You're right. The stewards, having delayed their meeting will feel obliged to give him something. The minimum available, a reprimand, will be OK for Rosberg, and terrible for Hamilton.

Whilst you can make the argument Lewis was aggressive, the crash was caused by him being run off the track with Nico not anywhere near the racing line

Nico has the greater guilt in my opinion and has gained in the championship as well as it is one less race for Lewis to outpost him.

The fairest approach is to call it a racing incident

If a penalty is given out, has to go to Nico

He caused the crash.

I do think there is a difference between squeezing someone off / towards the edge of the track when going round a slower corner and doing the same thing when travelling along a fast straight. The main difference being that, in the latter, there is generally more chance of a bigger accident, as we saw today.

Just my humble opinion...

And a good win by Verstappen.

Racing drivers are all the same. Ricciardo whinging now.

Keep telling folk, they are all whiny little boys when things do not go their way

Agreed. Especially when you are nowhere near the racing line

Nico should have let him through, he would have run wide on the corner and do the switchback

No penalties for the Mercedes boys

Good interview from Lewis, Mercedes have manages this well

Waiting for Nico

Lauda's comment that "Hamilton was too aggressive.."" is bluddy laughable.

Well, wasn't Rosberg too aggressive when he passed Hamilton after the start?

So it would have been alright for Hamilton to push Rosberg off the track rather than concede the position?

There you saw the difference between a racing driver and a brat.

As I say, laughable. Surprised and disappointed in Lauda's mealy-mouthed weasel words. I thought he was above that.

Rosberg came across like a right tozser in his interview and showed once again what he did wad premeditated

Anyone got a link to the interviews?

Here you go

I wonder if Hamilton ahad been in No6 and Rosberg in No44, would that have been a case of "causing an avoidable accident"?

Hmmmm.......

Cheers MUDD & POB.

Must say Hamilton comes out the better of the two.

IMHO It was an avoidable accident and Mr Rosberg was in the wrong.
On saying that, Lewis was a bit hasty. Then again what F1 driver is not?
