so what is Rosberg's punishment?

Vikk it will taint it, people still talk about senna' and schumachers incidents.

I think when we look at the season objectively, it is a wonder Hamilton is only 29 points behind after suffering 3 times more dnfs than Rosberg and still has more wins.

The gulf in clas and quality is clearly apparent which is why Nico resorted to dirty tricks for the second time.

He is a very good driver though, of that there is no doubt

MA.

He deliberately put his car in that position, no chance of a pass with Hamilton on the racing line, he was at fault.

The team have said Ros was at fault and Ros has apologised.

He was in the wrong no matter how you look at it.

Nico Rosberg took a totally unnecessary risk that could have led to both drivers or either driver losing out in the points. He was stupid for doing it and was lucky that he ended up benefiting massively as a result of his stupidity.

The intelligent thing for Rosberg to have done was to stay close to Hamilton and pass him easily once DRS was enabled. Simple! There would then probably be a Mercedes 1 – 2.

One thing drivers care about is their money so I would fine Rosberg 1/19th of his pay.

here what you are saying sid but i believe it was more of a intimidatory move just to let lewis know he was on his gearbox --- something we have seen many times before by many drivers and we will see many times more in the future and is perfectly acceptable in the heat of battle -

as it happened it all went belly up with lewis coming of worse , however you are only talking about a miscalculation of a few milimetres and on a different day both drivers would have got away with it -
----- but i agree the miscalculation was rosbergs fault -

why one 1/19th ?

That would equate to one race's pay.

The race that cost his team and team mate a lot of championship points.

I wonder what martial's view of that incident would be if it was Hamilton in place of Rosberg
