I'm just gonna leave this here

He f**ked up and got a drive through.

What did Rosberg get? Free 18 points over his WDC contender.

I don't see how that video helps anyone's case in anyway.

I'm just throwing it out there for the folks calling for rosberg to be banned and/or fired. Dude made the same mistake we've seen dozens of times from other drivers better and worse over the years.

I agree that rosberg deserves punishment for his offense now that he admitted he chose not to avoid the accident. However, at the time of the incident, I saw it as a racing incident. He misjudged the placement of his nose by a foot which is easy to do in racing. Hamilton/massa singapore incident seemed a lot more 'avoidable' or blatant relative to rosberg/hamilton incident yesterday (until it rosberg's 'confession' came to light) so I think it's understandable to see why the stewards chose to consider it a race incident at the time of the incident.

Hamilton did not admit that he could've avoided Massa's rear but chose not to. I'd imagine this is the reason that some are calling for Rosberg to be heavily punished and not because of the actual incident.

Anyway as mentioned above, Hamilton was given a drive through and that was the least Rosberg deserved.

The video serves no purpose. Also don't forget it happened during a night race where proximity is much tougher to judge due to reflection.

[geetface9]

sorry, didn't see your post before I posted my edit

video serves the purpose of showing hamilton fans that he's not infallible as many would have us all believe.

[LH44]

Not many disputed that Lewis was guilty there. He was, was duly punished and not to mention he was not in direct competition with Massa. Racing in Singapore under light conditions and the corner the incident happened are all totally different to Spa. There are not many any parallels here with the Rosberg incident and to suggest otherwise would be stretching it. I don't know why some of you insist on clinging on to this perception that Hamilton fans think he's without his faults.

You're the only one that seems to accept that he isn't god so

Ryry, I disagree.

No matter if he's on the racing line or not, Massa was ahead. It was Hamilton's responsibility to make sure he is properly alongside to challenge and he wasn't. He tagged Massa's rear wheel and it was a screw up.

The point is he was penalized for it. I don't understand how Rosberg is given a free pass by the stewards OVER and OVER again. Claimed a free pole in Monaco through his mistake, and claimed a massive advantage in the WDC with yet another screw up which even pissed off his own bosses.

The goddamn sport is fixed.

Massa was ahead but Lewis still had the racing line and was 80% along side at turn in point turned in when he should have, in my opinion that was a racing incident because Massa wasn't going to make the corner and Lewis didn't do anything wrong. On the apex of the corner Massas car twitches with the rear stepping out just before impact which if that didn't happen I'm not sure Massa would have got a puncture.

I agree Rosberg should be penalized for sure.

Hamilton was rightly penalised in Singapore, and Rosberg should have been on Sunday. Imo the main reason he wasnt is stewards dont usually get involved with collisions between team mates. They also didnt investigate Hulk/Perez in Hungary for example.

...it's a good idea to be bothered reading around, rather than sticking only to favoured sources, that way you have more facts and views to think about before arriving at your own considered opinion on all sorts of topics.

My well rounded reading can do without plagiarists or those that have been proven wrong yet refuse to apologize or retract.

Lots of people write inaccuracies and refuse to retract. Lots of people also use a variety of sources to acquire material. Like the judge, these people also write interesting and original things, it's not always wise to throw the baby out with the bath water.

You are not making any sense, you post a video showing Lewis in a similar move that resulted in a drive through. Nico is admitting he purposefully created the same potential scenario that would have earned a penalty had the stewards known.

But apart from posting a video that works against Nico all you can conclude is everyone else thinks Lewis is God?? But you are to be forgiven for displaying the reasoning ability of a 5 year old because you are having a few drinks

[geetface9]

I'm not even drinking, I'm at work not that that's ever stopped me I'm just making generalizations like all the rosberg detractors since that seems to be a trend for them. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em ROSBERG WILL NEVER WALK ALONE

WE WILL BE HERE TO DEFEND HIM ALWAYS NO MATTER WHAT!!

And it is the same thing with Nico and as usual, Nico gets...nothing as a form of punishment. Nico took a risk and I feared it would cause some problems and it made a big massive one. The FIA make me sick at times, they will penalise Lewis for what happened in Singapore nearly three years ago but when Nico does it and COULD'VE (and should've) backed off, racing incident or not, Nico should've got some form of penalty

Ok its been a couple of days, so I thought id post now its all died down (lolz).

Great race - loved the last few laps between Mags / Vettle / Button and Alonso. Pity Mags got demoted.

As for the start:

1) Excellent get away by Ham. Rosberg sure isnt very good at making poles work for him
2) Rsoberg screwed up. Clumsy move. But all this talk of him getting penalised is a bit much. And as for admitting deliberately crashing - except for Hamilton, I've yet so see anyone else collaborate that claim - have I missed something?
3) Why did Hamilton have to go all Banzai to get back to the pits? I know he was a LONG way from home. But was it really worth eating most his floor away?
4) Cuckled at the fact Lewis' tyre remains got caught up in Rosbergs aerial. A
5) What happened to the fella in the Catherham - I know he retired early - but for what reason, and will they refund him his money?

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

The Caterham stopped, think it they said it was an electrical problem

Not sure it was a pity - Magnussen shoved Alonso off the track, it was a dangerous move and he was penalised. I remember Schumacher doing similar to Barrichello at Hungary a few years ago and there was outrage about it. The only difference is at Spa there was a few metres of grass between the track and barrier

1) luckily he isn't as bad at starts as webber
2) indeed. I can understand the outcry for a drive thru. some of the outcry for him to be outright sacked tho...some people need to get a grip!! but ya hamilton's wording was clinical. He knew what to say and how to say it to get the hamilton camp storming against rosberg when he said, "[nico] basically said he did it on purpose." Any time anybody says something along the lines of "they basically said" you know that whatever they're about to say is put in a way for their own benefit in some way
4) I had a giggle about that myself! I thought that was a little bit of karma from the contact
5) yeah some sort of electrical problem. I think lotterer said all the electrical systems just shut off. I believe the same thing happened to pastor at the end of the first lap. Not sure if he'll get a refund
