Of course, he would have nothing to moan about if they tyre choice had worked.

To be fair to him he questioned it over the radio, and was told that the only options left were scrub sets, so he was stuck with prime trying to make up the best part of twenty seconds against a car that had been strong in the long runs all weekend. If we're honest about it, Mercedes' strategy calls have cost Hamilton at the least a chance of getting close to Vettel today - I'm not sure it's really reasonable to expect a competitive champion to be happy about that sort of thing. On the basis of the body language on the podium I'd actually say Hamilton dealt with the defeat pretty well. Rosberg on the other hand ...
On another note I'm really liking Arrivebene a lot, and in spite of not being a Ferrari fan I have always quite liked Vettel. There has been something quite thrilling about the old prancing horse this weekend - especially in qualifying. The car looks stunning.
