They'll have the footage of Lewis' onboard, if he was compromised when Nico rejoined the track it will be investigated.

Pretty sure Hamilton was the first to come up to him and he was already backing onto the track. So yes, I would consider that dangerous, especially there. Whether he will get a penalty I don't know, my bet is he won't.
They were instructed before Qualifying that impeding another driver's hot lap would be a guaranteed penalty, so yeh, again, if he didn't get a penalty, I'd be amazed.

Well if that is true then that explains hamiltons reaction. Rosberg surly has to get a penalty, if that is true, he knew he wouldnt get another lap so he should of waited

He knows he would have pulled another one out of his arse at the last minute. And yes, I did see his reaction, when he saw Rosberg reversing back onto the track. He waved his hand in frustration at the next corner.
Felipe Baby!

Nicos car was in view on Lewis aborted lap, so he had already started to reverse towards track.

"Everyone in the pitlane thinks it was deliberate" Ted

Kravitz saying that 4 team bosses and engineers are saying that it is 100% deliberate.

Not quite accurate quote, it was (IIRC) "I've talked to about 5 team bosses, and 6 engineers, and every one of them thinks it was deliberate. One said it was 1000% deliberate, one said 'he knows he can't do it in rivage, that's been done before'".
