More rank closing by the Germans and Austrians at the Austrian Grand Prix

Icy Gull · Jul 3, 2016

100% Rosberg's fault but Wolfe and Lauda would really like to turn it into it being Hamilton's fault.

FIA are even investigating Rosberg for causing a collision but not Hamilton.

Lewis needs to get out of this team IMO they have clearly been favouring Rosberg all season but the World Champ fighting back well.

Team orders coming up now, with Rosberg being favoured as he is in the lead of the Championship race, I reckon.

Do they not have the best car so why should he want to leave them as it would be madness.

Ferrari and Red Bull closing the gap and maybe even McLaren next season.

I am not arguing as I know nothing about F1 but that seemed an obvious question to me.

Lewis will be fine, Icy. You're being over-anschluss.

Garry Nelson's Left Foot · Jul 3, 2016

It seems that every time Hamilton and Rosberg get into a proper wheel to wheel race Rosberg either makes a mistake (goes wide for example) or just plain crashes into Lewis.

Maybe, but you expect the bosses of a global company to at least be fair in their interviews. Both Lauda and Wolfe looked like they were sucking lemons and were insinuating that it wasn't 100% Rosberg's fault in forcing Hamilton off the track and then not leaving him any space to come back on again. The pair of them (Lauda and Wolfe) have let themselves down badly in their blatant bias towards the honorary German who is actually a Finn.

They don't deserve a driver of Hamilton's quality winning them title after title, Rosberg is a lucky man that he gets so much backing when he is clearly an inferior driver.

With team-mates like Rosberg, who needs enemies?

Icy Gull · Jul 3, 2016

Rosberg given a 10 second penalty. As he finished 14 seconds ahead of Ricciardo it changes absolutely nothing. Cool punishment for causing a collision

He also get two penalty points on his licence as a slap on the wrist for being a naughty boy.

Scareystuff, that'll make sure he doesn't do it again :smile:

Rosberg is a grade a ****, hopefully Hamilton will leave Mercedes at the end of the season.

Icy Gull · Jul 3, 2016

What a surprise, the F1 driver heading up the stewards today was Austrian Alex Wurz...

Motogull · Jul 3, 2016

The sport is far too sterile in this era. Rosberg was bang out of order. Hamilton should have chinned him. James Hunt would have.

Didn't Lauda blame Rosberg after the race?

Rosberg's brakes blamed by Lauda on Sky F1 immediately after the race.

Hillian1 · Jul 3, 2016

Wolfe said it was brainless, but never mentioned which driver he was talking about.

Lauda never mentioned blame just brake failure, then muttered something about Rosberg.

That move by Rosberg had nothing to do with his brakes, he didn't start to turn the steering wheel until just before he drove Hamilton off he road. EVERY commentator on Sky and Channel 4 blamed Rosberg 100%. Wolfe and Lauda fudged it and tried to cover up for Rosberg IMO :shrug:

maltaseagull · Jul 4, 2016

I can never understand why Hamilton's pit stops are always slower that Rosberg's He came out behind him yesterday!

Bold Seagull · Jul 4, 2016

Behind closed doors can only hope Rosberg is getting an absolute grilling. Wasn't like Hamilton made a last ditch lunge, he was ahead a fair bit from the start of the corner, after Anthony Davidson's excellent analysis we can all see Rosberg didn't turn his wheel and intentionally tried to force his teammate off the road. Hamilton left a huge amount of room, he could have squeezed tighter but he left 2 car widths but Rosberg knew he was beat and tried to run him off the road. There is no defense for what he did, the equivalent of a dive in the penalty area. He's a horrible spoilt cheat.

Bit harsh!

They knew there was a brake problem from the telemetry but had hardly had a chance to look at the analysis of the collision before they had a microphone shoved up their noses.

Hamilton is a pretty aggressive driver himself too and they have previous on this type of incident. Not trying to excuse Rosberg, who was clearly at fault, but I don't believe in the conspiracy theorists either!

P.s. wonder if the booing was due to the collision or a result of Brexit?!
