Yep, Nico has his own set of rules,

He said and I quote- "I'm on the inside, I have the right to defend. I don't need to take the ideal line.

Someone aught to remind him that he is no longer defending when he isn't ahead.

His actions and attitude today also reinforce my belief that his Monaco escapades last year were also 100% deliberate.

Senna-esque minus the talent..


But hey... isn't it great that Karma prevailed and bit his derriere!

I also don't think it's acceptable to veer 12 feet off the racing line and push a guy off that is alongside. There's defence and there's being a bad sport. I think Nico fell into the latter today and he doesn't need to tarnish his career with such behaviour.

I'll put it down to maybe a loss in translation. :)

+1 this. Hear hear!

I think that DQ would have been appropriate in this instance, or at very least a five minute time penalty.

I like to think of myself as being relatively neutral. I like Hamilton and think he has amazing talent but often screws up and thats why he wont ever be among the absolute greatest in my eyes. (Not yet anyway)

However this time I fail to see how anyone can blame Hamilton. Unless he was just going to drive off track he had no where to go. He stayed wide and was aiming to sneak around the outside of the white line, leaving Rosberg 3/4 of the track.

Even if Nico had brake issues, that does not stop him turning for the corner early and trying to avoid Lewis. He did nothing of the sort and IMO tried to push Lewis off.

I feel it warranted at least a grid drop or points deduction from the race.

If others disagree then I am amazed but accept it. Just stop all the moaning about each other.

Well stated mate.
BTW Lewis was actually ahead of Nico before the latter turned in ! The penalty was definately not severe enough!

Disgraceful driving from Rosberg .We now again see his true colours.When trying to defend he is dangerous using his car as a weapon .Very happy that this time he was damaged ,and maybe needs Toto to go through the footage and realize how his actions could have lost Mercedes ALL the points for Sundays race.How many times does he revert to dirty tricks ,as we can all remember the stunts he has tried to pull and again gets let off lightly .In my mind the stewards are afraid of the drivers or the "Big" teams and need to stand by their convictions with penalties they hand out 10 seconds on his race time was a farce
