If Ncio went any further inside he'd have been on the grass with Hamilton.

Yes, and nico had track position and was on the racing line. You can't just barge someone out of the way because they are in the place you wish to be and are slightly faster than them.

Ya even if he gets a penalty from this it was probably worth it for Nico. Lewis is going to think twice before trying to squeeze him out now.

Yeah it was my bad, I thought it was the left hander next and that Nico was being oblivious and taking the racing line, instead he was a moron and swerved across the track offline which is even worse

If Nico was going to defend the inside he should have done it sooner. Lewis was committed to going there and Nico reacted to that and closed the door too late. Lewis, already committed, had nowhere to go and ended up off the track then into Nico's car.

What do you think happened? Wolff said nothing of relevance really, the most scripted and neutral thing he could say. Surprised he didn't start talking about Ferrari potentially challenging them for the championship now.

Except you're totally entitled to defend the lead and Lewis can see he was harvesting out of the corner and would've hit him going into the corner at that pace.

He was blocking Lewis....

You're allowed one move to defend your line, Rosberg went way over and Hamilton could've easily swapped over if he didn't double down onto the grass. In my opinion they just tripped over each other.

tbh I don't really care that much, best outcome for this is that they both get penalties for Monaco. Sky are talking about Lewis getting a point on his licence and getting a grid drop like it's the worst thing the stewards may do to him when that's a best case penalty.

Send them your manuscript again. Maybe they didn't read the part where Lewis screams at them petulantly and quits F1 to be a rapper and his sales aren't very good and red bull win the world championship with VES and he invites you up on to the podium with him because of your excellent posting in TWT

Playing chicken with red bull or possibly thinking Vettel will be faster on a new set of tyres in clean air and will effectively be able to defend when Daniel has to pit later.

Crofty or someone said they set the car up for Friday with it being way cooler so its going to eat tires today. Probably a little bit wrong.

But like someone already said, he blocked too late. There was no time to double back like you're suggesting because the gap closed too fast, the grass was the only option at that point and the rest is history

Right now Ferrari are looking at a solid 3rd and 4th, may as well try something different with one driver. It's just surprising that it's Seb they are gambling with and not Kimi.

I don't think that's the case, Brundle said just earlier that Vettel effectively has track position.
