    <applause> for stewards

    Better than handing out penalties and what not.

    Neither were fully alongside. Alonso backed out when rosberg cut across, hamilton didn't.

    I meant that's what I would do, it's not the stewards decision.

    Is this the decision or your opinion?

    Reckon that will be the outcome. At least there was no knee jerk reaction by the stewards that ruined many races last year.

    <doh> for me


    I agree with Silver.

    In reality, the stewards will present a five place grid drop for Lewis and a 10 place for Nico.

    He did it twice to Alonso. First Alonso was not fully alongside and backed out like Lewis should have, second time he was alongside and pushed to the extremities of the track

    Why should Rosberg be let off with a slap on the wrist? Which is lest we forget what a reprimand is.

    Intriguingly, the last time four different constructors won the first four races was 1983, when the winner of the first race (Piquet) went on to win the WDC and the constructor that won the fourth race won the WCC. A fifth different constructor won the fifth race.

    Piquet did appallingly in the second race of 1983 - a DNF but listed 15th. He came 2nd in the third race and DNF'd again in the fourth.
