I would like to see Team Lotuses debriefs with crashtor

Rosberg's actions could have caused a serious accident by him making a decision not to back out knowing there's a risk. That's hardly a million miles from knowingly casting an accident.

Even Rosberg admits he's not a wheel to wheel racer on Hamilton's level so why pull a stunt like this on the second lap

*causing

Is there a video of Rosberg saying this, or are we going by Hamilton's comments?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

we both know it is complete bollox , no driver with anything that resembles a brain is going to turn into his team mate and in so doing damaging his own car and his race and severely damaging his own championship chances -

--------- normal fickle fan reaction putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 39
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ayrton Senna?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
what about senna
--- when he hit prost at japan up the rear end at japan 1990 he won the championship with that move so he hardly damaged his championship in doing it --
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So it was okay that he did it to help him win his championship, right?

Hmmmm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you are missing the point manx -- senna had nothing to lose and everything to gain at japan 90
----- rosberg had everthing to lose today if his intention was to ram lewis with his own car --
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So Rosberg had nothing to gain?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
off course he had nothing to gain by turning his own car into hamiltons
------------- come on manx wake up and smell the coffee mate

I have no issues with Nico fighting with Lewis, he just has to be smarter about it. He cost his team mate and team big points and has created a negative atmosphere in the team.

He needs his team to win a championship. You do not alienate them this way.

Can you please explain this to me as I am confused

"Rosberg's actions could have caused a serious accident by him making a decision not to back out knowing there's a risk"

Indeed, but Hamilton has twice this season defended from Rosberg in a dangerous manner. Had Rosberg not taken avoiding action in both of those cases, there would have been a collision. I think Rosberg is just completely fed up of having to be the one who yields & giving Hamilton an advantage.

At the end of the day, drivers do things to gain advantages. The difference is, drivers dont admit to the bending of rules. Rosbergs a fool for doing that

Lewis is a hard racer and like Brundle says, he plays with his front wing a lot.

He has calmed down these days but used to be very aggressive, maturity has toned things down a bit.

This season I recall a move he did to Rosberg in Bahrain which was tough but fair.

I think he's been burned many times and has minimised this with everyone bar his team mate for obvious reasons.

I'm a fan of hard racing and do not want people gaining cheap positions and will criticise anyone for it. Unlike some, I do not hate people and attribute every negative thing to them and blame them all the time.

I have no issue with Nico standing up for himself but do not take your team mate out.

come on manx dont make me explain it abc fashion to you -
------ prost needed to win the final two races at japan and aus to win the 1990 title anything less than that and senna was champion so by taking out prost at japan meant senna was automatically champion that year -

------ rosberg"s situation is very different as both he and hamilton are very much still in the championship with 8 races to go ( before todays race ) so neither could risk damaging there own cars with the other still very much in contention -

Martial I think the point we are debating here is whether Rosberg had something to gain or not and in the context of the championship. He gained 18 points on his rival for the title.

Are you suggesting that is not a championship advantage?

Mate, the golden rule is still, do not take your team mate out.

Nico needs the team behind him to win the title and should not alienate them. It is only logical.

Webber is a textbook example of what happens when your team is not behind you.

Of course every driver wants to beat his team mate, I have no issues with that. Do it fairly is all I ask.

If Nico wins the title this year, this incident along with Monaco and Canada will be brought up, sullying his title win.

There was no need for it except he did not believe he could beat Hamilton fairly.

Which he has admitted to

The team have confirmed that Hamilton's account of what was said is accurate.

It is now being spun into Rosbergs comments being misunderstood imo.

The team have got to show hamilton some solidarity now, otherwise they are going to lose there best driver

No need for that mate. Rosberg has shown everyone his hand now. Put your seatbelts on, its gonna be one hell of a ride

I would add a clause in the golden rule.

*unless your action will not cause the team to lose either championship.

Considering RedBulls resurgence, it may have far reaching consequences

come on manx -- look at the wider picture mate -

before the incident rosberg had nothing to gain and everthing to lose by even contemplating turning into lewis so why would he do it -

----- as it turned out only by sheer luck because there is only a small chance of puncturing a rivals tyre with your wing rosberg ended up with less damage but he was not to know that before the racing accident took place -
