I gave a warning earlier in the thread that it was to not discuss the details, or the ins and outs of the Monaco incident. Whether Rosberg was guilty or not or the circumstances of the incident are not to be discussed here. The only way in which the Monaco incident is relevant is whether or not it ...

i wonder if anyone dares to run a less advanced version... Yeah I was wondering this. Suppose they just disconnect the front-rear link, as it were? Or some other parts? The stewards would have a helluva job unravelling how a hydraulic system is a moveable aero device while springs and dampers aren'...

Chaincase

The tyre load data may very well have shown he could have made the corner late but he didn't want to risk it going into the barrier so he sensibly went up the escape road to avoid that situation from possibly happening. It was a split second decision, he didn't know if he'd make the corner at the t...

Mark Hughes reported his opinion that Rosberg was guilty. Hughes believed that the stewards hadn't seen all the car data that could have been available to them. However the stewards had seen enough to decide that it was a mistake only. That's all that matters at the end of the day. Everyone claimin...

Strawman is pretending someone is arguing something they're not. You accused me of using strawman, as part of trying to pretend you're not treating the stewards as infallible when you brazenly are doing exactly that. OK, so you've looked up the definition of using a straw man. Now you understand th...

If messing up qualyfing is looking desperate is be worried for Lewis right now. Though I agree, neither will mess it up, they will either be outperformed or have bad luck & to be honest at this stage I think it could be either of them. Well let's say half of us think it was deliberate in Monaco. Th...

That's the exact same pictures. He moves his left thumb a split second before he goes to pull for 6th (or whatever gear he was aiming for). T4 in Brazil is a 5th gear corner, at least it was back then. He had already shifted down to 5th before he started turning, then he moved his left thumb and we...

The video I posted is very clear as well, he pressed something. The pit limiter was on the part of the steering wheel. That's why most people drew the same conclusion. The FOM DVD shows exactly the same pictures. As I said the FOM video shows it with the correct sound, and from earlier. That's how ...

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3a1eb_was-it-an-error_news The above video clearly shows Hamilton pressing something on the left hand side of the steering wheel. The pit limiter was where his thumb was. McLaren claimed it was a gearbox issue, 'probably hydraulical' in their own words but they cou...

Nothing to do with which driver it is. A choke is a choke. Every top driver has choked a great chance at some point. You can hardly talk about anyone baiting either. It's everything to do with which driver, that's why other driver's perfectly ordinary mistakes don't get called 'choking'. It's easy ...

Chaincase

I will always and ever believe the "mysterious malfunction" was Hamilton hitting the pit limiter. I'd want to see the raw data, coupled with graphs and a team of engineering experts explaining what exactly happened for me to be convinced that it wasn't. You can believe what you like of course. The ...

Hamilton has already choked this year when the going got tough. Twice in Qualifying, luckily for him, at Silverstone and before that in Austria. So it isn't unfeasible that he could do the same later on in the year but during the race itself. Hmmm, you have made me think Laura. There is in fact a h...

But more to the point, yes, Hamilton did choke in Brazil: He went nuts when Alonso passed him at turn one (when he could have just tucked in behind the three leaders and sailed home to a WDC), locked up, lost places, was way aggressive in trying to make up the lost places, beat the crap out of his ...

Hamilton was alongside him. Vettel didn't give him enough room. In that situation he should be leaving at least a car's width on the exit. All Vettel's fault and he should have got a penalty. They only have to leave a car's width on corner entry , if they've previously moved to cover the inside. It...

Chaincase

Vettel should have got a penalty for "causing an avoidable collision". He tried to run his car run out to the left as if Hamilton wasn't even there. Glad that Hamilton didn't back down and showed him who's boss. Which is quite similar to what Hamilton did to Rosberg in a more agressive fashion in B...

I can guarantee if the roles were reversed no Hamilton fan would have said it was too aggressive. Pointless comments like that aside, I don't even see why this needs a topic. It was a nothing incident. I mean, people want the drivers to race yet want to talk about small things like this? Make up yo...

its called racing, not driving quickly around tracks. I consider "elbowing" part of racing. If it had been a move with a realistic chance of keeping Hamilton behind by running him wide I wouldn't mind, but he'd been fending Hamilton off and knew where he was, and IMO knew that Lewis had too much sp...

Tempted to vote for Katherine Legge just for being alive.

Going to be quite annoying for the less popular drivers to be passed like that...

Chaincase

If that's too aggressive, then both Vettel and Alonso should be banned for the rest of the season for their driving later in the race. Nothing wrong with Hamilton's overtake, he took the initiative because Vettel had a poor start, didn't put his car anywhere particularly dangerous, and gave plenty ...

Chaincase

It was a bit Seb to make that contact. He's okay on track mostly, but those little sideways moves when the place is lost always seem a bit spiteful to me. It was beautifully set up by Lewis, over 3 corners. It was as though Vettel resented being outmanoeuvred, like he resented Nando's brilliant pass...

Chaincase

Seems to me once you have hydraulics, sensors and the means to adjust the Front and Rear suspension, it may not be essential to Interconnect them. In fact in many situations like dive and squat you specifically would want NOT to connect front to rear. So with the various bits of news posted in this ...

This ferrari is a pain in the donkey Nando was talking about his rear wing stalling wasn't he, in the race.

Lol, in the same post you quote the stewards' finding as definitive and then say my pointing this out is strawman. What is strawman is pretending we have to be direct witnesses to know anything. Very fake argument. I don't think you understand what a straw man really means. "Pretending we have to b...

There is some good, credible evidence that Rosberg cheated, as I posted up the thread. "I heard somebody heard from a respectable source that X and Y and such and so". Sorry but no. You still don't know what exactly the stewards see or didn't see. It's irrelevant. They judged and did not find him g...

No. I think these theories take the idiot award. Personally I didnt buy into the Rosberg is cheating line in Monaco. But obviously the stewards saw enough to investigate and if the BBC/Sky/F1 reporters are to be believed a large contingent from the pits also bought into the cheating line. So this s...

Yeah surprises me too. I guess it's a big adjustment for a young guy to make. Well they're pretty much all more likeable at 30 than when they start I'd say. And the social side is important, as I think Di Resta found as well.

Chaincase

I think Bottas is getting to the end of his rookie phase now and starting to look like what Frank was expecting. This might undermine Felipe of course. If it doesn't then I'm going with Williams. They have a general car advantage as we saw in Silverstone, and are getting up to speed with their proce...

Whew well that doesn't sound like such a disaster after all. But then, why is Charlie behaving like this?

Chaincase

I wasn't there, but perhaps you know what questions Warwick and his colleagues asked Rosberg? What evidence of cheating was there in Monaco? Going up an escape road, so the track wouldn't be blocked? The decision to go for another attempt at Silverstone was Rosberg's. Just as Hamilton decided that ...
