I think Rosberg parked it to scupper Lewis.

Just games being played at the moment by Nico. If you can't win fair, win dirty and all that.
It's sad how many drivers behave towards Lewis. Remember Alonso and Button and their tricks.

Same old scene here with Nico by the look of it. They all hate the fact that Lewis is quicker then them, imo.

Define in some cases?

In some cases I can get to the moon, but only when I strap a ducking rocket to my face!

I'm pretty sure strapping a rocket to your face wouldn't get you to the moon.

The stewards investigated and the telemetry showed that there's NOTHING deliberate. The only thing nico is guilty of is his attitude at the end.

No it doesn't - it shows that there is no way to prove that it was deliberate. It's impossible to prove that it wasn't deliberate, just as it's impossible to prove that it was.

However just because you can't PROVE it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Personally I think he meant it, others think he didn't. I'm fine with both opinions. What I'm not fine with is anyone trying to say that anything is absolute proof one way or the other, because that is literally impossible to substantiate.

Well, the word is specifically that it showed no different to the previous lap, save for the braking point. I'd argue that you'd have to be a bloody good driver to really pull that off without leaving any real evidence, to be honest. Ultimately, though, it doesn't really matter anymore. The only thing Hamilton can do about it is go out tomorrow and outrace Nico. I just think, personally, he's making a lot more out of it than he should (the "I was on the pole lap", handle it like Senna, essentially the Senna/Prost rivalry) and a lot of it smacks of mind games from both sides (Rosberg celebrating pole in those circumstances, looking happy about it).


Going back to other matters, did anyone else see that Bianchi was only about six tenths away from the pace of the Saubers? It's really not looking good for Sauber at all this season, and I can't help but wonder if they will spend the rest of the season struggling to get both cars out of Q1, especially if Lotus improve their car and/or Maldonado ups his game.

The lap was different to the previous lap and the video comparisons to show it and the pictures are all over twitter. He moved the wheel unusually

The FIA didn't find enough evidence of any wrongdoing, doesn't mean there wasn't any . They didn't even investigate why he reversed out, only the going in bit.

The only person who really knows the answer is Nico Rosberg, but plenty of neutrals thing it was deliberate.

Indeed he could have, in retrospect should have. But this is Monaco. Lewis generally has the car on the ragged edge to get those extra tenths to secure pole, you wouldn't do that till the last gasp attempt at Monaco because you risk car damage if you get it wrong. Lewis was denied his chance because of Rosbergs 'error'.

BENEDICT'S AT MONACO...GET HIM TO DO THE POST RACE INTERVIEWS! BEST ONE YET IN MALAYSIA

I know what you mean. He still had his chance for 11 minutes prior to the incident and he didn't do it, same as the other eight drivers

You have to love Niki Lauda xD He is being the comedian of F1 all of a sudden

The track was evolving, the margins small. Best chance , go late , go extreme. He didn't get his chance.

From what little I know, everything about F1 is a """calculated""" risk.

[ang4f1]

Martin Brundle has just interviewed Driver/Steward Derek Warwick & mentioned Lewis' 'Senna' comment...DW said ..."It has been noted".....
I wish Lewis would take a leaf out of Kimi's book...& say nowt...His Dad is right...just do your talking on th track....

Agreed. Last is always best for the track being the most rubbered in. I'm trying to push your buttons a bit, and I'm not saying it's just you or insinuating you are acting like this, I must say though some of the stuff I've read makes it seem like the hamilton fans believe he "deserved a chance" almost like more than the rest, but he still had his chance...for the 11 minutes before the incident, so I'm just not buying into the "pity party" I guess is what one might call it lol
