So you're implying the good clutch was not available to Hamilton just to be mean? Maybe Rosberg just made the better choice in that regard. Remember, Mercedes may run on German money but it's still a mostly british team. I wouldn't expect much internal favouritism for Rosberg who is really a Monegasque anyway.
