And for the people claiming it is not Mercedes' responsibility to give their "Employee" reliable equipment to do his job to the best of his ability, please tell me you guys are not in any position where you manage people and their work.

Surely he is merely calling it how it is, he can't win the WDC with unreliable engines, it's 4 races he has suffered now with engine related problems, 3 of which has gifted Rosberg wins, last time out gifted Rosberg 28 points, against that Rosberg has not had 1 engine failure, he's being let down q...

Speaking of "twisting"... you do a pretty good job of it yourself, souvikbh. The TEAM can accept compliments because THEY won the race... the driver is nothing more than an integral part of the team... a fellow employee. That is especially true in the case of the recent MB teams... as there a fair ...

Well given that Lewis' 2008 championship was very lucky (see what happened to Massa at Hungary and Singapore), I have no complaints. Of course you have no complaints. You know Rosberg is not good enough to win a championship in a straight fight as has been proven the last 2 years, and you are despe...

The media and internet people are being so rubbish with all this. Read Hamilton's comments or watch the video interviews and he appears nothing but thoroughly reasonable about the whole thing. It's a shame so many people are willing to express extremely strong views about something they've not real...

It appears that this thread is yet another place for Lewis fans to make excuses, hint at conspiracies, and whitewash Hamilton mistakes ... while discrediting Nico's accomplishments as being the result of great luck and Mercedes undermining Lewis. forgive me if I am wrong ;) Yes you are wrong!!!!

Oh, Suck it up Cup cake!!! You know as every one else does, he got lucky today. Doesn't matter how he got his other wins. People are talking about today. And the point is he got lucky. Acknowledge it and move on. You have no idea about my thoughts on this, neither do you know much about my thoughts...

How about giving credit where it's due: Rosberg had a fantastic lap that made him fastest, even though he lifted sufficiently under yellows. While be the only one able to put in a lap while the track was at its best. Rosberg wouldn't of even made the front row without the yellows and he needed it b...

Yes, the pole position was always on the dirty side in Suzuka, and Senna saw the effect each time he started from pole, he lost ground to Prost. Both in 88 (though in 88 I think he stalled--I might be wrong) and 89. So why shouldn't he complain about it? He took more risks than Prost in qualifying ...

I have no bias, but thanks for that. You realise that Senna admitted it himself about the accident, right? And do you feel that anyone who feels wronged by the stewards should go out and ram people? Or as you say give them the chance to get out of the way or crash? Do you really feel that he gave P...

All these beliefs about Senna, yet still no one is refuting he didn't work to build championship winning cars outside his 3rd and even then he was on the very best team of the era and it wasn't even close. Competing drivers were able to take the fight to him in lesser cars and the way he edged ahea...

For someone who doesn't intend offence you have a funny way of showing it. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion but you might find conversations progress better when you try not to be quite so inflammatory seemingly out of nowhere. How about trying to debate in a normal manner? I said equipmen...

nico is out of his depth - he is a great pole to finish driver , but very clumsy at precise racecraft best bet is to replace him with a youngster, and do a" red bull dump" half way tru the season Bit of an overreaction don't you think? The guy is leading the championship and very nearly won the rac...

I can't believe how most of you are blinded being Hamilton's worshipper. Hamilton DECIDED to turn in and hit his team mate. It may be Rosberg's fault not to make the turn as normal, but seriously, who hit who(m)? Even worse, his teammate! Are you blinded by your Hamilton hatred to not realize that ...

I was always against such moves to force other cars off the track at a corner, but it has become established practice in the Mercedes team. Nico has to be allowed to do the same thing within the team. Maybe the team will now establish that from now on, they are not permitted to force each other off...

without pointing fingers at today's incident, let's say nico makes the move today and hamilton doesn't hit him, but ends up way off track before he turns right and nico turns right at the last moment staying on track. would that be any different than the current trend of all drivers taking less sha...

Morally Rosberg was in the wrong and Hamilton was in the right. But intellectually, come on guys, even my stupid goldfish knew that if both drivers continued to contest that corner it would end in tears. That was dumb on Hamilton's part to make that collision inevitable, it was going to happen. Not...

I am hearing that Rosberg had trouble with his brakes. That resulted in pushing Hamilton off if that was the case. Then Hamilton came back on track and walloped into the side of Rosberg causing more damage. Is Rosberg to blame for Hamilton coming back on the track hitting Rosberg and causing far mo...

I know reliability has always been an issue in F1. What I can't bear the thought of is Lewis fans forever telling us how Rosberg only won the title because Lewis was unlucky with his car... That doesn't bother me because I believe that Hamilton didn't put in the preparation and time to learn how to...

souvikbh1980

Others might not share my opinion, Rosberg is very good I give him that, but before he got a dominant car he rarely impressed. He impressed on his very first F1 race. I very much liked the big discussions after Monaco 2014 qualifying, but I still don't understand how going up an escape road is chea...

Interface design is a massive part of tech. If Lewis needs to read a manual, they blew the design. If Apple can put 1000 songs in your pocket 15 years ago (First iPod) then surely Merc can create a steering wheel that doesn't need complex input. Interface design is a massive part of consumer tech -...

All I'm getting from this thread is that it's okay if you're on the inside line of a turn to run as wide as you like exiting the turn to force another car off the track. Fine, but it's the same crowd that crucified Rosberg last year at Hungary when he was on the inside line at turn one and drove ac...

As for drivers voicing their frustration about such things, I don't mind it unless it goes over the line. I don't feel that Ricciardo did, and I'd not have had a problem with any driver saying something similar under those circumstances. That must be quite difficult to deal with to begin with, and ...

Ric should be mad at his team and no one else tbh. Lewis did the right thing and the stewards agreed. No leader would ever let someone thru after making a slight error. For me it was an aggressive move after already leaving the track to maintain position, no penalty required but he should given the...

For me, fault = blame = penalty. Since the stewards didn't apportion blame, then no penalty, just like Spa. I just hope the Merc bosses realise that you either go with the stewards or you publicly flog your driver on a consistent basis. Niki Lauda blamed Hamilton just the same way he did Rosberg in...

souvikbh1980

Rosbergs fault. Hamilton was alongside so entitled to space. An easy mistake to make though so I wouldn't give Rosberg a penalty. Except he wasn't alongside. Rosberg was ahead, and entitled to choose his line. Hamilton feeling entitled - not for the first time. Good thing the experts do not agree w...

souvikbh1980

The stewards gave a warning and I'm ok with that. Rosberg fan happy with no penalty. In other news day will indeed follow night. Or maybe it's just that the Lewis fans are unhappy? Or are saying the stewards are Nico fans? That's why this is going to be a long thread and on the other side we have a...
