Rosberg was trying to punch way above his weight and got his head bashed in.

Well, he was trying to stop the car?
Then why didnt he block his wheels? Considering Rosberg knew Hamilton was there.
Because locking wheels stops you less than not-locking wheels.

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?
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:

Nico caught cheating again. He seems unable to win on a straight fight.

Hamiltonios are having a field day, even though they apparently won straight and faultless. =D>

Great job from Wehrlein to get a point, I lost track of him after he unlapped himself behind the safety car.

So despite having brake problems and a brake by wire problem, nico brakes LATER on the DIRTY side of the track. Hmm...

He only had ~10 laps fresher tyres and was slower. Perhaps they expected this advantage to be a formality?

I think your missing the point, lewis at least turned in. Nico didnt. Drivers run people wide on exit, not entrance.

Definitely, ROS made a mistake there (but having braking troubles), but HAM moved in strangely aggressively when it was clear already that ROS was not going to hit the apex.
Almost looks like he's going for Nico's frontwing, very dodgy move. Seems like he succeeded. Pulling a Jerez 97 there?

If it had been deliberate, he wouldn't have turned. It's Nico's mistake, no doubt about that, but he surely didn't do it on purpose.

Absolutely agree,no second thoughts about this incident.
Merc headache and am sure they will bail out the differences inhouse than in public,

Those who have known Nico for long, clearly know he would do it on purpose. That's how messy he is.
