[What's Burning?]

No it's not ok, if you don't like it, you don't have to comment on it. You're choosing to be argumentative and combative simply to give someone a hard time. STOP IT, frankly it's annoying.

Apologies for asking where some info came from.

So the world is all about you? You were being condescending and someone doesn't have to write in a style to appease your bugbears on this forum.

Go f@king celebrate the Vettel win, you're exhausting dude.

No penalty for Rosberg on the Hamilton issue.

Wonder what would've happened if Hamilton had run two cars of the road in one race.

[racechick]

Yes that crossed my mind. I dont think the verdicts in on the Alonso one but according to Herbet the Hamilton one was much worse. I think the fact he did it twice should have some bearing

[What's Burning?]

That's pretty pathetic, not even a reprimand.

[racechick]

Here are the rulings, they dont say much really.

Rosberg does seem to get away with infractions, this isn't the first time he has gotten away with things that someone like Hamilton would have gotten hammered for!

Hamilton indeed would most likely have got blasted if he pushed everyone off the track like Nico did today.

NR didn't force anybody off the track since both LH and FA were BEHIND him when he moved towards the edge of the track. It was LH's choice to pursue his original plan and venture out on an agricultural excursion - he didn't have to, he could have done what FA did in the same situation, i.e., back off and stay on track. I agree with the stewards' decision. This is racing at the pinnacle of motorsports and not some nanny fou-fou motoring!

By the time LH was off the track he was alongside.

That has no bearing - his delta speed was enough to pull him along side once he left the track, but NR pulled his move while he was ahead of LH and that counts.

It was still a bit vicious though, you must admit!

I think I'm buying the explanation that he couldn't see where LH (or FA) were exactly, so he took his defensive line and hoped for the best (and was surprised by LH overtaking off track ).

Under the current rules, a driver can make one defensive move and has to allow a car's width, something Rosberg did not do... lack of consistentcy on the part of the stewards, I have seen lesser infractions punished, either just let the drivers race or punish everyone equally, no shades of grey, did a driver break the rule as written, yes? hand down the appropriate punishment!

And what if there was a contact? It would be different?
