Laurel/Wolff and Hardy/Lauda team management. Undercut and different tyres - that's the reason - chew on that Toto. It's your creation - but as long as we like results...
Where the f**k was Nico going?
- It was on the level of Hamilton pushing off in USA '15 which wasn't considered by those two as excessive at all.

Great pass by Hamilton in spite of clumsy aggression from Rosberg. Rosberg doesn't seem to have the best judgement in these situations. Either he's a walkover or he gets overly aggressive. Both drivers could have been out with that amount of contact.

To all the people in this thread commenting about tyres - check the tyre allocation. Rosberg had an extra set of Supersoft tyres, Hamilton an extra set of Softs. You use what you have left. The Softs were the best tyre anyway. No chance Hamilton would have got close to a pass if Rosberg were on the same tyres, so it ultimately worked in his favour.

To Ted Kravitz - what a biased, bumbling hack you are.

Awesome. Rosberg will hide behind a supposed break problem, but that certainly wouldnt explain why he refused to turn into the corner.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

You see Rosberg's hand, he's trying to turn the car..only problem is he had BBW problems, why trying a defence so hard?

Toto & Lauda coming up with weird and non cohesive answers but that image and the video footage, makes it very clear who is at fault.

So that is why Hamilton was on USED softs in the end?

Ant davidson is analysing it now, Rosberg didn't even turn in until he was almost level with the apex

On board shots were clear... Nico wasn't even trying to turn the steering on the right. Very clear for stewards. :lol:

Rosberg didn't turn in at all he just kept going straight into Ham
Well, he was trying to stop the car?
Then why didnt he block his wheels? Considering Rosberg knew Hamilton was there.

Mercedes biggest mistake was leaving Lewis out too late allowing Nico undercut (which you could see a mile away watching the live timing). If they bought Lewis in 1 lap sooner it would've been a easy Mercedes 1-2 .
