    I'd single out this bit: "TJ13 is aware the Stewards looked into the incident during today’s race, quickly concluding no further action was required. For their part, they felt that Hamilton had not fully complied with the rules, leaving it nigh on impossible to hand a punishment to Rosberg for causing a collision."

    Their point is basically that, according to the rules, Hamilton should have given Rosberg room. He didn't and Rosberg didn't yield either, therefore causing the collision. Now, I agree with pretty much everyone in here: Rosberg was the main responsible for the accident. Lewis should have given him more space, he didn't, and the result is that they crashed. It's the same brand of aggressive racing we have seen in the previous races and the "win" went to Rosberg the same way that it could have been the German earning a DNF and Hamilton winning the race.
    If that's the case then it's another example of the Stewart's making ridiculous rulings! Hamilton could not have given Rosberg any further room and he was always ahead of Rosberg. Never once did Nico have a chance of passing him! The second chop of the steering wheel from on board Rosberg's car is all you need to look at to see what really happened here. It's extremely clear. Many drivers went through that corner today in the same position and chose to save their car. Look at Vettel on the first lap. You har to be smart. It was Rosberg's fault - 100%. I have to say this incident has enraged me more than any other in recent years. What is really infuriating is that Nico has cheated twice this year and gotten away with it because of dozey Stewart's on both occasions and that will probably be what wins him the championship. If that happens I honestly will be disgusted with F1.
