Its official. Hamilton is getting sabotaged by his own team. Unreal.
 
Yep it's ridiculous. He has nothing left to accomplish in F1 he should go to NASCAR or run Le Mans
 
Looks like we are finally going to have Rosberg/Hamilton battle, if Hamilton can get through the traffic
 
Could be the start of good day for me. Nico on his way to winning and Martial just put United up 1-0.
 
Nico with the grand chelem as well...

What a weekend and makes this even worse for Lewis is that Spain and Monaco are next... By far Nico's best tracks.
 
So maybe they'll quit sabotaging Lewis and let him race for the win now?

Sabotage?

Weirder things have happened. Ask Mark Webber about all the weird stuff that happened to him. Lewis will be fine, but if these issues keep popping up, I would definitely raise an eyebrow. Remember, by this time last year Nico had a bizzare throttle issue that forced him to retire.

In NASCAR that kind of conspiracy stuff is laughable, in F1, not so much. Webber was most assuredly sabotaged by Red Bull because Vettel was there #1 driver. Literally Vettel never had a single issue and Webber always had something. Once or twice is an accident, this is the 5th or 6th issue Lewis has had this season. And after clinching the title last season he was all of a sudden a second place car and can't even run with his teammate. :rolleyes:. That's like Kimi all of a sudden beating Vettel 7 times in a row and Vettel has mysterious ailments every week
 
Hamilton's had two consecutive race weekends with mechanical issues, which isn't anything crazy. The first two races were just having somewhat poor starts and getting hit by Bottas as a result in the second. He'll be fine.

Nico has been getting priority since Hamilton clinched the championships with like 3 races to go. There is something going on.

Those were all Mercedes 1-2 results. Maybe Nico was more motivated to finish strong and bring momentum into the offseason, maybe Hamilton wasn't as driven knowing that he already had the title. It wasn't like there were mechanical issues or the pit strategy was questionable.
 
Hamilton - sabotage
Vettel - bad luck


Funny how that works.


This is a stupid post. Vettel isn't conveniently having problems last round of qualifying while his teammate is winning poles and races. Lewis has proven he's the superior driver his whole career so we know it's something going on. Nico isn't a 7 win in a row type driver without some kind of shenanigans being pulled.

Vettel has had the same number of mechanical issues this year as Lewis has. And unlike Lewis, one actually prevented him from finishing (and even lining up on the grid).

Things change.

Lewis was getting lapped for years by Vettel before he lucked his way into good equipment.

Fact is, Nico is performing better right now than Lewis has in his entire career. Lewis is a sore loser, like his fans.
 
The idea that a F1 team would sabatage one of their cars is ridiculous.
For sure team orders happen, but even with that the goal is to finish 1st and 2nd. Which leaves no room for prepping for a bad race.

Things have just went better for Nico recently, and any poisonous suggestion otherwise within the team should warrant discipline.
 
I think in the end Hamilton still has more speed than Nico and will win another championship this year.
Still there is nothing sinister about Nico's recent dominantion.

Hamilton and Nico should be absolutely thriled with the equipment. One of them is virtually guaranteed the championship and they will probably win 80 percent of the races.
Most likely one of them will win half of the races this year.

Hamilton is arguably the best current driver in F1, but not that much better than Vettel.
Life is good for him, it is a situation to envy.

Almost embarrassing to write something so obvious. Just felt the need to say it after reading some of the other sabatage sympathy he is getting.
