As someone who deals with this type of process daily, I can tell you it's not as hard as many people think.

Again we've seen it first hand with the bad starts, Baku, Singapore. Also, wasn't Rosberg the one who won more races while the ban was in place?
He sure did! =D> =D> =D>
But again can't see any other way Rosberg being able to win a championship! luck... =D> =D> =D>

Surely if that would've been the case, it would've been dealt with from 2014, don't you agree? The same conspiracy theories were circulating back then as well. Up until the last race, when Nico's PU failed and essentially put an end to the championship battle.

What kind of penalty should there be for Vettel? Absolutely unnecessary move. Went too fast into the corner and caused the collision. No way he was going to make that corner. So about penalty, oh wait, he drives a Ferrari...

No, the math is good. I am just looking at things half empty at the moment. The alternate way of looking at it, would be that Rosberg needs one more win to shift the odds considerably into his favour, because it would mean Lewis can no longer win the championship himself.

I.e. Rosberg wins one more race to Hamilton 2nd and the point gap will be 30 with 4 races left (4 * 7 point diff between 1st and 2nd = 28 points).

This more or less match point for Rosberg.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Imo, Nico can't hold a candle to Lewis as a driver, so as long as the stupid car works properly Lewis can still win!

Vettel would have made the corner, it was Rosberg cutting in that caused the crash. Rosberg would not have seen Vettel because he was ahead and had Max on his inside. This is just like the last time when Max went up the inside at turn one. A simple start/racing incident no one to blame really just too many cars around to be able to anticipate everything.

If they don't give him a penalty, then sure as hell need to quit smoking the $4!t for giving Rosberg one when Kimi didn't even spin out!

Lewis is the one driver who can, it is funny people still doubt him.

But on the other hand, Rosberg has had his fair share of bad luck in the past.
This year he has been very lucky, but lets face it, sometimes you need luck to win a championship.

I think racing accident into T1 and BS penalty for the Rosberg/Raikkonen collision.

Despite supporting Vettel, he sort of made a Verstappen move he was disregarding a while back.....that was a bit overambitious into the first turn. At least he was man enough to admit his fault and not blame anyone else.

Hamilton, while being very unlucky with his engine, again very very lucky he always has his failures when Rosberg is not in second place immediately becoming the leader....imagine what the picture would look like with 33 points difference now.
