Hamilton has the fastest car on the grid and gives up right away, just like a child. He's been off for a month and can't even bother to complete the race. Or state his true reasons on the radio instead of coming up with that engine nonsense.
Then he twists Rosberg's words after the race just like a child would. Pathetic.
Villeneuve was right (see link below), they snag these children off the lower formulae and put them into F1 cars before they have developed a personality and character. The championship battle between Massa and Hamilton in 2008 was like a game of musical chairs at best. Sigh...

Actually if you look at the lap chart, Hamilton was never catching up with the field. After his tires were puncture, he also damaged his floor and rear aerodynamics. His lap times were never like several races before with a perfect car and catching up 2-3 seconds a lap.
Well, lets put it this way, you were in a lead, and your teammate came up to ur rear and slide your tires with a move that's never going to stick. I'm sure you'll be pissed, and when you have a damaged car with no other lucks (weather, safety car, etc), and not catching up at all. I don't really see the point if you keep taking life out of the power unit with no gain, and most likely HAM will have a more dominant car in the race afterwards.
I can tell why HAM took ROS "reasoning" as "intentional". To him, this is personal. With this half ass overtake maneuver, to try to make a point? This is stupid IMO in this case.
