we don't know if the stewards told him it was alright to reverse at that instance.
As maybe they thought the track was clear
Too many variables.

It is the reversing which was wrong, I think the lock up might be genuine, it looked suspicious but I would give the benefit of the doubt without any further evidence to hand.

he can set the reverse gear straigt away but not use it until further order, so still no convince.
the reversing thing in purpose it make him an idiot if everything was intentional

I bet hes been planning it for weeks. If you go into his secret lair he has blueprints of the track and where the reverse lever is in his car. Hell I bet he even adjusted his mirrors before the session so he could back up better.

We saw how it panned out.
Lewis wasn't to happy about that yellow flag and his ruined last lap.
And he was faster in the first sector.


Whether Nico gets a penalty or not.... i hardly believe that it will change Lewis's opinion on that move.





And about the battle....
Sainte Devote in the first lap, and thats it - Monaco as usual.

Worst thing that could happen is a penalty. Then there will be even less of a race tomorrow......Rosberg will not fly through the field....

It's been done before – remember, Vettel started last and came through to 4th.

It is all about nico reversing !! He really didn't need to , by doing so he impeded lewis and others so that means a penalty for me

I was talking about losing car and going off, if they investigate reversing it's a different story.

It wasn't practical impeding if Hamilton slowed down because of yellows earlier - I thought that was the big issue?

Regardless of him reversing, Lewis could not have found sooo much more speed that he would still have gotten Pole even with the RedFlag. He would have to have slowed down during yellow. That means second split would not be as quick as pb. The yellows alone ruined it, not the reversing
