So should Nico keep his place, or despite what a lot are thinking, is it just too inconclusive to definitely say it was on purpose and impose a penalty as happened to Schuey?
I suppose the question is the intent, but didn't the Caterhsm reverse back onto track or was that practise?
I don't want the order changed..I want Rosberg to keep his poll position...I think though he should get some reprimand for the reversing bit..he didn't know where Hamilton was is his claim but he knew there were other cars on fast laps behind him..
Does anyone know if a complaint was lodged of the stewards took it upon themselves? It would seem strange for Merc to protest one of their own drivers even if there is internal issues.
I think its a genuine mistake Nico was right on the limit but I was very surprised at Lewis' childish reaction considering he hadnt even seen the incident. I hope Nico keeps his spot.
This is looking **** for Rosberg. 5-10 place grid drop IMO. In which case F1 officially can suck a fat one.
I don't think the reversing matters, of course he wanted to bring the car back to the pits himself. He didn't back onto the track in front of anyone or do anything dangerous. The yellows will always be out for a car on the escape road, to stop stuff like this happening: [video=youtube;7Q6a-8G4rYc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q6a-8G4rYc[/video] What if Rosberg had got out of the car and someone else overshot the corner?
I'm guessing the stewards decided to look themselves. Red Bull or Ferrari might have complained, I believe both Raikkonen and Vettel were also behind Rosberg and track, and possibly others too. And they'd both benefit from Rosberg being penalised. He'll surely be DSQ'd for something like this if he's found guilty. Not sure what I want to happen. Part of me wants to see him punished for it, but the race will be far more interesting if he gets away with it.
erm, but aren't you also saying that what Rosberg did was dodgy/deliberate, so therefore surely a punishment should be due!? How can he potentially cheat in your mind, but a penalty for that would suck balls!!??
Who will be walking back to the pit lane with their front wing in their hand after the first corner? Lol..just kidding. I want to see a good clean race. Let the winner take the trophy on track.
