not nice, he looks like an extra in Alien.

I'm wondering...is his newfound freedom causing too many distractions? That idiotic hairdo, his dog following him everywhere....hey buddy, your teammate has outqualified you twice in a row and looks to be going for a hat-trick this weekend! Wake the f up.

[racechick]

Yes come on Lewis! finger out! I'll look after the dog for you

[NHcheese]

Yeah! I'll do the hair!

Tough race for Lewis, but he made two mistakes this weekend...not getting pole, and wasting too much time getting into the pits. What's so wrong with double stacking, I don't understand why the team told him to build the 6 second gap either?

Anyway, his favourite track is next...perfect place to launch a response and take on Nico. Can't wait. I do think Mercedes now have some sort of handle on their tyre issues and Brawn said he expects similar performance in Montreal where there aren't huge lateral loads on the rears.

Eddie Jordan made the point on the BBC that Lewis should just learn to trust his pit-crew and team more. Dropping that far back was a big error.

But why did he drop back? And what's it to do with not trusting his pit crew? Mind you he has had bad experiences in the past with listening to pit crew, maybe it's a hard lesson to forget.

Why did he drop back? Exactly! Obviously far too overcautious with regard to pitting behind Nico. No need to drop back at all. Let the team do the work.

The team asked him for a 6 second gap between him and Rosberg when Rosberg was about 2 seconds ahead. Which is why I'm asking why did they ask for that 6 second gap, double stacking isn't going to harm things much.

Yeah, double-stacking is the quickest way to do it, surely!

But he didnt know he'd be pitting. He didnt know there would be a safety car at that moment.

No no no, this obviously all happened in the time between the incident taking place, and the pit-stop which thus took place!

It was clear to all drivers that the SC was out rc. The question is why did Lewis need that 6 second gap...was it a misunderstanding? Or a mistake from his race engineer? After the race he did say he opened the gap up due to the request from his team. But I think he overdid it and made it a 10 second gap. But the question is why the 6 seconds.

Precisely. It's a very mysterious thing to put into operation.
