This.

I am mystified at the rationale of this call, for any reason whatsoever. (1) He was in the lead (2) his tires weren't gone (3) he was under no threat from his second place teammate and if he was (4) team orders would have quashed that threat and in any event (5) its impossible to pass at Monaco.

It reminded me of Monaco '92, when Senna, in a slower McLaren, on clapped out tires he started the race with, held off Mansell in a far superior FW14B on fresh rubber for many laps and a win:

Ham's no Senna, and his little post race pout(s) continue his descent into becoming F1's Kardashian.

But he did get hosed today by his own team for no apparent reason or fault of his own.
