Rosberg, he's fast, on an empty track.
it's 80/20 Rosberg, but Lewis should know the guy can't overtake anything close to the same performance and given a little bit of room rather than takes his preferred line. We've seen a lot of incidents like this, some censured, some not, it was just a bad move from someone who can't overtake. This incident has been coming since Hamilton chopped across Rosberg's nose in Bahrain

Yeah, Rosberg wanted to show that he wasn't going to get pushed around again .......... And screwed it up for the team.
I imagine the team are mire annoyed about the negative publicity they will get for this.
It happened after the Canada Perez/Massa crash, and no one has got a penalty for anything similar since, for example Massa and Magnussen in Germany. It's quite clear to the non-Hamelots that it's a racing incident.
The team won't give him any punishment whatsoever, why would they, he's just given them 18 points
The stewards should have punished him, but didn't. Really, it just sums up the inconsistency with which the laws are applied in F1. This whole lets bring a different ex driver into the briefing at each race is just nonsense, because they're going to call things differently from the next man. We need one set of stewards coming up with a clear and concise ruling of what they constitute a "racing incident" and what is in fact an infraction, and then that to be applied unilaterally applied throughout the season. I think any neutral would be forgiven for thinking they simply make up the rules to suit them most weeks!
So, mid-season, they've made a change in the rules or the application of them, without informing anybody and just letting everyone guess at what they're doing? Sounds legit
No I don't agree with booing .
Wouldn't even know how to look at twitter , and I have no interest .

There was an uproar earlier in the season when they started disqualifying laps in qualifying for going outside track limits, and there's been a backlash since last season for the over-aggressive punishment of collisions. They then announced publicly they would stop doing that and also be taking a more lenient approach to racing incidents to stop F1 being so over-regulated.
Hope that helps
Yes, it's f***ing hilarious
As I've said a million times, boo-ing is a bit of fun and part and parcel of sport, same with cheering and going overboard about you're favourite driver

It would actually be "helpful" if you posted a link to where anybody in commentary mentioned this change in application
I've watched all the pre-race, post-race ****, and it's the first I've heard that they're going to start calling these obvious infractions "racing incidents".

...You yourself posted in this thread earlier that they mentioned it in the commentary.
