Lauda speaks

I'm with Monty - Hamilton should take some lessons from Kimi on how to behaved p*ssed off on camera.  Now that's character. 

Hamilton has it down when things go well.  He's effusive with praise without feeling scripted, he's genial and seems like a great guy.  He's an excited and pleasant winner.  Kimi and Vettel could certainly learn from him in that regard.

Of course, I don't want to see Kimi changed, and even Vettel being arrogant brings a flavour to f1 characters

F1 Fanatic has a report that suggests that when Hamilton saw Rosberg's data stream from qually, he became more convinced that Nico jobbed him.

Having watched all of quali and the race now in more detail, it's clear that Nico was working the steering wheel well in advance of when he needed to make that corner. It would be interesting to see a side-by-side comparison of his pole lap going into that corner and the crash-lap at the same place - but having seen them both I'm more convinced he did it on purpose. Stoopid Sky for not doing that comparison.

In fact I think he got his crash a bit wrong, and didn't quite lose it enough to spin.  Once he got into the escape road he could have quite easily driven right to the end of it, but no, he thought for a bit then reversed! That adds fuel to the fire surely.

They compared Rosberg's pole and mistake laps on the BBC's coverage, and I saw exactly what you've described, but I still don't think that Rosberg did it on purpose.
