Hamilton was just behind Alo, he could have pushed after he pass him but he decide to abort the lap. Maybe couldn't have improve but Ros pushed after slowing down and some traffic ahead and he gained time to get the pole. Track was improving.
He had to slow too much to avoid colliding with Alonso, no way he could have improved on his previous time after that.
No saying he could have improve for sure, but he could have continue to push if he wanted. It is the second time Rosberg takes pole from him because he doesn't abort Rosberg just go for it, regardless the conscuences. And that it is to praise in my opinion.

That will be a travesty, considering everyone around him did the right thing.

After a redflag came out giving nobody a chance to respond, Alonso was P1 while everyone was doing fast laps and stayed there for a long time.

They work well with bad chassis? Is that what you want me to say?

You can´t just say regardless of the consequences. Hamilton could not have taken pole here because he´s run into the problem at a way worse time then Rosberg who could get away with a lift then get back on it.

Comparing it to Silverstone is moronic.

:lol:
I don't personally have anything against them. But I wouldn't get too excited as it's behind a Toro Rosso. Let's not even talk about Mercedes, Redbull and Ferrari. On a downforce track. That had mixed conditions.

Hardly near top of the class. As you have clearly used this qualifying to gauge their chassis according to your comments... then I agree it's a middle of the pack chassis..

There was literally no poimt Lewis pushing. He wasnt going to make up the seconds he lost before arriving at alonsos car.

Also, can someone show me where on Nicos onboard that he slowed down and prepared to stop?

I think after what happened to Bianchi, this view is very distorted and does not deserve any praise...

As they mentioned in the C4 commentary, the conversion rate from pole to win here is maybe 50%, so as long as the two Mercs don't come together again this race is still anyone's to win...

Don't see anyone complaining to the stewards about Rosberg as even if they delete his time he'd still be second and Merc obviously aren't going to. So whether he lifted "enough" or not, I think we have our grid.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

By long time you mean 2 minutes? Good, now that's established =D>

What i advice to you is, never let go of that 2006 season DVD buddy.

The time might be scrapped but still he tried and not aborted the lap, no same situation as Sylverston but the actitude is the same. he tries to the end. And I think it is something to praise as spectator.

He lifted a little for the left hander. Nothing more. Full throttle through double yellows.

If double yellow means slow and be prepared to stop....Nico lifted into the left where he would normally do anyway, right after the first yellow. He then immediately went right back on it again, including going full speed past where the actual incident happened. So...yea per the rules I don't understand how he's allowed to do that. BUT the incident was completely cleared by the time he got there. Definitely some grey area, because he couldn't possibly have known that at the time and he kept pushing.
