Wrong. Hamilton had the racing line, Rosberg had nothing to do in that corner.
To claim a spot next to someone you need to be either alongside or ahead.
If Rosberg wasn't alongside, how did his wing meet Hamilton's sidewall? :wink:

Ric has much better race pace than Vet. As predicted.

Rosberg is the unluckiest driver, even random objects are against him, I think it deserves a separate thread :-(.

Ham-Ros was 50/50 BTW. Close your eyes and drive, not unusual from these two at all, poor race-craft, low driving standards and lack of peripheral vision.

Red bull actually holding back merc and williams on the straights. That's something to behold.

Random insults instead of F1 discussion
It was poor driving from both. You have nothing to say about F1.

wrong forum, you need to go to TrollTechnical.net

His front wing hitting Hamilton´s rear wheel is proof he had no right being there.
You can´t just stick your front wing into a corner and expect the guy ahead to jump out of the way.

To overtake on the outside you need to be fully alongside or be ahead to claim it.

It was poor driving by Rosberg, tried too hard to recover after losing position but lucky for him he didn't suffer from the incident as much as Hamilton.

Rosberg's overtaking prowess has left a lot to be desired today, he's penalised his own race even further with that shocking move on Vettel.

But you are completely anti Hamilton so no point in trying to have a constructive conversation with you.

It works both ways, Rosberg couldn't expect Hamilton to jump out of the way, and Hamilton couldn't take the apex expecting Rosberg to jump out of the way. As said, the stewards clearly agree.

Ps, Rosberg had the inside line at the point of contact, not the outside :wink:

Yes he can, Rosberg needs to use the left pedal and back off, have another go next time.
Not stick you front wing in and try to get a gap that never existed.

His front wing was lined up with Hamilton´s rear wheel, he has no business being there.

He messed up with Hamilton, messed up with Vettel and messed up with Button.
But let´s blame Hamilton instead like a troll.

I just wonder if there will be any consequences for Rosberg for robbing the team of a possible 1-2

It would be impressive for Nico to make these tyres last 24 laps in total

Rosbergs fault all day long.

Hamilton needs to call Balotelli for a 'why always me?' Tshirt.
