Yes, he cant handle defeat. Some of that Pom arrogance. I hope Nico repeats performance in Canada, no reason he cant.

Very happy for Nico, he deserved it. Hamilton would be looking for revenge in Canada. Meh.. 2 week wait..

Who was that idiot doing the post race interviews? Can't they get proper interviewers or at least test them if they use celebrities?

Benedict Cumberbatch, the actor who plays Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series and was in the last Star Trek movie. In his defence, it sounded like he was a last minute stand in for Alesi.

Yeah, but its also because the English commentary is always skewed towards the POMs. Any half arsed Brit driver starts believing he's a demi god, cause even if he never manages to get a podium place, the commentators swoon over his every move

Nothing to do with being a pom or arrogant. That's like saying Senna was arrogant, or Schumi or Vettel or Prost or Alonso. They're passionate and never happy to come second.

I'd prefer Hamilton to have won; I want him to crush [-]Britney[/-] Rosberg this season. Another run of 4 or so victories should do it.
I think all racing drivers are pretty egotistical compared to normal people. You don't get to where they are without having an ego the size of Britain.
Alonso also has hissy fits when things don't go his way. I'm sure the others are the same. The people who look after them probably think of them as spoiled children, which is probably accurate for most of them.

Happy that Rosberg won. I've never been a Hamilton fan despite his obvious talent, so a great race result IMHO.
Riccardo is doing some good work in that Red Bull, liking him more and more as the season continues. I hope he finished the season ahead of Vettel, would be the ultimate humiliation IMHO. Regarding Vettel, I was so glad when he retired the car, any race where he doesn't do well is a success.
Alonso once again being Mr. Consistent, doing good work with an under-performing Ferrari. Kimi had a great race for a change, pity about the double stop costing him a few places.
Happy for Marussia, good moment for them.
Overall an enjoyable weekend, I've always loved Monaco despite the "snore fest" it has been over the last few years. There is an air of excitement that you just don't get anywhere else.
Post race interviews, what a cockup.

Good on Rosberg. Don't like Lewis.Awesome race. Not too much overtaking but nonetheless action.
Glad Nico won, Lewis to go and cry by his mummy tonight or put a dummy in. Kimi unlucky, though he took out of of the Mclarens later so came back to him.
Riccardio man of the race for me, that guy has talent and positive energy around him.
Vettel DNF extra added bonus
Don't know about this Riccardio dude
, but Ricciardo has awesomeness all around him....great driver, great futurewouldn't you call that wasted talent? What if Alonso had that Merc under his ass? Mmm?

Wasted talent to a point, both him and Kimi (and every other talented driver in a non-Merc car at this stage).
I personally believe Alonso is the most talented driver currently in F1, however the dominance of other teams since his move to Ferrari has inhibited his ability to perform at his peak.
There is a visible difference in a legend like Schumi coming second, and even Vettel (and there are others), to that of Lewis.
The former two handle it with grace, even though they may be boiling inside. Lewis behaves like a spoilt brat.

Don't know that I'd agree. Your supposed 'legend' for years drove with an expectation that everyone else should just scoot out of his way, and Vettel looks like his puppy died every time he doesn't win.
Lewis' hair style is atrocious though.
