Need to find the video

Whilst I'm all for free speech, this poll only needed one option.

Silly move by Nico, especially with a brake by wire issue.

Nico given 10 second penalty for causing an accident, and 2 penalty points for finishing the race with an unsafe car.
It doesn't change the result as he was over 10 seconds in front of Ricciardo

Then that's a farce. No penalty at all really. Nice to see the stewards bottled it again.

what a joke , and no doubt puts a smile on nico's face - I hope Hamilton destroys you at Silverstone

My initial view was that he left his braking too late, after reviewing it a few times I think he left it as late as possible to turn in in order to force Lewis wide and not give him a chance to go around the outside. I don't see it as a lot different to when drivers force eachother off on the exit of corners and think it deserves to be punished.

I think that losing 2 positions and, including the 10 second penalty, around 30 seconds in total is fitting punishment.

I tuned in for the last few laps and caught the incident. Rosberg preventing Hamilton rejoining is where the line was crossed for me. I'm not a fan of drivers pushing each other off on the outside of a corner but it's become accepted by default really at some corners.

I'm surprised at the leniency of the stewards on this one. As ever, dangerous driving gets punished much more severely when it results in a serious accident. For example Grosjean at Spa vs Maldonado at Monaco. When the other driver in the incident takes action to avoid a dangerous accident, or gets through relatively unscathed, the perpetrator comparatively gets a slap on the wrist.

Often drivers that receive penalty during race still don't lose any position. There question is whether 10 seconds penalties were given for similar incidents in the past. If so you can't really complain.

Sorry but anyone that thinks Lewis was at fault has no business on a racing forum. It was clear cut.

Did they hurt you?

Maybe he wants to feel he has natural peers and is in the right place.

So what's the point of a penalty that isn't actually a penalty?

...and this proves what?

Proves nothing, If Nico had gone straight forward like what happened to Montoya, both drivers would have been out.

The team would have gone mad at Montoya you also have to remember Ferrari wasnt the same team...

If that was both Williams or Ferrari there would have been blame on Montoya.

BUT Nico was aware of his break issues... So he should have given up? Sorry Lewis is not at fault and I am never afraid to shoot him for his antics or mistakes. If Lewis was classed as over aggresive because of Nicos problems, every driver would have taken Nico.

Nico wasnt willing to give up and paid the piper. The stewards agree and so does the team.

Will also add the fact that the rules are much more enforced these days compared to them. Plus much better footage and data available.

Did you read my post? It's like free kick in football. It might not change result, but nevertheless it's making it a bit more difficult for the side that committed foul. In fact in most of cases it changes nothing.

I don't think they're supposed to look at the proximity of the cars behind. They just pick the punishment they feel is fitting of the crime

Rosbergs fault. Far too aggressive and avoidable. Totally relied on Hamilton yielding, and he did not. Dirty move.

However Rosberg absolutely should not yield next time Hamilton pushes him wide.

As soon as the TV displayed Hamilton getting a better drive out of turn one, my mind immediately sprang to Suzuka 1990 where two title contenders in the form of Senna and Prost went into a corner, none came out, and one held onto the title. Then while braking and as the situation developed, it was obvious that Rosberg had adopted a brass knuckles approach of, "if you don't back out, we will collide or I will push you far off the track".

So yes, Rosberg was playing very rough, and I have labelled such driving as dirty. It was dirty. I can understand where this has come from, Hamilton has done that very same thing to him, my mind recalls last year at Suzuka and just back in Canada. But two rights don't make a wrong, it was dirty driving on Rosberg's part.

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 that dumb, he won, if he hadn't the WC Standings would be a difference of 31 points instead of 11 with NR maintaining momentum, now Nico is in a hole mentally and LH has reasserted his authority.

Rosberg must be thinking "what do I have to do to beat him, even when I try to run him off the road he wins!" Could well be critical in this years WC especiallly if Toto throws his toys!

Without the grid penalty Nico would probably have won easily as he almost did it anyways so I don´t see him thinking that at all.

So what you are saying is that its dumb for one driver to try and pass the other at this point?'

It's interesting that Nico is the only driver to ever get penalized for collisions between himself and Hamilton.

I think we can now right off the "he's only retaliating against Hamilton" excuses. Rosberg has been just as bad for 2 years now.

Without the grid penalty Nico would not have undercut Hamilton at the first pitstop, the sole reason he had track position.

Will also add my other half thought it was Lewis's fault because she thought he was the inside driver. She was like why do i think Lewis was innocent? He crashed in to Nico? I said because Lewis was on the outside and Nico was the inside. Her response was Ohhhhh I thought Lewis was the inside one. She doesnt watch F1 and isnt fussed at all about the outcome.

Count me in.

Hamilton has established in the team that if you are on the inside, you can go off the racing line to force your team mate off the track. He did that in Hungary and the USA and Mercedes did nothing about it, so by doing that they said it was OK to do it.

Now, because Rosberg does it, does that mean the team have one rule for Hamilton and one rule for Rosberg?

It's not the team saying that it is the stewards! Not only that its not as though the its a 50:50 situation, the votes are either 80:20 or 90:10 that Rosberg was to blame.
I admire your support of Rosberg, nothing wrong with that, but don't let that support blind you to the facts.

Its the responsibility of the driver re-joining the track to re-join safely. The driver on the track is not required to make room for him.

Even Button commented after the race words to the effect of, 'he didn't even give him room to come back on the track!' DC on the C4 highlights coverage also made a point of mentioning it. Very petulant behavior from Rosberg.

So your argument is that if more people say one thing it is automatically right?

I just stated the facts.

It is quite hard to establish right rules, because every case is different. But, if this what Nico "did" today was a subject to punishment, than why didn't we see consistency with Hamilton's moves? For example, in Barccelone, by his own mistake, he took out Rosberg, and innocent party entitled to his racing line. You could also consider his borderline moves that he introduced to F1, in which he drives away from racetrack other drivers.

OK so you are already blinded then, you know perfectly well what I mean.

Incidentally there are no facts in your statement, it's your opinion.

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

There is no requirement to let another driver back onto the track.

Forced because he was going to be overtaken, he lost his cool and made a clumsy move that led to him ruining his own race and gifting a positions to Verstaphen and Raikkonen as well as points to Hamilton.

He hasn't learned that well has he!

100% Rosberg

Last time I said that you started banging on about Rosberg just doing what Hamilton had done, hence why I asked the question

really? He didn't even get pole and he wouldn't have got a better strategy if they were 1-2. Same as ever, the driver who lead after lap 1 would have won. But that did go out of the window today because Mercedes broke there rule of both cars running the same strategy and they were both in the same a race at that point running P1 and P3 just 6 seconds behind.

But to say Nico would have won easily, is at best laughable. Hamilton had Baku won easily too
