Leaving the rules out of the mess, I go back to my statement that you can win the race on the first lap.. seems that Jackie Stewart agrees, well and a bit more I guess on his part.

Re: Rosberg Vs Hamilton Spanish gp crash. The debate

Well certainly the race is not won on the 1st of 66 laps, but it can can lost on the 1st as shown today. Really makes not real difference who was at fault at the end of the day, both drivers lost the race prior to the end of the first lap. Poor judgement on both's part.

Re: Bottas Hamilton Accident - Who was at fault?

Again that proves my point, if Bottas can brake that late and still make the apex, why did Rosberg feel he had to go around the corner as slow as he did? Because it would ensure an optimal corner exit for himself. Because it would stop Hamilton's momentum and avoid Hamilton having a go at Rosberg. ...

The theory is simple, Alonso spent 5 years with the scuderia and they were not able to give him a winning car. Either 2nd, 3rd or 4th best. This year is probably the fourth best car and with the engine issues it doesnt look like they're going to catch mercedes anytime soon. No one is, in any other ...
