Nah, currently good for a podium or 4th at least.

 

[Willie Trombone]

That's it for Hamilton
Sucks! Mercedes lets him down again. Short of failure, this is Rosbergs championship. Signed and sealed.

Go Ricciardo!!!

Merc scoring a lot of own goals this season.

Rosberg has the luck of the devil...

there's 125 points still up for grabs. I wouldn't call it just yet

No, I agree, though Hamilton will need to get lucky / Rosberg unlucky IMO.

How's this for a stat...
43 power units from Mercedes have been on the grid this year.
Every one that's failed has been on Hamiltons car.
The one that went today had one race and it was turned down when it went bang. Can't get worse luck than that.

Mmmmmm more than just a coincidence?

I'm inclined to speculate in that direction myself.

Ironic that the engines are made in the UK

Another driver that once had the same problems as Hamilton in the past was Sato in the BAR. Eventually he was reprimanded by the team for abuse of the car.

I think Lewis is popping the engines by himself because he wants out from the team. He knows he has the speed to go elsewhere and help develop a car with another team while Merc keeps it all German with Rosberg and Werhlein.

Top class racing, superb excitement......well done RBR.

Thoroughly enjoyed race, especially from lap 41 onwards .

Was hoping Max would give Dan a better chase but was not to be, not Vettel's best race.

Good drive McLarens to finish both in the points.

Would they really sabotage there own team at the home race of the major sponsor?

That said, you make your own luck, so all of this is good Luck for who?

Damn, I love conspiracy theories

Ive suspected there's one or more mechanics who either don't like him or have an interest in seeing his cheating teammate win.

Nah, this is not a BAR and the wick was well down when it blew... and it had done one race...

Hamilton is hard on his car.
