    This would blow up the other thread. So best to move it away. Your thoughts?

    Rosbergs fault but racing incident. Not on purpose just clumsy.

    What's there to debate?! Fairly clear cut - entirely Rosbergs fault but not the kind of thing that stewards will ever punish as no rules broken.

    Fall out will be highly interesting. Hamilton will be rightly furious. Rosberg will be delighted with the points.

    It was a racing incident. Hamilton probably shouldn't have cut Rosberg up, Rosberg probably should have backed out. The speeds they're driving at, the margins are too fine. It's unfortunate that Hamilton suffered the most again. Shame we didn't get a proper battle, maybe we can in Monza.

    Rosberg was too eager and a bit clumsy. Cost both himself and Hamilton a chance of the win.

    About it really...

    If Niki Lauda thinks it was Rosberg's fault, who are we to argue?

    He didn't cut him up. Just stuck to his line. If there's any blame, it's all Rosberg's.... But **** happens in racing. Just awful luck once again for Hamilton.

    One of the many idiosyncracies of F1 that you can be at fault for an incident and yet benefit so greatly from it.

    I suppose if those sort of injustices bug you too much, F1 probably isn't the sport for you. And I say that as a big Hamilton fan.

    It was lap 2 and he should have been more careful, it's frustrating yet again but at this rate Rosberg will be WDC.

    I don't think it was intentional at all, but coming from someone who doesn't like Hamilton, Rosberg is lucking his way to a world championship.

    Between Hamilton's fault and 50/50. Hamilton should have left the room instead of swiping him like in Bahrain, he should have known he wasn't going to back out and something could go wrong.

    Just to remind. Hamilton was very abrupt cutting across in Bahrain.

    It was a racing incident, both drivers are to blame. Nico shouldn't have been where he was, and Hamilton shouldn't have cut across him.

    Ultimately no contact and both cars finished.

    Nico had lost the corner very early this time and should have cut back in earlier.

    Clearly Mercedes are unhappy with him for risking both cars by trying to prove a point when there was nothing to gain.

    Moreover. The whole thing could have been avoided if Rosberg waited for Drs. Maybe Mercedes didn't brief the drivers.

    What I'd like to know, is where this apparent change in rules has occurred?! Every other time I've seen this has happen in F1, there's been a penalty. Hamilton vs Massa, anyone? Yet we get ONE obscure "oh apparently they've relaxed the regulations on racing incidents this year" line of explanation from the pundits?! F1 is as transparent as a turd, at times. Rosberg should have been penalised, it was clearly his fault, as it is 999/1000 when someone behind clips the front car with their wing and causes a puncture.

    There wasn't even an investigation for crying out loud! Yet Mags is being investigated for pushing Alonso wide with no contact?!?!

    But no, let's let Rosberg barge his way to an F1 title! Drive-through would have been fair all-round I think, and consistent with other penalties.
