Both Mercs had similar pace in clean air in the race, a bad Saturday was what did Nico in.

He was a bit grumpy over the radio during the race. Those god dang tyres agean!

US GP weekend had quite a few scratching their heads and wondering where the hell all their speed had gone to.

I do think Lewis needs to think a bit harder about what he says over the radio. He knows anything interesting will be broadcast, and he sometimes sounds just a bit churlish and grumpy.

I think he's got enough to think about without having to self censor everything he says while he's working.

If it had been Kimi saying "Let me focus" there'd be a t-shirt for sale with that quote on it by now.

Well yes, Mercedes do seem to have disappeared off the radar here. But for the first time in a few races we could not accuse Hamilton of being off the pace, thankfully.

His radio grumpiness was nothing unusual in F1, although he did seem to contradict himself with his comments! I can't blame the drivers when they are a bit sharp like that, I can imagine having these monotone drones dribbling in your ear every other minute can be irritating in the same way as someone talking over your favourite television show is, even if they are trying to help. 75% of the things they say seem to be fairly obvious.

Please, don't criticise radio grumpiness. It's one of the few things that makes me smile when I'm watching a GP at the moment........ Although the 'Sebastien, make sure you look after your tires' stuff is beginning to get on my pecs.......

Kimi remarks are cool dont ya know!? Hamilton's comments must have been too 'gangsta' to his team for most... he is a rapper afterall

There was also "I know" and "let me do my thing" (or similar)

I'm with both sides here. On one hand let the bloody drivers get on with it please engineers, and please give them meaningful info not just kids instructions, and on the other, drivers don't whinge down the radio even if you're having a hard time, it just makes you look like a prima donna.

Dragger has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Some drivers prefer constant info updates, and respond sounding like they are just sitting on the couch. Very calm. Others, not so.

Hulkenberg, for instance, sounds like he's looking up from reading a book at the pool. But Hamilton handled it well, apologised after the race while dousing water on those who saw it as a big deal at the same time.

He is spot in there. I'm not sure it needed Lewis to explain that, surely it is obvious to anyone who practices the art of communication.

Just takes a little understanding what the drivers are doing at that moment. So much going on with brake bias, kers release, watching your mirrors, maintaining a 'pace' etc. Its easy to see that some drivers want neccesary info but dont want to be bothered when you have so much going on. Talk about multi-tasking; at 300kmh!

Quite an interesting insight in Ham's regular BBC online piece.

Although I'm not so sure about, "there's a secret language that only us drivers know"...

I felt that Rosberg allowed himself to be intimidated.
He is in a difficult position because Hamilton is always prepared to bang wheels and if he had adopted the approach of a Vettel, Alonso or Hamilton himself toward these tactics neither of them would have finished!
Hamilton would however have known not to do it again!


Rosberg I felt backed out of the approaching contact three times during the Bahrain GP.

Of course we forget Rosberg on Hamilton, Bahrain 2012 (ish). Two very equal drivers IMO.
