At a guess they couldn't decide which compound to choose and the discussion between the pit wall upstairs and the mechanics downstairs was too slow.

I think Ricciardo handled that interview very well. Better than I would..

Great race, and a great performance by LH - and kudos to Rosberg/the team for letting LH race for the win... maybe could have been a few laps sooner, but still it was a tough call and will make up a lot for the unfortunate incident in the last race. I thought LH?Merc had maybe made a mistake putting the Ultras on instead of the Soft or Super Softs, but LH made it work brilliantly - very well done to win the race, and great strategy.
A pity for Ricciardo - I thought he was upset at LH and the stewards for not taking action after the incident at Turn 11, but obviously he is considerably more pissed at Red Bull... he is raging, and his comments are going to make for a very uncomfortable atmosphere within the team this evening.

Interestingly, didn't say anything about the block. Unless I missed it.
But I'd be pretty pissed about that pit stop, as well. That's unforgiveable on a world-class team like Red Bull.

Lewis doing his best Jesus pose....people are rediculous lmao. Someone needs to screen shot that frame and send a wall size print to @prisonermonkeys 
To me it's that there was a gap but he was coming at it from an angle and then had the wiggle.
The gap is always there, but Ricciardo is not square onto the straight, he's still coming at an angle from the chicane. Correct decision for me, and he obviously lost time by cutting the chicane, not gaining it, so correct there as well.

Valid points, My issue is with Lewis still steering to the right (obviously to gain traction and not lose time) And Riccardo let of the throttle to avoid contact. Is this legal enough, probably but just about. Bit dirty though in my opinion (you can see the second picture Dan steering more to avoid contact). Would love to hear his opinion on this.

From a teams perspective your right, but not purely from driving. Lewis was 3rd, and was gifted two positions. More luck than driver skill, in my opinion at least.

Agreed. As far as I'm aware, there isn't any rule against forcing a driver onto some wet tarmac.
