it seems Mercedes have said Hamilton's claim is "broadly accurate". Nico is as petulant as Schumacher became in his desperation to win, I remember him side-swiping Hill and trying to do the same to Villenueve the following year, then there was the time he nearly put Barrichello into the pit wall, another time he parked his Ferrari across track at the 1st turn at Monaco after he'd posted the fastest pole time.

What Rosberg did can lead to the other driver trying to exact revenge and someone getting killed. He can't be allowed to get away with it or it could turn into a free-for-all.

It's going to be interesting to see what the team do to punish Rosberg. Unless it has a direct impact on Rosbergs ability to score points Hamilton won't be happy. A slap on the wrists and a telling off or a fine won't make any difference to Rosberg.

I only watched the highlights on bbc this weekend. I love Spa but this was a boring race after Nico did the dirty! :( :mad:

I don’t think Nico meant to hit Lewis, but it was a big mistake going into your teammate on lap 2.

Like Desertstorm said, Mercedes will only sort this in-house, so not really going to help Lewis. :(

Imo, Nico saying to Hamilton after the race he deliberately hit him, was just to wind him up even more.

I think the interview with Nico said it all (on the bbc) showed no remorse for hitting Lewis, only regret was it stopped him winning the race!! :mad:
Top drive again from Ricciardo. :applaus: Umm.. I cannot remember.. who’s is teammate this year?
:D
 
Mercedes are ONLY interested in the Constuctors Championship

Punish Rosberg? I don't think so; he's the one getting the points.

Mercedes are ONLY interested in the Constructors Championship and while they are leading this championship it's still theirs to loose; and they've now lost the last two races through driver error (maybe?), and it isn't over yet.

As I said to RS3copilot on that first lap entry to the bus stop chicane, "this is gonna end in tears" and so it did...

I couldn't stop laughing, Monza just can't come soon enough for me... :racer:

Tossberg needed to resort to dirty tricks because it's the only way he could beat Hamilton who is a far superior driver.:uk:

Interesting Daytona500 that this is not the first (or second time) this "superior" driver has crashed with his team mate:

"Hamilton crashed out of the Canadian Grand Prix after colliding with team-mate Button"

To win you first have to finish... :tapedshut:

two ways of looking at it one Rosberg made a rash error of judgement as was seen later in the race when he tried to overtake and failed and ended up being overtaken by Bottas in a failed move the other hamilton new he was there so he should have used caution instead of closing the gap as he did as I don't think rosberg would have managed round anyways he can't overtake.

Joking over, as I actually follow F1 religiously with a 100% Hamilton supporter/wife; and for all us nationalistic souls, just think of the disappointment for all those British engineers and staff who put hours and hours into providing each driver (most drivers in fact) with the best equipment to go racing...

A bad effort from both guys...
 
The Team isn't actually doing Lewis any favours neither. I find this amusing.

Germany, let's ruin his brakes, start from the back, finish 3rd! - Fail

Hungary, let's burn one of his engines up, start from the pitlane, finish 3rd - Fail

Belgium, he's qualified 2nd!, faaaack, Rosberg, just take him out ***! - Win!

very diplomatic of you @jojo hahahahahahhahaa
 
So Nico has apologised to the team and Lewis, and they are free to race for the rest of the season as normal, whoopee do! I'm still not convinced by it all, it's more like a team order to tell him to apologise to the public, a slap on the wrists as Lewis would say...

But anyways, game on!

They both seem to have suffered mechanical issues this weekend, could be one or both won't make the flag. Time for Massa or Bottas to take the win then. Preferably Massa.

Karl.

Looks like its going to be a one stopper, so important to be leading after the first lap.

Think you maybe right Karl, the Mercedes isn’t bulletproof, but I hope they stick together and we have a good race.

It was very frosty between Lewis and Nico …..let's ave it

I think Lewis should let Nico past on the start, follow him for most of the race, then clip his rear tyre with 2 laps to go! :D

Racing incident.... :whistle2:

I am with E.J that was the punishment for rosberg there's no way that was a mistake, TV even captured toto going on the radio after he done it.
as after he never attacked that time and showed it.
 
Lewis is alot better driver than Tosserberg! I think there is still alot of twists and turns to be had this season :racer:
 
Can't see Lewis catching Rosberg if they maintain 1 & 2, he needs Rosberg to DNF at least once
 
6 races left, hamiltons 22 points behind, with double points for the last race, he gained 7 points today so it is more than do-able imho.
 
do-able, but not likely he's going to get a run of wins to the end of the season, but I'd like to see Hamilton win it by only 1 point. That would really grate on Nico's last nerve. :)
 
Do-able but highly unluckily with the luck Lewis has with the car, which as a driver must make him soooooo frustrated!
 
2 DNF for Tossberg would be great, and 2 1st for Lewis. Would Toss catch him then, doubt it. But I can see Lewis win it from here as long as the car stays reliable.

Monza: If that was a genuine "lets race" race then my belief in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and Spooky ghost, has been restored.

ALL of those guys at Curborough, later in the day for me, showed more honesty in their endevour - well done ALL those guys/members...
