Whats going to Happen at Mercedes

[Doc Austin]

If it is true that Rosberg said he did it on purpose, I would say the FIA needs to take his points from this race. That way he gains no advantage from it. That would be the minimum, but any more than that, like say making him sit out the next race, would affect the championship too much.

I liked Nico and did not want to believe he did this on purpose, but the more information that gets out, the more it looks like this is exactly what happened. As hard as he turned the wheel back to the right while he was still beside Hamilton, where else did he think was the car going to go? This is the world championship leader we are talking about. He could not have possibly misjudged it that badly.

Couple with what happened at Monoco, I would have a hard time seeing Rosberg as a worthy champion.

A normal race incident in the heat the first few laps normaly create, happens in many races.

I thought exactly the same Mia, but you can't ignore what Mercedes have confirmed this evening

Ham spouting off to the press on internal team matters to rally the forces against evil teammates... Rings a bell somehow
shut up and sort it out on the track!

Wouldn't blame Hamilton to be honest, if your team mate is dumb enough to admit to taking you out, then you need to try and get him punished.

Sad its got to this really.

Nico got forced off by Hamilton in the last race .
He said before this race that he had learned a lot .

I believe what Nico meant by his words was that he would not be intimidated into backing out when he was beside his team mate .

That's well different to saying he would crash him out deliberately .

Lewis expected him to back out .
He didn't .

I hope Lewis learned something in this race , just like Nico did in the last one .

"Nico felt he needed to hold his line. He needed to make a point, and for Lewis, it was clearly not him who needed to be aware of Nico," said Wolff.

"[Rosberg] didn't give in. He thought it was for Lewis to leave him space, and that Lewis didn't leave him space.

"So they agreed to disagree in a very heated discussion amongst ourselves, but it wasn't deliberately crashing. That is nonsense."



A racing incident, Totos words

Now it's all a big misunderstanding.

F1: Wolff says Hamilton misinterpreted Rosberg : http://racer.com/f1/item/107825-wolf...misinterpreted

We will probably never know the exact truth of what was actually said. Everyone is going to spin it differently.

For me that second crank of the wheel towards Hamilton told the story. How can the team look at that and then still believe Nico was just simply not giving way?

Expect this from Wolff as he does not want his driver banned but yes it's the second crank - no different to Jerez 97 - it told the full story! I just hope the FIA get involved and ban him!

One thing for sure, Hamilton is coming out of this looking squeaky clean! He really learned from 2007.

Whatever went on innocent or guilty, the FIA will not ban him. IMO

Unfortunately they probably don't have the balls but for consistency they should!
