    I've said it before, but it needs saying again, Rosberg is a total waste of a front running seat...

    Good races from Max and JB. I presume Pirelli have blamed some non existent debris again?

    Come on EMSC that's way over the line. You can be angry without resorting to that.

    I'd quite like to delete the offending comment, and edit the subsequent posts to remove it, unless anybody objects?

    They're all flawed. But that's what makes them as exciting as the winners they were/are.

    As a moderator myself that's exactly how I'd handle it on either of my forums. Delete away.

    Toto Wolff does an incredible job of avoiding blaming one driver - instead he just unloads both barrels on the pair of them.
    "Can you imagine DNF-ing after Turn Two?" he tells Sky Sports.
    "We're looking like a bunch of idiots and it's disrespectful to 1,500 people who work their nuts off on the cars."
    Will he now impose team orders?
    "What I am saying is this is on the table because maybe that's the only way we can manage the situation.
    "I hate team orders but if every race ends up in a collision between team-mates, it's not what we want.
    "If you are losing a one and two and finish one and four and lose a lot of points, that's not nice."

    Let it go- your opinion is clearly that he's be best you've ever seen and that's fine!!

    Senna and Prost absolutely had similar moments.

    Greatest is always about personal opinion- no need for us to defend anyone.

    I can't believe Team Orders mighty be imposed- how can you have team orders when your two drivers are fighting for a Championship?

    If you want the fastest car, be prepared to let two drivers race.

    Replay show that Lewis did overtake after the first yellow.

    True - yet it wasn't an actual overtake per se as the car in front was going so slow because of damage to lose over 20 seconds in 2/3 of a lap.

    This is rediculous though, we're not talking the last race of the season, it's every time they come within 10m of each other.

    Lewis has been to the stewards - not known if it's related to the yellow flag or fit his version of events on the collision.

    Give it a break, your comment was deeply offensive and by defending yourself is laughable.

    From what Sky have said, with Rosberg in a damaged car and slowing, Hamilton would have been ok to pass under yellows. They also showed a replay which seemed to show he was past Rosberg before the yellow warning board. I can't see it being an issue.

    As to team orders, I suspect it will become as simple as whoever is highest on the grid will get preferential treatment. It'll be made clear to them that they aren't allowed to race on track, and I suspect they will go as far as to make it clear that if they do so, they'll be sabotaged on strategy. Mercedes want a 1-2 every race, they don't care which way around, and if they deliver that then one of their drivers will be WDC anyway.

    The car he passed had no front wing. You can't be expected to stay behind. Especially as Rosberg was a moving yellow flag for that lap.
