I can't watch the Sky feed so I hold out for the channel 4 stuff, which in a way means I avoid the shittier sky interviews. Doesn't seem like channel 4 even tried to interview toto, but there's a great moment with Rosberg where they tell him Lewis blamed him for the crash and Rosberg literally can't think how to respond so just pulls off this bizarre raised eyebrow look.

pithy but no not at that point. It's very trivial and only by a matter of yards but it does rather highlight everything that's wrong with the stewards.

Yes he was, the front wing was lodged underneath the car as soon as the two of them had their crash and they started on that next straight. It's also at the lights you have to concede and stay behind the car in front of you. "If the car is visibly slowing and having a problem you can overtake"

Just caught the race. That was pretty blatant by Rosberg, he just straight up drove into the side of the other car.

I mean, I'm glad he's getting more aggressive instead of letting Hamilton stomp all over him, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to panic and drive into your opponent every time they're about to overtake you.

He overtook Nico under waved yellows, Ant took a great deal of pleasure in slowing the footage right down and pointing.

We must have watched a different Ant then.

Nico should resign from the Grand Prix Drivers Association and never mention the word safety again. It he was a real man he would have parked the car in the middle of the road and walked away. We would have thought much better of him. It was the worst thing I have seen in Formula One. I thought he had grown up. He is a cheap cheat. He should leave F 1 to honest people.

I think it was a press conference towards the end of 2014 and Nico had made some comment that Lewis should be more careful on the track, and this was right after Spa.

Just watching a replay, I'm on lap 7 and they just showed a fair few shots of Vettel just after Jenson got overtaken by Kimi. He was not staying off the kerbs as ferrari claimed, and not only was he not staying off the kerbs he had one side on the the unsafe over time solid red kerbs every time he went on them.

:captainpop: :boom:

My take: I don't think Nico did this on purpose. I think Nico tried to squeeze Lewis out of the corner, because that is what Lewis does to Nico literally every other time he gets past. And I'm willing to bet it's the only overtaking maneuver Nico knows apart from "foot hard down, DRS open."

The problem is that Nico is such a fraudulent, poo poo driver that he bumbles the maneuver and straight rams Lewis. This will not be the last time this happens.

Either way, the race was great. I laughed when Lewis was booed, and I hope these two chucklefucks DNF each other every race so that our Lord and Savior, Kimi can robot himself to a second WDC.


[edit] This is how you properly squeeze someone out:

If Kimi winds the WDC this will go down as one of the greatest seasons in the history of F1.


Just imagine the mass petulance across the grid as Kimi mumbles and swears while getting out of the car in Abu Dubai.

If you want to see how our dads post check any article on motorsport.com related to Mercedes. My dad's reaction to the denial of conspiracy theories from Mercedes was "well they would say that wouldn't they" and "they made lewis say that"
