I've not read anything confirming what caused it, though I've been locked out of my room for an hour, fucking cleaning ladies 
It looked like the car just spat him out on a downshift, this brake-by-wire/harvesting system is so complex so any part of that could have failed to cause it I guess.

Yeah I've not seen confirmation either, just summonsed it could be a similar issue. Down to setup? Nico doesn't seem to have the trouble, could be the way Lewis prefers it I guess

I can see this being an LH win, barring any fuckups or problems with is car

Commentator summed it up at the chequered flag really, not quite good/fast enough for LH today.

Lewis got bummed in the pits today, but he lost the weekend yesterday!
Fantastic recovery race from Lewis, incredible first lap. Hopefully he's buoyed for next race, he needs a good momentum switch going into summer.

Happy with that result tbh. 9th to 4th in one lap was rather amazing.

Great start but race was a bit dull, wasn't sure the coverage was best seemed to be replaying things whilst missing actual live events on track.

Good race from Lewis, poor stops though and further away again. I can see Nico taking it with ease. At least he hasn't thrown his toys out the pram this time.

All It takes is one Nico retirement and a lewis win for him to be right back in it. Plenty of time yet.
Massive ego boost for lewis today. That start was incredible.

Can see Nico bagging the championship this year too, would love it to be Hamilton but theres always something that goes wrong

It's far from over. Between 1dnf for nico and lewis getting the double points it's truly still there to be won
Looks like all the lucky Vettel had for the last few years is catching up with him. Did he take Marks car this year by mistake?

not surprised it didn't get picked up - I thought the coverage was awful yesterday
They were constantly on catch up getting drivers and having to watch a number of replays before getting the correct details across
Great win for Rosberg - Him and Lewis are so evenly matched so its going to be good all season watching these 2
Lewis seems to be in a better place recently being able to control himself much better
