Head To Head Nico Rosberg vs Lewis Hamilton

[Lewywo4]

When the did Lewis deliberately run a driver off the track like that?

Sebastian Vettel lap one, Belgium 2014?

It does entirely depend upon your point of view...

 

[Il_leone]

snowy actually Vettel admitted his tyres were cold and could not stop for the cormer oyherwise he would have ran into Hamilton

 

[snowy]

And there I was thinking, he was trying to avoid running into Lewis and all the time he was trying to hit him!

 

[Hamberg]

Here's the defending tactic taken by that little ***** at Bahrain in 2012.

[

Wasn't that incident the reason for the clarification of the rules, that Rosberg was not guilty of breaching therefore not a *****?

 

[snowy]

I would like to read that clarification if possible. It would be very interesting if it happens to exonerate him, because it would also exonerate Lewis and give Nico's "making a point" a little less tenable.

"I absolutely hate coming second to Lewis" The words of one Nico Rosberg after China (or somewhere). With the title fight now at boiling point Hamilton takes his self proclaimed adversary at the first corner. Cue the red mist and the driving like a hot headed amateur.

snowy did you say Belgium 2014 on the first lap? Did I miss something..

 

[Chad Stewarthill]

snowy from what I remember, they concluded that Rosberg's trajectory was not a violent and sudden swerve to the right, so much as a smooth and natural extension of his exit from the previous corner.

I believe the stewards might all have been German, of Finnish extraction.

I absolutely hate coming second to Lewis

I don't think any true racer likes coming second.

One for the "new Senna and Prost" school of thought. At least they had the the sense to decide the championship when they hit each other. A case of being premature in this instance I think.

Maybe Rosberg was just practicing for later in the season?

I can remember some scraps with Massa which ended in tears and Lewis not innocent in all of these.
Lewis has had enough penalties for incidents, but ofcourse in all of these he was really innocent.

Well Lewis can not be (but has been) accused of a sudden swerve during the Belgium GP, there was nothing sudden about it... Perhaps Nico should be penalised.

 

[RasputinLives]

Well it appears Jenson Button has declared for team Hamilton!

Maybe he wants to be his team mate at Merc next year.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Nah, been there done that...

 

[The Artist.....]

For all those calling for Rosberg's head, I suggest you read this balanced article:

http://www1.skysports.com/f1/report...ed-by-critical-moments-in-hungary-and-bahrain

I would like to take issue with that article and the opinions expressed, they all depend upon the assertion that racing room is subjective and that legislation is only there to keep things from getting out of control. Whilst perfectly fine and probably true this incident doesn't follow any of the conventions and etiquette of any field of sporting endeavour. It is categorically not allowed for any sportsman or woman to retaliate, it is the function of the referee, steward, governing body to adjudicate and penalise transgression of the rules. To use your car in a retaliatory manor "to make a point" is in contravention of every convention in motorsport. Saying it was a low speed corner and not a dangerous manoeuvre is not an unbiased argument. It is the utterance of the insane, there are countless cases of innocuous retaliations mortally wounding and killing people. You just don't do it! Period!

 

[Wombcat]

The Artist..... Yeah, what the article says was kinda my point in the whole discussion.

 

[Wombcat]

snowy you say it's the function of the stewards to penalize. Well, they didn't, they either thought there was nothing wrong or that is was a racing incident.

You can't legislate for legislators or the people who execute the legislations.
