I just hope this thread won't get shut down from fanspam concerning the ROS-HAM incident.

As far as I'm concerned it's a racing incident. Rosberg tried an overtake, failed and then just went into the corner, not trying to take full blood. He could have slammed on the brakes, but imo that wouldn't make sense. Also, perhaps he could enter the turn a bit more deeply, but not that much.
Hamilton could have taken a little bit more of a safer line, since him keeping his position was assured at least into Bruxelles.

I'm edging towards Coulthard's opinion.

Small incident, big consequences, bad karma.
Thank you really doesn't really describe enough what I feel. - Vettel

I seriously don't understand why Lewis wasn't allowed to stop earlier, he is one engine down and could not even follow a Lotus, no way he would have been able to pass anyone even with a SC ... and with rain the car would have been even worse to drive -.-

Moved to this page, no place for Rosberg anywhere.

Horner says vettel damaged his car jumping over the kerb attacking hamilton. Could be the case because ric is not 1s quicker tbh.

Thank you, you just proved Rosberg was at fault.

I know you have experienced massive depression now that Ricciardo has beaten Vettel on pace but instead of funneling that energy to hate of Hamilton, keep that on Vettel and root him on instead.
It´s better for your health.

The US commentators think they kept him out, just so they could retire the car and thus have freedom to change certain things without penalty.

Deja vu from Canda Grand Prix?
Qualy: Rosberg first and Lewis second
Race: Lewis managed to get in front of him, then both drivers had a problem but Nico finished second and Lewis didn't finish.

On the incident side, when it came to being lucky or unlucky in this race : at the last lap Alonso and Vettel had the EXACT same incident, but the latter escaped unhurt and Lewis didn't ...

It's hard to like Rosberg when he can make mistakes like this and still claim second while his teammate retires. Somebody on the BBC feed said it best: his WDC will be hollow one. Ricciardo is the true champ this season.

So how many recent examples have we got of people getting penalties for giving someone a puncture ?

Yep, just saw that. It's a miracle vettel's tyre stayed intact.
