    Did Rosberg get his contract renewed yet?

    Anything to do with only this race seems too lenient.

    I think a race ban is possible but unlikely given the situation. whether its right or wrong.

    Oooh! I haven't see the incident from onboard yet but judging from the events and what has been said by Toto, it's very interesting to see apparent driver allegiances coming to the surface among the Merc top brass.. or am I reading too much into this? It will be fascinating to see how this pans out.

    Great that they let them race though, great battle, very exciting.. thank you Merc!

    I was disappointed to see Nico failed to turn in until he was nearly at the edge of the track. It certainly looks like he was trying to push Lewis and it backfired badly. I think there will be a sanction put on him so expect a deduction of points or perhaps a one race ban. It was a stupid incident that was completely avoidable.

    Jenson Button said 'he didn't even let him rejoin the circuit!' after seeing the second part of the incident. I just hope Mercedes tackle Nico and don't try and portray this latest incident as 50/50.

    Rosberg's comments: http://www.autosport.com/news/report...tria-collision

    "I went a bit deep into the corner, but that's fine because I'm on the inside - I dictate," Rosberg told TV crews after the race.

    "I was very surprised that Lewis turned in and caused a collision.

    "We were battling, I was struggling a little bit with my brakes because they got a bit hot in the end.

    "My tyres were degrading, so that gave Lewis a chance.

    "Nevertheless I was confident I could defend and bring it home. I had the inside position, a strong position.

    "Very gutted, it's unbelievable this sport sometimes.

    "I was sure to win that race and then I lost it on the last lap. That's pretty intense."

    Lol how could Nico be sure to win the race when he had such serious brake issues?


    Also, how much does anyone want to bet had Nico won and Lewis dropped down or DNFd, Toto's mood would be much better?!



    And both drivers are now under investigation? Well at least that includes Nico, not just Lewis. Probably because Derek Warwick is nowhere to be seen this time.

    If Mercedes can prove that Rosberg had a genuine brake issue, I think it's unlikely that Nico will get any penalty - at most, he'll get a grid penalty.

    Nico Rosberg has been given a 10 second penalty. Leaving him 4th. now +26 instead of +16 seconds behind Hamilton and 2 penalty points on his license. If he gets 12 he faces a race ban.

    So no real penalty at all. hmm...........................
