This is turning into a right little storm.

SO, based on assumptions, HAM is threatening to ram ROS off track Senna style? What penalty can he get for a threat like that? Or is it the Senna-style 'whenever there's a gap ..' ?

I thought Ham would have a bit more intelligence, until know he was managing the situation quiet well, if he crash in future with nico on a fair but agressive manouvre as he did few races ago, they will use this words against him

Funnily enough, everyone in top5 set their FL on scrubbed set from q2.

Why is that funny? Rosberg was first on track, so everyone else had to go through a yellow flag sector on their fresh tyres. Rosberg himself stated that the track was improving.

I know, I just find it amusing no one tried fresh ones on their first attempt.

That's pretty much standard practice in qualifying.

If they've been summoned does that mean penalty impending?

No, it means they're being investigated, and the stewards are asking them questions.

My bet is they're asking "why on earth did you reverse" to find out if there was any justification at all.

Even if Nico was not reversing, there would still have been yellow flags as he was stopped in a dangerous position on an escape road.

Right, which is why what he should have done is driven to the end of the escape road, like any sane driver would have.

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

Spot on buddy.

It bit some people in their back side, did it not.

The track is always getting better, so to get your best time your always going to use your best tyres last with a better track than your first run.....

This is why I think he'll get a penalty, I guess its a question of the severity.

Penalty points, 3 place drop, 10 place drop or DSQ from qualifying?

For Lewis to come out and say in a press conference he had a couple tenths on Nico and he was on a 'pole lap' was wrong and a lie as with less than a tenth separating the two it was not possible for him to know anyway. With a margin that small it cannot be predicted.

I saw the sector times and he was a tenth up on Rosberg, S2 was indeed his best sector but you acted as if we are talking about Jenson button, last lap in Q3 is Hammertime, im 100% confinced Lewis wouldv'e pulled one out like he's known for.

When it was ruled that schumacher did it deliberately, he was DSQed from qualifying. I doubt the stewards are even considering that. Based on the reversing, I'd bet on a 5 place grid drop, but who knows really.

even if ros would have parked it at the end it is dangerous. Imagine a car losing control sliding into the exit while rosberg is getting out.....there will always be flags.

it will most likely be 3 place drop, 10 place drop or DSQ with penalty points as well - If he gets a penalty.

it will depend what he is guilty of as well. impeding drivers (because he reversed) prob 10. if he is found guilty of doing the whole thing on purpose i'd say DSQ

but there won't always be a car reversing back onto the track which is more of the problem - and in your example even more dangerous if that happened
