marko Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 It was a Schumacher v Hill/Villeneuve moment. An "If I'm not winning then neither of us is finishing" type move. When Rosberg's under pressure he drives like I do on the Playstation when damage is turned off and I'm behind. Bounce off everything!
Nalis Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 Indifferent to both Hamilton and Rosberg but at people claiming there is a conspiracy against Hamilton on the BBC live update, talk about paranoid.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 If the clip I've seen is the incident, Roseberg has surely got to be looking at further punishment? You would have thought so, but Mercedes clearly wanted a Rosberg win for some reason, even telling Hamilton that wasn't the result they wanted! it was rosbergs fault
Jimothy Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 You would have thought so, but Mercedes clearly wanted a Rosberg win for some reason, even telling Hamilton that wasn't the result they wanted! it was rosbergs fault They said it wasn't the race they wanted, not result.It's a joke Lauda is trying to brush over it and absolve Rosberg of blame. Now Wolff won't lay blame on Rosberg. They're so obviously bias it's a joke.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 Hamilton soaking up the boos from the heavy German crowd what a win that was brilliant
Jimothy Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 Rosberg is blaming Hamilton! lol The man is a disgrace.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 Rosberg is blaming Hamilton! lol The man is a disgrace. everyone including the stewards know it was Rosberg that is why he is under investigation, the guy has no shame and does my head in
Jimothy Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 Johnny Herbert has just left Toto Wolff totally speechless, showing him the video of Rosberg not turning in, because he can't bring himself to blame Rosberg.

I'm speechless that Mercedes haven't just said Nico was at fault... Rosberg is just heavily protected by them and Lewis less so
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 I'm speechless that Mercedes haven't just said Nico was at fault... Rosberg is just heavily protected by them and Lewis less so He'll get the riot act internally I reckon - but you don't out your guy in public (unless you have a driver you want to promote into a seat like in Red Bull's case).
Legend_in_blue Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 I'm sure I heard Toto say there was a brake problem on Rosberg's car. Perhaps the loss of brake power caused a momentary loss of steering? However you dress it up, Rosberg caused a collision and should be penalised accordingly.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 Nothing like the Merc vs Lewis conspiracy theories
The Horse's Mouth Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 The Formula E finale was insane, congratulations to Buemi.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/36699043 A 10 second penalty added to Nico's race time... which alters nothing.
Jimothy Posted 3 July 2016 Posted 3 July 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/36699043 A 10 second penalty added to Nico's race time... which alters nothing. What a shitty punishment for blatantly causing a crash. Should have either been a bigger time penalty or a grid penalty next week.
Brainy Posted 4 July 2016 Posted 4 July 2016 Mercedes team strategies don't make sense anymore. For years its been of the belief that the lead driver will pit first, usually whether they like it or not. If the two aren't racing each other (like most races this season) they can change it up and the 2nd driver can pit before the lead driver. Today Rosberg was about 5 seconds behind Hamilton when he pitted first. I understand that he was also racing the Ferrari's but to leave Hamilton out for so long makes no sense. He had a good 6 or 7 laps where he could have pitted, and even if it meant putting Hamilton on to a two stop then he would still have had track position on Rosberg. I'm guessing the aim was to give Hamilton a chance to undercut Rosberg by pitting a lap before, then they go and give him a pit stop over a second slower than Rosberg. And then to put Rosberg on a softer tyre!? There is no fairness in that which is what Mercedes always try and claim they are all about

spudungeyee Posted 5 July 2016 Posted 5 July 2016 German team , German world champion needed !!! I do feel some of this is beginning to be involved; I am sure the big boys at Mercedes have been suggesting it would be better from a commercial point of view that Roseborg be the champion. On saying that Hamilton spits his dummy out far too often

On saying that Hamilton spits his dummy out far too often Don't know where you get the idea that Hamilton spits his dummy out, he has many times denied any conspiracy within the team against him and been grateful to what they have done for him. He has just got on with the racing and been getting the results even when things aren't going his way. Rosberg is far worse in that regard, refusing to even accept his own failings
