Two of trhe TJ13 managers were contacted by two different Mercedes employees (and it weren't the janitor or the cleaning lady) and told that part of the 'undisclosed punishment' that Wolff announced after Spa, that Nico was required to give way to Lewis should they find themselves in a 1-2 situation. Nico very obviously did in Monza.

A conspiracy theory is just a battle cry for people with no real factual information. If it was a clear gift I'd say it was feasible or at least worth exploring further but sorry dude, with the way it happened it just doesn't wash. :/
Rosberg intentionally going down the escape road at Monaco to sabotage Hamiltons lap looks much, much more feasible and at least it actually looks very like it from the onboard footage.. but I bet you don't subscribe to that one do you?
Yes I do. Biggest farce in F1 history (in terms of title deciders) if one is 26 points clear before the final race and lose it.Quote:

I think this sh*tstorm is merely combination of having such a dominant car, and social media being so prevalent in the matter. As I mentioned before, one driver at Mercedes will be world champion, the other will have finished last in a two car contest :laugh:
I may be true, I also dare say its happened plenty of times in the past. Teams balancing up wins between its drivers.
Why now is DJ so up in arms? At the same time as saying Red Bull are screwing Vettel over, after 4 years where he got a likely amount of help.
Anyway whatever dudes. Doesn't matter really. Lewis is dominant on wins, Nico is better in terms of consistency, and they are 10 points apart with 4 races left.
Seems like a decent title fight for whoever wins.
So sad that Bottas messed up his final corners. He has been brilliant so far this weekend and would have loved to see him get a pole.
Otherwise the Merc's seem still 0.7-1.0 second clear in racing (apart from Bottas)
Jenson Button again showing a brilliant performance to secure 4th.
kyvat too. 5th place. Amazing stuff and can he stay there?
Not a great track, but looking forward the race anyway
Is there not a possibility that Nico is missing the feedback from the pit wall as to where Hamilton is quicker than him ?
DJ unless you have concrete evidence to back up your statements,then other members cannot take your assumptions seriously .The viewing public thought Nico was wrong in Monaco and in Spa ,by the boos he started to get on the podium.The boos obviously upset Nico ,from comments he made.But to win in a sporting way rather than by at the detriment of your team and team mate ,leaves a nasty taste in peoples mouth .
I look forward to you putting on here the print outs that back up your imaginary statements .
We eagerly await your proof in print
Right, absolutely, but their wasn't a whole boat load of passive aggressive bored idiots like the lot of us trying to get others to understand our reality in the competition, for the vast majority of them! :dozey: :angel:Quote:
