    It's a grey area on what is deemed to be a slow moving car under yellow - but I agree.

    I do find it ironic that whenever Nico is on the outside Lewis has under steer? For the record I think Nico deliberately ran straight on, and I don't necessarily blame him - he has after all been on tye receiving end of some aggressive moves by Lewis. The only difference is Nico tends to avoid it by running off the track.

    Lewis pushes his luck a great deal when he pushes his team mate wide, but to be fair to him he does just that, he pushes him wide, he doesn't fail to turn in and literally knock him wide.

    There's a difference between running someone out of road on the exit of a corner, and not making any effort to turn in. I would say Hamilton pushing the limits has generally been the former, this was the latter. Rosberg made no effort to turn in, regardless of brake issues, the on-board is clear. I don't condone Hamilton's approach either, but there's a clear difference.

    That's what I mean by pushing his luck. But it was wheel to wheel. He didn't t-bone him like Rosberg practically did today.

    So we're going to get on to personal insults? "Drones"? That just shows how weak the argument you're backing is. There is no point arguing with someone who can't even defend their argument without insults so have at it, talk to your self.

    The great racers would have turned in like Hamilton, even Schumacher, Senna, Vettel, Alonso etc would have. What you fail to mention in your blinded dislike for Hamilton is that Rosberg decided not to turn in until very late, he was behind Hamilton at the time so are you of the thought that Hamilton should carry on straight until he goes off the circuit just to make sure he didn't hit Rosberg?

    Personally, you disgust me as a person. Your anti Semitic comment earlier was crass and totally unnecessary.

    I don't think any of us were on this forum in 2001. Montoya was at fault there though.

    Check yourself before you wreck yourself brah, it's only a car race.

    I enjoyed it anyway.

    Fascinating race and coming into last corner I though Rosberg was too far ahead.

    I though it was great bit of action and don't know why people are whining. Hamilton survived the moment and won it... like....

    This sets up a right spicy duel for rest of season.....

    Both drivers are now ruthless so this is very very interesting. Just what I'd want.

    Ferrari are a joke though... just saying

    some unsavoury comments unfortunately.

    I will post when I have watched the race on C4, can't say anything on Ros/Ham until I have seen it.

    had a wild afternoon doing DIY at the mother in laws. Living the dream.

    Like I said I think Nico was deliberate, I'm not defending him. What I am pointing out is that whenever Nico goes to the outside, fans and drivers criticise him because we all know that he will be run out of road and he ends up on the run off or on the grass avoiding the collusion.

    Lewis was on the outside and didn't have to turn into the corner, he choose to on the basis he would have expected Nico to have left him room. However Nico obviously decided that with the run off area being so big, he was prepared to/intended on running him into this area. The result is that Nico didn't yield (as expected) and Lewis didn't abort (as expected) - why are we suprised? Maybe we should revisit the Bahrain dual?

    In the end Lewus came out on top and arguably deservedly so. It's now turning into a situation of who blinks first. This is where the stewards lack of decision in Spain is going to create an issue.
