Re: The Official Lewis Hamilton thread

Who actually is claiming he is a peacemaker anyway? He is a racing driver, he was annoyed at himself for under-performing, I personally would only be concerned if someone else was hurt.

Re: Hamilton vs rosberg. Part 265

If it were earlier in the race it would be reasonable to suggest he would have got a drive through penalty, which would have affected his final position. Blue on blue seems to be the get off. Are we waiting for a blue on blue to cause injury before the stewards realise they have to penalise the act,...

Re: Hamilton vs rosberg. Part 265

Inclined to agree, LH doesn't seem to seek contact, when it did occur in Spain he was out of control. I think he is confident in his ability to beat Nico with his car intact.
Incidentally, have you noticed every time LH and NR have an incident Rosberg always says, "I was very surprised by the move".

Re: Hamilton vs rosberg. Part 265

I didn't bother checking their reasoning. There is a rule against deliberately forcing another driver off the track. I've not been in favour of that ever since Hamilton started it, and then with Mercedes accepting it, Rosberg had to do the same thing. My real issue is with Mercedes and them accepti...

Re: Hamilton vs rosberg. Part 265

I don't really understand the debate here... It's fairly black and white, you have to leave a cars width, Rosberg didn't do that and caused a collision. The stewards saw it that way, and I haven't seen any other former driver that has called it any other way either. You can debate the intention beh...

Re: Austrian GP Qualifying and Race Thread

As I have said many times, what Nico did was wrong. My points are that had Hamilton kept going and moved off the track beyond the white lines, then no crash would have happened. Should Lewis have had to do this in a race? No. It's wrong. Comparing it to the US race start is useful because had Nico ...

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.

Rosberg has learned well from Hamilton and Mercedes. This was bound to happen because Rosberg was forced to act the same way as Hamilton.

Anyone understand the grid penalty application? Rosberg only drops 4 places. Maybe because Vettel also has 5 places. I think it works like this: Rosberg 2 + 5 = 7. Vettel 4+5=9. But because 1 car (Vettel) is gone from 4th place, Rosberg actually starts 6th. My understanding was Vettel's penalty was...
