Haven't seen that film for many years, might have to watch it again now.

There was one point where me and a couple of other housemates could quote nearly every line (bloody students).

Maybe your friend can explain how they made a brand new brake disc explode, or how they made a fuel leak start after a lap ? or how they caused a spark plug insulator to fail exactly at the start of a race ?

Just because they have professional jobs doesn't mean they can't think illogically or come up with crackpot theories.
I agree that it is beyond all reason that Toto, or someone else at the top of Mercedes would authorise Lewis's car to be sabotaged.

However, if you think about engineering probabilities for a moment, you might realse that first lap failures throughout the grid are relatively rare events. The engineering probabilities of consecutive first hot lap failures, during Q1 for the same car, on consecutive weekends is very highly improbable.

Perhaps Mercedes should be employing Inspector Clouseau to check the motivations of any mechanic who has had hands on Lewis's car between a successful FP3 and Q1.

There is clearly a bad whiff coming from his side of the garage that needs deeper understanding. The "let Nico pass" message being the latest example that both drivers not being allowed to race as openly as Mercedes GP would have us believe. Clearly, despite coming third, Lewis was very unhappy, at the end of the race.

If both cars were together and unable to pass Fernando, then the obvious strategy would have been to pull them both in for fresh Soft tyres, that Lewis had in abundance.

"this is more than just bad luck"

"why's he not letting me though"
"let Nico through"

"I'm kind of annoyed right now"

Nope, no favouritism at Mercedes. LOL

Yeah, sleep_envy is bang out of order - we're not uptight all the time.

Part of the issue is, Lewis gets a failer, said failer is then investigated and both cars are improved.

This then removes the chance of Nico getting the same issue.

I think Rosberg has greater mechanical sympathy, empathy even, towards his car. He is also pretty much impervious to all of Hamilton's mind games. All of this confirms my long held suspicion that Rosberg is the result of Keke Rosberg and Frank Williams meeting regularly in a secluded east German workshop in the late 80s to construct a relatively convincing part man, part machine automaton who to less trained eyes than mine could be mistaken for an human. Britney and Keke contributed 'organic materials' to the project and Frank worked tirelessly to grow Rosberg's human like outer layer onto his magnesium chassis. Their only mistake really was the unfortunate bleach spillage which left the resulting humanoid with uncharacteristically blonde cranial insulative fibres... oh, and Nic.0 only has a single USB 1.0 socket which means his download speeds are marginally slower than those of Danil Kvy@.
