    Hamilton & Rosberg collide again....

    So yet again these two Championship rivals touch.

    I have to say it adds real drama when these incidents happen. I know some will critise me for saying that, but in a Mercedes dominated era and when races can be dull at the front, these championship clashes spice things up.

    What do you guys think?

    One thing we should praise Mercedes for is letting them race. Ferrari & Red Bull in years past would have long stopped the race.

    Hamilton saying Rosberg hit him and its his problem.
    Rosberg saying he was surprised Hamilton turned in.

    He didn't turn in, simple as that. 100% intentional. Onboard shots show it clearly.

    Watch on board with Rosberg.

    Very revealing. Rosberg arrives at the corner and clearly does not turn towards the corner. Looking to do run Hamilton off or make contact.

    Yes just saw that Koz. Very intersting turn of events.

    Clearly title stress is feeling the heat to do that. Maybe up there with Monaco Quali.

    Once again the racer is passing the x-box player. Rosberg was iced and drove Hamilton off the track. Thankfully he damaged his car in the process. Rosberg proved not only doesn't he have the cojones to be Champ, he doesn't have the brains either!

    Now. What is an appropriate penalty?

    Is disqualification from the championship too harsh? Maybe this is why Toto and Niki are banging on about braking?

    It's pretty clear that Lewis gave Nico plenty of room. He couldn't have done anymore.

    Nico didn't even try to turn in for the corner. Can't blame Lewis for that one, although I'm sure some people will try. Ultimately, it was justice for Mercedes for compromising Hamilton in the first place with their strategy. He definit t needs to have some punishment. He might very well get disqualified for the race here.

    I think anything from a time penalty today through to a race ban is possible.

    Sadly though this has lead Toto to say team orders may have to be implemented. I guess that would be a case of whoever leads going into the last 10 laps wins. Hopefully not the old whoever gets into turn 1 first wins.

    snap. I think this is most likely. Although I wouldnt be surprised to just see a grid drop
