I don't mind him winning. But if his "winning tradition" was popping a blister every time he won, would you still be so willing to let it go on?

http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12517/11380520/monaco-gp-lewis-hamilton-calls-for-changes-to-monte-carlo-circuit Monaco GP: Lewis Hamilton calls for changes to Monte Carlo circuit "It wasn't really racing...Monaco has the biggest build-up and is the most special race of the season and it is just a shame that the race isn't as exciting," Hamilton says On this SKY vote link 93% are in agreement with LH. A few changes to make Monaco live up to the 'hype' during the build up to the race. It should be a better race overall.
Ocon yielded to Hamilton on Mercedes' orders! Michael Delaney 28/05/2018 at 10:35 Esteban Ocon offered no form of resistance to Lewis Hamilton when the Mercedes driver overtook the Force India early on in the Monaco Grand Prix, and we now know why. Hamilton was the first of the front-runners to pit for fresh tyres yesterday, rejoining the race on lap 12 sixth, just behind Ocon. The current leader of the world championship breezed by the Frenchman however two laps later as the pair exited the tunnel. Questioned on the move after the race by Sky Italia and asked if he had perhaps "made life too easy" for the Mercedes driver, Ocon hinted that an order had come into play. "I'm a Mercedes driver, you should ask the boss," Ocon replied. "It was pointless to fight with him, especially as he had new tyres," he added. Asked if there is an 'unwritten rule' that Force India not make life difficult for Mercedes, Ocon answered: "Maybe." Indeed, a reporter from Belgian newspaper La Dernière Heure put the question to Toto Wolff himself, the Silver Arrows boss admitting Ocon had been ordered to yield to Hamilton. "Yes, because that's the way it is," said Wolff!
So two years ago at the very same track Nico let him past when it was impossible to pass, RB let him past when they screwed Riccis pit stop, Ricci was not able to overtake with a faster car because of the characteristics of the track and the FIA let him get away with cutting the chicane....but I do not remember him complaining about the GP back then!!! He asks to be respected for his accomplishments but at the same time he talks down other people's victory as "not a race"...if he would have managed to nurse to car home like Ricci did he and his fans would have made it sound like the 8th world wonder... and then some people are really wondering why he is so disliked over here...

I guess there are much more of them... most likely they are not posting anymore because of all the nonsense. Just as I guess that more members like him than the handful of hard-core fanboys who want to shove his "greatness" down our throat at every possible occasion Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
I understand the 'self serving' nature of F1 pilots. Yet FA is saying the same things. The race was boring. I think an honest assessment is just that. We had F1 cars unable to use their power or agility to race for more than a few laps. Monaco is glam. Its not much of a race unless there is a crash. Sorry but that is not a good formula for racing at all.
https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/136355/red-bull-wouldve-let-ricciardo-engine-fail Christian Horner refused to let the Red Bull Formula 1 team retire Daniel Ricciardo from the lead of the Monaco Grand Prix even if it meant his engine failed. An MGU-K failure early in the race meant Ricciardo lost 120kW (roughly 160bhp) of power from the energy recovery component, and he was forced to manage extreme rear brake temperatures and avoid using seventh or eighth gear. Red Bull considered getting Ricciardo to retire but Horner explained later he was adamant it needed to continue even though that decision carried a significant risk. "He reported a sudden loss of power, and the engine guys could see from the data that the MGU-K had stopped completely," said Horner. "At that point there was talk in the background of retiring the car. Image Unavailable, Please Login How Ricciardo eclipsed a Schumacher classic "With the potential damage with the MGU-K, it can go into the [combustion] engine and then it's a whole load of other problems. "My position was 'we're leading the Monaco Grand Prix, we'll run until this engine stops'." The MGU-K harvests energy under braking and is fundamental to the performance of the whole ERS package. Losing its assistance puts more duress on the rear brakes, and Horner revealed the rear brake temperatures rose so much in the immediate aftermath of the MGU-K failure that they were "not far off going on fire". To combat this Ricciardo shifted the brake bias of his Red Bull forward by "6-7%", three times as much as might be shifted during a normal race, and employed more lift-and-cost into corners.
