Bill Boddy Well technically the racing line in that incident is on the opposite side to where Rosberg pushed Hamilton off. Although the stewards seem to think that what he did was ok because he started to move before Hamilton was alongside. However this brings the question of if Hamilton wasn't alongside then why wasn't he penalised for overtaking outisde the tracks limits? Very inconsistent. Personally at the time I thought Rosberg was incredibly stupid to swerve that far across and so fast when Hamilton was that close, for me he would have recieved a penalty and the actions that Hamilton took were in attempt to avoid the collision. How Rosberg escaped punishment for a very similar incident later on with Alonso, I simply don't know.
