I don't see as to why he should be punished
he has just been disciplined by MB-but they are not saying what his punishment is
yer I know...saw it on the BBC...what I meant was I didn't see it as that big a deal
As I just wrote on another article, unless MBR instruct NR to 'retire' (would have to be plausible for FIA not to take action) in Monza, which they won't, any internal punishment is not going to help LH. Damage already done.....

Poor Nico, if he wins the championship, everyone will point to this incident and Monaco.
was always gonna happen when 2 team-mates are given free licence to race each other....
Senna slammed into Prost in Brazil opening lap wins the title legend in most peoples eyes
Nico glancing blows Hamilton....worse German since...I dunno can't think of any at the minute
What annoys me about the whole thing is that people make out Nico is some kind of angel. He has lied now twice in public, deliberately cost his team mate points and then had the audacity to blame brits for booing him for his actions.
Shame, as I like him and have no problems with him standing up for himself. Just man up and admit when you've done something wrong. This apology has come a week late and the damage is done
Mudd I agree....but I wouldn't even have apologized...Yer I wanted to show my team-mate I'm not afraid of him...so what if he retired...fúck him
it's what Schummi would have done
They gonna punish Rosberg by Giving him the World Title...

Schumi would not have been behind Hamilton, trust me
Tino, when Senna slammed into Prost, wasn't the latter driving for Ferrari?
When they were team mates during the previous season, it was the other way round. Prost tried taking out Senna, but he continued only to be disqualified after the race.
I'm pleasantly surprised that Hamilton admitted that he's made mistakes. Hopefully that's enough of the rough driving from the pair of them. Hamilton won't shove Rosberg off the track when he tries to overtake, and Rosberg will pull out of lost causes.
This is no big deal. The media try to make it a 'Prost v Senna' story. It's not.
IMO. Rosberg was trying to show Hamilton that he won't be bullied on track. He fecked it up, no big deal. Move on.
Rosberg was in the wrong.
That is why we are discussing him causing the crash and not Hamilton who was totally blameless in this incident yet was the one who lost out.
As far as Hobo is concerned, Hamilton is always wrong.
Maybe I didnt make myself clear earlier I know/knew that senna and prost were no longer team mates was just using them as an example of worse racing incidents
whitehotlane
why should rosberg face punishment as he did nothing wrong unless a very common racing accident that has been seen many times before is deemed to be punishable ?
no driver deliberately aims there wing at a rivals tyre knowing he will lose a bit chunk of that wing and so jeopardise his whole race -
i dont even think he planned to get past hamilton at the time it was merely a challenge to intimidate hamilton as he was quicker than hamilton at the time -
on a different day both drivers would have got away with it as we were only talking about a difference of a few millimeters in between clipping hamiltons tyre and not clipping it -
------- racing accident
--------- nothing more , nothing less -----
If someone didn't do anything wrong, why has he now apologised? Also he was obviously embarrassed in the post race interviews, as was quite obvious by his demeanor.

If rosberg goes on to win the title this won't taint it.He will have a world title to his name and his name will be written in the history books.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
your on the money there vik --- a simple racing accident as this was certainly wont taint rosberg"s championship if he does win it --
----- ultimately rosberg will be judged on the quality of his performances and as we have seen he is very much a match for hamilton in speed and ability and makes fewer errors than lewis and would seem to have a much stronger character than hamilton -
in all probability if hamilton does not win it this year the racing press may not have alot of sympathy for lewis due to his moaning and petulant demeanor when things dont always go his way --
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.
