It looks as if Mercedes and not Lewis made a big mistake by bringing Hamilton in a lap later than originally scheduled, which possibly cost Lewis the win in Brazil.

Excuse me? He spun while pushing. How is that not his fault? Isn't he a top f1 driver who knows how much he can push under given conditions? I guess according to you he is not and needs to be told everything in order to function properly...
Mercedes made a wrong stratgy call, expecting Lewis to stay on the road, which he failed.

I'm not saying that it wasn't Hamilton's fault for spinning, but it seems that Toto Wolff realizes that it may have beeb avioded. The team asked Lewis to extend Hammer Time for 2 laps, instead of pitting him as originally scheduled. Wolff admits that the team had made the wrong call to have Lewis stay out for another lap, and said, " in hindsight we should have pitted him."

Lewis told everything in order to function.....really. I don't think that Hamilton has ever asked any race engineer, as Rosberg requested from Tony Ross during practice at Monza, " Give me driving Instructions."

I've explained it here: http://www.f1zone.net/news/nico-wins-le ... iew/44413/

Hamilton was told to push, as usual, for his one extra lap. But because of his pace, Mercedes kept him out. Pretty simple. A slight miscommunication you could say.
