Hamilton should get a penalty. This is getting ridiculous. Last race to Ricc now again to Rosberg.

Wow I'm not surprised seeing this from you. Once again the Ricc incident was explained already and even the drivers seemed to have no issue after the fact. Lewis gave him room there is video of it and pictures showing this, Ricc was on the wet part of the track had no traction and loss the back end. Wasn't pushed. Same here, there was no room both drivers are fighting for the same real estate, Lewis had the position though.

And Jenson on fire, poor guy.

RTL just had a quick chat with Niki Lauda, he saw it as a normal race start :indiff:

I really don't get some of you guys, anything the guy does and he gets automatic flak, the guy in the Merc garage that is probably the most brutally honest, says it's fine and that's not good enough. It's as if you need someone to say "yeah that was awful let's punish him..." damn if does and damn if he doesn't it seems.

He also had wheel lock, where was he suppose to go? Just give up the position that he had so people would be happy? It's a tight corner and I see it as a racing incident. Both drivers have some blame, if Rosberg played it cool he could have backed out a bit and be running second after turn 3.

When he bumped Nico, Nico was on the inside ( middle of the esses ), sorry, but IMO the blame is on Lewis ( I think he saw there's a run off for Nico and went with it )

Would be nice if Lewis actually followed the rules. It's like watching Dick Dastardly race when Hamilton is in a battle for position, he just runs everyone off the road.

If it were any other driver, you could call it the driver simply holding the racing line. But Hamilton is in the middle of situations like this so frequently that it's hard to see it as anything but dirty driving. This is the third race in a row where he's made a move like this; once might be an accident and twice a coincidence, but three times is a pattern.
 
Rosberg was ahead though. Hamilton HAD to leave room.

But leave it to the stewards to leave a blind eye. Don't want the Hamilton conspiracy theorists waking up again...

F1 is going to the dogs with this a** driving.

Put him in a midfield car and watch him struggle.

They bumped between turn 2 and 3 that's a short transition. Lewis yet again was on the racing line, had full lock when they bumped thus had no way to give more room. If he went for it then it would have been like it was at Austin last year. Where there was less lock and yet "somehow" Nico drove off. That time it was blamed on weather conditions but I think that it was deliberate elbows being stuck out. This time I don't think so at all.

Look the only way people will be happy is if Lewis fights all drivers with a car length between, if he fights close it's always called dirty.

Why would they. It's Hamilton...

Yeah cause that logic sticks, cause no investigation happened in Spain. You know just 12 hours ago I posted in response to another member, exactly what's wrong with F1. It's fans being so biased towards others that you can't pass out the rose tinted glasses fast enough.

Some of the crying on here is hilarious :lol:

Desperate, even. They could do so much better wheel to wheel, I'm sure.

In other news... not quite the mad race we were hoping for so far.

EDIT: Face Palmer has retired.
 
Massive strategy FUBAR by Ferrari... unless they can run 60 odd laps on a set of softs.
 
Palmer out, there is a race going on folks....

Please then explain how Hamilton makes these moves and there's never any reaction?

Suzuka, USA, and now here. He knew Rosberg was there so he can't use that excuse.

Simple fact is Hamilton didn't give Rosberg the room. That should earn him a penalty. But it won't because it never has in the past. I've seen drivers get penalized for much less

They don't like getting involved in the first lap unless it's a clear-cut case of wrongdoing. There is an appreciation that the drivers need to sort themselves out and intervening is counter-productive. I doubt the stewards would care about a few angry fans.

I have no bias towards any driver in F1, not a fan of any of them, I only go by what I saw ( I have no idea what happen at Austin last year, didn't watch it ) Let's just agree to disagree :)
 
I don't think Hamilton has some of the best wheel-to-wheel moments on occasion, but crikey, the amount of people out to get him is ridiculous.

So Spain didn't happen?

Suzuka, USA, and now here. He knew Rosberg was there so he can't use that excuse.

I already said I found the USA deliberate, but most saw it as track conditions causing the cars to both slide wide even if complete lock wasn't achieved which is believable. But as a fan that saw the build up and how he could win at the US and thus close out the championship that Sunday...well it becomes a bit more obvious.

There was no room here, Turn one at Circuit of Americas could have a farm to the right side and still leave plenty of room that's how wide a dedicated circuit is...this is Canada a street circuit that doesn't have as much room at places. Like the place where the incident happened.

Don't know where I said anything like that, but please continue to see what ever fits you best in the comments :cheers:

How does Hamilton get away with this time and time again?

With racing incidents? Probably through doing a lot of racing. If the collision had been harder it would have been Robserg's fault for driving into a closing wedge when the guy in front had already been shocked wide on cold tyres.
 
@Christian_C Well I wouldn't Sky are, just Crofty, which doesn't surprise me in the least.

It was similar to what happened in Turn 1 in Austin. He did not get a warning or penalty back then, so why should the stewards change their mind now? I didn't see it as a big issue, and Rosberg could have backed off - Hamilton should not take the full blame imo.
