Jeez , you guys .
Just string him up and be done with it .

Come to your senses Bagwan. Pick a side, declare the other side intentional and extreme evil and roll with that angle at all costs. Claim that anyone that thinks otherwise is wrong, point fingers, scream and shout, and jump up and down. Create a silly and childish name such as Nico the Cheater or Lewis the Loser and put it in a post or ten, using it over and over to try to make a point.

If you are capable, embellish your view even more by stating that admitting responsibility for the accident is also admitting deliberate contact or even attempted murder. Death by Mercedes F1 as some would claim, was the ultimate goal.


Or do as you have done and make your own decision on the matter. That's what I've done too, as I can't even convince myself to be part of the drama.

None of the articles or quotes have changed my opinion on anything, nor do I think they have proven anything other than the fact that Nico admits having some fault in the matter. The other driver that didn't give an inch either still seems to take the attitude of no fault, which I personally don't believe for a second. Nor did the stewards obviously.

At the end of it all we have two drivers racing each other very hard for the title, and they will probably continue to do so. But it appears now that if they destroy a car or two, Mercedes will slap them on the wrist. And personally I'm glad that Mercedes is letting them race so hard. I want this battle on track to continue.


Having said that, from the start I felt Lewis would win on track. Though he has had some car failures that gave Nico an edge, overall he is still ahead on track IMO, but at this point might need some luck to win the title. But my respect for Nico is growing, even after I admitted to under rating him in the past. He is managing to get in Lewis's head, and that is where Lewis often fails himself. I honestly feel at this point Lewis is a capable enough driver to still overcome the points deficit and win the title, but if and only if, he can get his head straight. If he keeps up the whining and pointing fingers, Nico is going to continue to beat him down and Lewis may well fall to the point where Ricciardo has a shot at the number 2 spot in the WDC.




And once again for the record, I respect the opinion of Doc Austin and a couple others that thought/think the contact was deliberate, even though I don't agree myself. I respect those opinions because they appear to be made without bias to either side and they looked at the incident, not the drivers, in making their decisions.

Those that have blindly defended Lewis over and over have, as usual IMO, simply blindly defended him once again. And if Lewis doesn't get his act together and clear his head, they will be chanting "Cheater Nico, Cheater Nico!" when Nico is crowned the WDC.
