Haha! I guess you never watched the season in which LH first entered F1. He's definitely more likeable now!
That's a fair point. I was thinking of Lewis and Seb during the past 3 or 4 years. I've been watching every F1 season since I was a kid. Hard to believe that LH's rookie season was 7 years ago now. I still think of him as a relatively young driver.
I only answer to my username, my real name is Irrelevant!

Part of me thinks that F1 management had some backroom deals with Mercedes when they were dreaming up the rule changes.
This
it was pretty much set the last year/two that Merc bought this season
and getting away with the testing last year pretty much confirmed it for me
Oh they get watches again this year or were they putting on their own?
50+ second lead -_- wtf
Lol, it felt like I was waiting forever before I saw Ricciardo finally cross the finish line & I couldn't believe it when I saw the silver arrows pass Raikonen near the end of the race.
I was hoping Rosberg would catch & pass Hamilton though.
^ Rosberg is a very skillful driver who can drive fast laps. He was faster at Bahrain and Spain but doesn't have the killer instinct to pass. From what I have been reading, it seems like Rosberg is benefitting allot from analyzing Hamilton's data.

Rosberg not gonna get penalized, guy shouldn't have been celebrating the way he did
something like the last 9/10 races in Monaco has been won by the pole, and the 1/10 is Hamilton so theres hope
inb4 first turn crash though, now that would be crazy

Nico Rosberg has retained pole position for Sunday's race in Monaco after the stewards decided that his off-track moment during the third and final part of qualifying did not require further action.
The Mercedes driver faced investigation after sliding down the escape road at Turn 5 (Mirabeau) during his final flying lap, bringing out yellow flags that prevented those behind - including team mate Lewis Hamilton - from improving.
Rosberg held provisional pole at the time of the incident, with his first run having produced a lap just five-hundredths of a second faster than Hamilton's.
Rosberg subsequently apologised for his mistake, while Hamilton insisted he had been "on target" to beat the German to pole before being forced to abandon his lap.
"The stewards examined video and telemetry data from the team and FIA and could find no evidence of any offence related to the turn 5 incident," read a statement from the stewards.
