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. ...

Problem with that section of LS... is dirt, the bikes dug into it and performed cartwheels instead of sliding. Hard to not have injuries with flying bikes. Very sad indeed.

I put Verstappen because I think he was very unlucky with his accident. Grosjean braked much earlier than normal and caught him out, but I don't think it was a reckless move, just unfortunate. Up until then he was the most exciting driver on track. Agree, was quite aggressive and willing to race. I...

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 ...

I can't see it unless Marquez falls off and gets injured. Even then Pedrosa would have to beat a slightly off-form Lorenzo and a resurgent Rossi. I just don't think he quite has it in him.
