I can’t see Lewis being on a stupid strategy tbh. I think he just found all of the time at the hairpin by taking a way tighter line than everyone else and not getting owned by the track breaking up. He wasn’t as quick as he should have been in S1 and S2 if he had a fuel load as small as everyone thinks. He just made so much time in S3 I find it difficult to believe that it was anything other than him accounting for the lap time.

For sure he’s not heavy, but I think he’s likely to be on a sensible strategy.

 
I think it might be a little to do with fuel, but Lewis was on fire. After he locked up, I thought he lost it but when he crossed the line he had 6 tenths. So that lock-up showed just how hard he was pushing and probably didn't affect him that much or everybody else wasn't aggressive enough.
 
Maybe the reason Hamilton may be low on fuel is that Mercedes expects a safety car and somehow starting the car with low fuel will go hand and hand with a safety car period

Quite the opposite - with safety-car periods, it's usually better to be heavier-fueled. The lower fuel-consumption under safety-car periods, coupled with lower tyre-wear, will allow you to switch over to a one-stop strategy, with none of the usual drawbacks to one-stopping. Usually, that'd mean that by the time you've stopped, others have built up enough of a gap - not so under safety-car periods, where your opponents stay pinned to their place.

Are you sure?

If it weren't for Monaco, his season hasn't been anything else but fail...

First ever race, aged 19 years 340ish days, qualifies P7, finishes P8, Youngest person ever to score a world championship point.
Fuji, Running 3rd until incident
Shanghai, finished P4
Monaco, Starts 19th, finishes 5th, on a track he is new to, in the rain.
His previous results this season were in the 07 car, and he was literally taken out of the race by another incident he couldn't avoid. In my opinion he will be just as good as lewis, given a year or two and a decent car. Hence my signature.

Of yesterdays incident, I have only seen pictures but it looks like he overdid it slightly on the left hander after the chicane and walled it(purely his fault). Hamilton came VERY close to doing this several times, as did others.

He hasn't even been given a chance to qualify in the STR3 yet, so give him to next race and we'l see what he can do, hopefully.
 
Sutil did a modern iteration of Senna in 84 last race, he deserves a better drive.
 
Nice spot to watch the race:

Hamilton pulling away. he has to hit that bloody champions wall some time soon.
 
OK, the guy doesn't even know how to drive on the pit lane. How about a protest from Ferrari, like was done by Force India last time?
