100% Hamilton's fault
Should apologise to Nico

I like seeing Max taking the stage
Räikkönen 2nd in points behind Rosberg
The reason Mercedes aren't bringing the hammer down on Hammertime is if they blamed him for the crash then so would the stewards - and that would mean a 10-place grid penalty for HAM at Monaco. A 10-place grid penalty would mean he'd have no chance to win. Thus the team got its story together and everyone agreed to pretend "we're both at fault" so as to protect the team from losing even more points at the next race.
Note the crucial phrase "Having heard extensively from both drivers and from the team" in the FIA's decision not to penalize:
> FIA statement
> The incident concerned started when Car 6 dropped into an incorrect power mode, as set by the driver prior to the start.
> This created a significant power differential between Car 6 and Car 44 at the exit of Turn 3 coming onto the straight, resulting in as much as a 17kph speed difference between the two cars on the straight.
> Car 6 moved to the right to defend his position, as is his right under Art 27.7 of the Sporting regulations. Simultaneously Car 44 as the significantly faster car with, at that time, apparent space on the inside, moved to make the pass. Art 27.7 requires the leading driver to leave room, if there is a "significant portion" of the car attempting to pass alongside.
> Car 44 had a portion of his front wing inside Car 6 small fractions of a second prior to Car 44 having to leave the right side of the track to avoid an initial collision, which may have led him to believe he had the right to space on the right. Once on the grass on the side of the track Car 44 was no longer in control of the situation.
> Having heard extensively from both drivers and from the team, the Stewards determined that Car 6 had the right to make the manoeuvre that he did and that Car 44's attempt to overtake was reasonable, and that the convergence of events led neither driver to be wholly or predominantly at fault, and therefore take no further action.
Jos should start a karting track + racing school so he can bully more Dutch kids into becoming F1 stars.

Olivier Panis won in a Ligier in rain (Monaco 96).
Winning in rain ain't worth shit.
ferrari should just sack vettel desu, he can't even beat kimi
>>67611048
Olivier Panis was pretty good, he would probably have won a race in 1997 if he didn't break his legs. Also, he was as fast as Hakkinen and Coulthard in testing
if you think it's hamilton's fault you're just a racist desu

>>67610770
I dunno, to me I feel like they both just made a bad judgement call.
Hamilton tried to dive down the inside, knowing that Rosberg was most likely going to take the racing line. Which he did.
Rosberg was too busy looking at his wheel to change the settings, whilst also trying to race, so he didn't notice Hamilol coming down his side until it was too late.
>>67611316

>>67605370
>Should apologise to Nico
He already did.
>>67611475
While ROS might have left a little more room, he was also under no obligation to do so. And only HAM had any idea of his closing speed, so only he could judge whether this was a serious chance at overtaking or just a hopeless dive bomb that would crash them both. Lauda summed it up pretty well.
If the driver in Hamilton's position had been from another team - either a competitive one like Ferrari, or a backmarker whipping boy - Mercedes' description of the event would have been very different.
Think of it this way: how would Sky and its phalanx of F1 fellators (legion of Lewis lickers?) describe the crash if it had Hamilton leading, and Maldonado behind? Think they'd be going on and on about how Hamilton was at fault?
Cool that a cow can have its own flag.
I know Max is not the most handsome or adorable looking driver, but this photo is pretty cute desu. It's like Christmas morning, him being absolutely amazed by the presents Santa gave to him
>>67611903
what the fuck is that room the average prison cell looks less shit than this
>>67611903
He always came across as a bit of a cunt to me until I watched a few non enlish interviews. Seems to be a pretty decent dude with an unfortunate face and a weird dad.
This incident was basically hamilton racing 101. From his very initial days he as done this to everyone on track excusing himself as racing incident but when others do same thing its end of world.
His driving is like let me create this position where if other guy doesnt move/leave space both cars are out. In most cases someone is sensible enough to avoid crash and ends up giving position to hamlets.
My question is if you want other driver to move to avoid crashing then where is this magical space you speak of to begin with.
GUYS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE UNADEQUITE
>>67611982
Looks like hes in one of the RBR motorhomes.
>>67611709
It'd be funny if Lauda sold the advertising space on his hat to a sunblock company.
>>67612013
rosberg didn't even see hamilton there. he was fucking with switches on his wheel. it's 100% rosberg's fault. if rosberg hadn't messed up his engine mode then it wouldn't have happened.
>>67612013
>typing out all this nonsense to try and justify your hatred for African Americans
>>67611988
Pretty much. I can't imagine what is must be like for a 18 year old to live in a world where everyone is paying attention to every single thing you say and do. And with such crazy circus around him he is managing himself fine. Usually in Dutch interviews he's quite relaxed, somewhat humble and has some pretty funny bants now and than
>>67611988
Now that you mention it. In Dutch interviews he sounds much more casual saying whatever is on his mind, where in English interviews it appears he just says some bullshit prescribed by the team.
>>67612319
Most of the time he's fine. He is also really good at giving short answers that barely answer the question. I can imagine it is annoying as fuck to have to answer the same quesitons like "how do you feel" etc over and over. Today was a special day for him but he got asked more or less the same questions
>podium
>post-race conference
>journalists for like 10 different stations in the normal post-race pen thing
>exclusive interview with Sky sports
>Probably some shit for Dutch TV afterwards
And all the questions are the same "how do you feel?" "how was the race" "what is it like" like everyone basically knows what the answer is going to be anyway. But yea must get frustrating to answer the same thing 10 times
>>67612015
Was he really karting in 2013? Not in GP3 or anything like that?

It's pretty clear that Merc are indeed being ginger about that Ham 10 place grid penalty potential. If there is no immediate penalty then he obviously should have gotten some points taken off or whatever the system is. Didn't Max get something like that for Monaco 2015? Button definitely did for his contact with Maldonado in China but that was a bit more clear cut.
Hamilton is fucked for this season though. He is going to have at least one, probably two grid penalties for extra PU components as he's already on the 4th one on many of them. Maybe even some got damaged in the crash today? And the Merc engine isn't as bulletproof as before, as evidenced by eg Force India. And if he gets one more point then he gets another grid penalty. And even then he NEEDS to finish first and Rosberg can finish 2nd like a million times behind him without actually losing the lead.

>And if he gets one more point then he gets another grid penalty.
It's one more reprimand.
He is fine on penalty points.
Max is the highest on penalty points but will drop the ones he got for his stupid crash in Monaco last year.
Although that does make an interesting idea that when you get 5 or 10 penalty points you get a 5 or 10 place grid penalty respectively and when you get the full 12 points you get the full race ban.
>>67612804

If Hamilton wins the next six races with Rosberg finishing second, the gap will be 1 point.
Goddamit why cant we have a normal race between Nico an Lewis?
>>67612531
I still remember that Holland Sport interview so well. Not sure why though
Still can't quite believe what we've witnessed this afternoon lads.

Yeah, it's possible that's the case too. I'm no expert and I'm not a Mercedes fan either, that's just the way I felt about it.

sorry for being late with this family. I've expanded it since the first version, hope you enjoy
Quelle le baisage did you just fucking say about moi, you peu bitte? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my lycée in the Renault crashing académie, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Fernando Alonso, and I have over 1 confirmed race bans. I am trained in wheel-to-wheel warfare and I’m the top divebomber in the whole of Swiss motorsports. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will crash you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on la Terre, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Maldonados across Venezuela and your telemetry is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, connard. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your engine. You’re fucking dead, môme. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can end you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just at La Source. Not only am I extensively trained in losing my front wing, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Scuderia Ferrari and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable car off the surface of the track, you little backmarker. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, tu fichu crétin. I will shit la furie all over you and you will DNF in it. You’re fucking dead, putain.
>>67612966
I know it still hurts.
>>67612686
Also having just watched Hamilton's POV of the accident, I think he thought he would be able to overtake on the grass or something, or 2 wheels on grass.
He doesn't actually come off the throttle until he is already on the grass for some time and then starts breaking, at which points he loses it pretty much. It reminds me of that incident between Ros Ham at Bahrain in 2012 where he overtook Rosberg basically off track and didn't lift at all, except this time there was grass there.
The accident was partially caused by Rosberg going slow but the car behind has to react to shit like that. And Hamilton was aware of it and his reaction to the whole thing was to not lift AT ALL and try to carry crazy momentum into an overtake on the inside. Had he breaked or eased off then he could have handled the situation better. Really not that smart driving and I think he basically spilled his spaghetti because he knows he hasn't won and was frustrated etc etc. Just listening to his engine and how he didn't lift until going onto the grass does demonstrate a sense of recklessness that definitely should be punished by at least a warning of some sort but I guess not because muh Merc tactics
>>67611982
It's his apartment. Jos has said that he will keep Amx there until he wins the championship.

I'd be happiest if neither of them never raced again and Merc folded tomorrow but if MWL must continue then at least have Rosberg win it once (and then hopefully retire without defending his title)
>>67612941
We had two solid years of that, we don't need anymore.
>>67613222

>>67613109
He's been at Merc since the beginning. While he was dragging around the fucking tire munching tanks with Schumacher for three years, Hamilton was winning races and challenging for the championship. Nico deserves the championship.

Thanks a lot poop senna. Would have been 8 today for sure.

Yeah I actually thought both Kimi and Max were going to have to pit one more time for softs at the end. I thought that was the strategy as they were the non-leading drivers, so they would pit earlier and then get fresh tires for the end and go flat out and see what happens. I was amazed to see that the tires actually lasted to the end so well esp. when the other medium stints were like ~20 laps
can someone explain MAD AMX?

This is the first time, the first time that I've ever seen anything like what I've seen this weekend. This weekend is just unbelievable lads, and I mean that Sebby. With all due respect Sebby, loved you to bits, loved you to bits, but I tell you something: Amx, Helmut, and all the boys, are putting it on the next level, and it shows in the drivers standings. We're now .. hang on a minute.. we're now sixty-one points behind, sixty-two points behind. I went to F3000, I went to GP2. I have brung my daughter up, when she was in school, "oh Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Williams, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes" and I.. I stuck by my guns, I said "listen sunshine, drink the red, drink the bull.. drink the red, drink the bull, we will come through." And all of a sudden my daughters's turned round and said to me and looked me in the eye today - looked me in the eye - and turned round and said to me "Dad, Dad.." Amazing. Absolutely amazing. She's seen drivers, she's seen class drivers, like Sebby, l-like.. oh, honest to God..Now, tell me.. you cannot, you cannot, you cannot tell me we have not got a chance of winning the drivers championship. And listen, th-this is.. I gave you preferential treatment Sebby. You cannot tell me, you cannot believe we cannot win the drivers championship, please.

Cold tires and brakes. The cars have less stopping power than a Prius if the tires and brakes aren't super hot from braking into corners at 300 km/h every minute.
Why did Grosjean retire?

>>67615180
Embarrassing
Lets not forget max only won because he lucked into the best strategy and both Mercedes accidentaly each other.
Okay he defended well in the end but still, the Redbull is much better on slow corners and Raikkonen cant drive shit.
>>67615180

I saw this on TV I'm glad someone saved it. That bit where it just goes nuts and sprays everyone.
The heck kind of fire marshals are those they can't even use a fucking extinguisher.
>>67615478
nah he didn't have time to stop. rosberg went way too far to the right and cut him off.
>>67615543
>Okay he defended well in the end
When?
He just drove. Kimi never looked like he was going to make a move.
And he didn't luck out of it. Red bull knew it was likely to be faster and so switched Ricciardo which Ferrari reacted to with Vettel.
>>67615543
moreover, this happened on his debut in RB, what are the odds Mercedes cucking it right there....
things are defo falling his way atm and one of the things you have to do is capitalize on that. he won the race vs 3 cars potentially faster then him.
if you take away from that, you don't understand much about racing.
yes, I'm bias, but its still true.

>>67615838

Definition of a racing incident. Sure, Nico could have left more space for his teammate, and sure, Lewis was going for a gap that was always going to close, but neither relented.
I wish stuff like this happened more in F1, but because of DRS nobody tries to make daring passes anymore

It was a weird race. On the one hand it felt eventful, but now looking back the front 4 basically stayed in their positions the whole time. The only real track position change was due to stop strategy.
>>67615433
underrated post
>hamilton trying to get through when there wasn't much room
bbc newsreader is so based.
>>67616066
Again it is his good right to defend his line because he was a whole care lengh ahead when he started to turn to the right and it was stupid from Ham to try it with full force instead of doing at the next corner. I'm glad Rosberg didn't back down like he always did before when Ham forced him off the track several times. Ham did the same to Button at McLaren and Massa some years ago.

Guys.
Guys, what Max did was fine too, but remember Vandoorne, he scored McLaren's first points. He's immensely talented too. Remember him. Guys pls.
>>67616839
the only reason there wasn't a penalty given to either of them is because Toto and Paddy didn't want to put the blame on anyone. for the sake of the championship battle they declared it a "racing incident."
but, again, hamilton did NOTHING wrong. he drove perfectly. rosberg choked
>>67616884
I remember him, he scored points on his first race in a shit car. That's pretty impressive.
>>67616898

>>67616884
I totally forgot about Vandoorne. When does Super Formula start?
>>67616884
>tfw McLaren will keep Alonso and Button for 2017
>>67616769
wut
he could take that line every lap if he was so inclined
rosberg basically closed the door by moving right and hamilton thought he was going to be clever and cuck rosbergs strategy (e.g barrichello on schumi at hungary) by going past him on the inside because he read Nicos move as him trying to force Hamilton onto the outside. He probably assumed in his rage and based on Nicos beta driving that he would yield and leave a space there for him, which he didn't.
This situation is a bit like (using the rubens schumi incident as an example) if Schumi started the straight and moved right to the barrier on the right hand side before Barrichello was alongside him (and then Rubens crashing into the wall and complaining that Schumi didn't leave him space).
Alonso's "leave da space" rant is actually not valid in the situation where he said it because Rosberg just drives all the way to the edge of the track before Alonso is alongside him. He knows Alonso wants the inside line and blocks it, but if he blocks it before Alonso is on his side, he can do that as you can select whatever line you want.
So its basically Hamilton's fault for reacting so shittily to the situation. If someone takes the maximum inside line to a corner or straight then you cant complain that theres no space on the inside because you're not entitled to it, being behind the car

Red bull deliberately fucked Ricciardo's strategy so that Max could win

>>67617464
"It's just like a video game!"
>>67617111
Alonso yes, Button not so sure
Button is looking more and more destroyed and uninterested recently despite the "upward trend" of McLaren. They cant keep Vandoorne waiting forever. Or they can but there's gotta be a point where retaining Button just isn't that great of an option anymore. I guess Button is cool and sells a bunch of shit for sponsors but other that his career is looking to be close to over
>>67617482
Rise from your grave!
>>67617482
then so did almost every other team. it's all one big conspiracy to fuck over your #2 driver and cost your team points
>>67617482
>>67617624
Whats surprising is that Vettel or Ricciardo (pre-puncture) didn't even catch the 2 in front that easily depsite having tires that were like 10 laps fresher. I was so sure Kimi was gonna hit a cliff after following Max for so long yet nothing happened and the tires were fine and apparently the tires of Vettel driving in clean air performed no better lap times than Kimi destroying his tires with Max
Imagine if they didn't swap the drivers.
It could've been Kvyat there
>>67617482
This desu.
mad amx win will sell far more energy drinks.
>>67617798
Yeah Vettel confirmed this after the race. His softs were perfectly fine when he went in for the mediums and they just didn't degrade at all. The teams seem to have underrated the tires and the Ferrari accentuates this even more by being light on the tires.
>>67615987
Vettel drove better than Ricciardo this race, that's why he finished in front.
Ricciardo left the track on his 'overtaking attempt', I didn't get why the Sky commentators were praising him. It was just a stupid move from Tricky Ricky.
>>67617482
Because "Youngest driver ever to win a GP gives RB first victory after so long" headline gives more exposure than "RB wins a GP after x races"
anyone blaming hamilton is a racist

Kill yourself m8, srsly. Ric couldn't even overtake him despite having much fresher tyres, if anything ricci "starting to crack and revealing his true colors once again".

Can someone explain DRS rules?
>>67617661
Button seems like he just doesn't care any more. He's always joking around in the interviews just like, man I don't give a fuck.

>>67618752

>>67617798
They were catching though weren't they? But then the Australian menace upset Vettel by trying to overtake which dropped them back a few seconds.
>>67618588
if you're non-male or non-white you get to open DRS wherever you want to make up for patriarchy and oppression
>>67618588
at marked places on the track (normally 2) if you are less than 1 second behind the guy in front of you you can use DRS
It basically changes the rear wing so it creates less drag, giving you more top speed
>>67615298
Hamilton should have backed off. Going onto the grass like that was always going to cause problems, at the very least to himself. But unfortunately he also cucked his own teammate.
Rosberg had every right to defend his position.
Selfish and dangerous driving by Hamilton.
>>67618990
Thanks but the American fellow had better memes. Please work on that.

Unless there was a blue flag involved, there's no such thing as a "free" pass.

Yeah he was quite nippy, I was kinda expecting them to catch too, especially with fresher tires. Didn't see a lot of overtaking though desu.
>>67619477
Yeah he's not into it any more, he just seems so aloof and uninterested. I don't blame him though, it must be like that for all former WCs who are now in cars that just aren't competitive.

Just watched the race
What the fuck Kimi?? He just rode around on Max's tail for the last 20 laps. I know paying is harder than it looks but fuck, he never tried. Not a single attempt to drive or anything.
>>67620890
Mercedes convinced the stewards they'd punish Hamilton internally because a penalty for Hamilton would mean he'd be further penalised in Monaco (he was already on his second reprimand of the season, a third equals a grid penalty) which would mean starting further down the grid and having to overtake lots of cars which would be unlikely as the Mercedes a shit in dirty air, which would mean they'd get less points from Monaco than the usual 43.
>>67620981

>>67620981
I don't understand why the stewards would want to wait until a team 'does something' or makes statements.
or why even a driver needs to see them.
there's rules, use them.
if you can't find an infriction, let it go. or penalize.
why allow yourself to be played.
oh wait politics.
>>67621048
>agree with quite a few of the things they say but I'm not an actual nazi.

>>67620980
I don't get it either, he was like 20+ km/h faster on the straight bringing him to ~0.4 seconds behind Max.
Though he obviously struggled to stay on the track and lost about ~0.5 seconds consistenly on Max in the last two sectors he should have been able to try and torpedo a bunch of times. The Ferrari is definitely the better car.
Reminder that if you think the nigger dindu nuffin, you're a retard.

Usually the hard work is getting in to drs range, then it's an easy pass. Gimi was within a second every lap. How did he not get by.
Again, HE DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT A DIVE
>>67621152
Holy shit just go straight back to Facebook and restart that internet career. You receive no money.
>>67621139
I think so too. plus kimi's tires where going quicker as he was the one in dirty air and tryng to catch up.
amd just had to control that and knew the last turn would be the one place he could ruin it for kimi.
pretty smart, or pretty smart coaching.
>>67621094
I don't support golden dawn.
Not even that much far right.
I just can't stand liberal bullshit, muslins and I'm quite racist.
To sum it up, I'm not a "kill the shitskin" kind of guy, more of a "stay in your own fucking country and everything's fine" kind of guy.
>>67621214
its true though, they have yet to redpill me on anything.
Honestly today just showed how bad today's drivers and cars are at overtaking.
Guys like Prost, Senna, Mansell were great at passing. What the fuck happened? Can drivers no longer get by without drs?
>>67621197
It's the nature of the track, turn one is tough to pass into even with DRS and Max was getting a much better drive out of the last turn. The other DRS point is after a fast turn that is hard to follow someone too close through. Great track to drive, not very conducive for passing.
>>67621282
>more of a "stay in your own fucking country and everything's fine" kind of guy.

>>67620979

>>67621296
if I am correct then those drivers had groundforce, which means downforce came from the chassis and not from aero.
so those guys where able to overtake.
these modern guys are not because areo.
>>67621333
>>67621369
>>67621296
> short term memory
Bahrein & China anyone?
>>67621391
I think he meant in general. and its true. even drivers are bitching about and saying they want to get rid of aero and return to ground force because it enables them to overtake.
>>67621391
Ok, then it's the track. Get rid of this shit track. Take away the whole country while youre at it.
>>67621296

I quite like her toes and feet.
No one will read this but it has to be said:
As WAGsguy I would like to say thank you to all of you for being kind and nice.
Thank you for putting up with the initial (and frankly still) shoddy file naming structure.
Thank you for accepting it and encouraging the posting to continue.
Thank you for the arguments and discussions had about the women of formula 1.
But I'm afraid I must stop.
I initially left after a few close posters of mine were banned during a discussion on jelly beans while my equally off topic WAG posts remained and I was not banned. There were numerous other occasions but this was the final straw. I left with those posters to 8ch's /F1/ board where a /WAG/ thread was set up and has grown well. Though I had moved I always felt some level of connection back to here and visited, posting WAGs in hiding and generally trying to contribute to try and help the thread
I'm afraid to say that I will no longer be coming back and posting in the hardly secret and infrequent manner I have been doing.
To some the news of my departure will be met with praise as I was just a shitposter. To others you will simple call me an autistic faggot for writing this and tell me to fuck off.
That is fine. This general has changed, it has evolved in my departure and is the main reason I will cut my ties with it.
It's been a great time but all things must come to an end. I hope you all well.

in all honesty I think rosberg felt bullied by Hamilton in previous season. Hamilton pulled some harsh moves on him (but survived most and won)
rosberg feeling like a pussy had enough and was gonna do the same, and it failed.
ergo, he just lost his mojo and Hamilton gained his.

>people are actually falling for bait in this thread

Mostly because people here are so scared of getting butt-fucked by politically correct people that they're afraid of giving any opinion that see's a black guy in the wrong.

I also get sick of all the Hamilton cocksuckers.

Makes me cringe each time I see "Toro Rosso" or "Scuderia Toro Rosso". Why the fuck couldn't they just keep the name Minardi and paint a big Red Bull logo on it? Just imagine a black/white or black/yellow car with a RB logo. I remember they used something kinda like that while testing Toro Rosso for the 2006 season. Also considering that just using the Minardi name would have boosted their sales by 200% to what they sell now.

Why did people in here shit so much on Kvyat this weekend?
He seems like a chill, down to earth guy. He certainly is the opposite to the Russian stereotype.
>>67627255
he set toro rosso's first ever fastest lap and made some fucking solid overtakes during the race
not bad for his first race back with the team imo
>>67627255
Because every RedBull driver that isn't Max Verstappen is expendable at this point.
>>67610770
>as to protect the team from losing even more points
Did they asset how many points the team lost due to that bullshit taking place? How much will they lose in case of later repairs/parts changes/whatever farther down the season? Is it not better to curb down a tempered driver a bit early on?
That being said, I love Hamilton induced drama and hope for more.

BLACK DRIVERS MATTER
>>67627658
>Car 44's attempt to overtake was reasonable
>>67627658
Taking also into account that Merc rapidly told them to not argue in public and how to behave and what to say in front of the stewards because a reprimand would have cost Hamilton/Merc 10 places next race.
If it were between different teams, Hamilton would have been punished.
>kimi has raced against jos and his wife's son
is he the first driver to race against a father and son in f1?
>>67627861
i don't know about other father-son pairs but in verstappens case wouldn't button be technically the first since he joined F1 earlier than kimi
>>67627883
Graham Hill drove against Andre and Teddy Pillete in 1964 and 74, so I'd presume he's the first.
>>67627765
And that 10 place grid penalty for Hamilton wouldn't be for just any old race - it would be for Monaco, where it's almost impossible to pass.
Starting outside of the points at Monaco would cost Mercedes dearly, and that they're allowing none of Lewis' usual whining shows Merc is pissed off about this crash and intent on doing damage control.
I do wonder whether Formula 1's recent decades of Tilke baby-fication of tracks, where there's hectares of paved runoff and no real consequences for leaving the racing surface, may have affected Hamilton's judgement. Drivers have been trained to try impossible passing moves because "upgrading" the tracks has meant there's no meaningful consequence for failure.
>>67622356
LILLYPADS CUNT
>>67627747
>Car 44's attempt to overtake was reasonable
This is lawyer-speak. What they're saying is that his move didn't meet the threshold for punishment, partly because of the extenuating circumstance of the speed differential. More importantly, they say that Rosberg was completely in the right.
What Lauda said was that Hamilton was driving way to agressive, and that he shouldn't have put himself in that situation, because Rosberg was 100% in the right to defend the way he did, leading to the crash.
>“Lewis was too aggressive to pass him, why should Nico give him room he was leading.
>“It was a miscalculation in Lewis’ head, I blame him more than Nico.”
The report clearly state that Rosberg's move was completely legal. It was Hamilton who
>Car 44 had a portion of his front wing inside car 6 small fractions of a second prior to car 44 having to leave the right side of the track, which may have led him to believe he had the right to space on the right
>which may have led him to believe he had the right to space
>led him to believe
i.e. Hamilton was in the wrong, but he's not getting punished because of extenuating circumstances. doesn't mean it isn't still a driver error.

This is exactly what happened. On most tracks, they can just go wide on exit, cut the corners, overtake with two wheels outside the track, you name it. Then they go to Red Bull Ring, Suzuka or something and they suddenly find themselves in the wall, because grass has no grip.
Yesterday was a good day :)
>>67628058
Rewatching the webm it really seems like he's actually aiming at going outside the track, but once the tires hit the green, he's in panic mode because WTF GRASS WHY IS THIS ALLOWED

Better than bitch tits Raikkonen who didn't even have a go...
>>67628471
I'm also wondering where he wanted to go next?
Even if the outside was concrete and not grass, they were rather close to the turn to begin with.
would he have taken the turn off-track too? weird.

He's just saying RB has a fighting chance there, since grip is way more important in monaco and it's where RB cars excel. I don't think anyone expects amx to get his second win.

wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a GP of Europe(!) in Baku(!) this year.
If Max wins five races every year, he'll need 18 years to equal Schumacher's 91 wins.

>>67628471
This is pretty much what happened. I posted about it yesterday, might have been in this thread or the previous one. If you listen to the engine he doesn't actually even lift until he is on the grass
This incident in Bahrain 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC05YfPIBVc
It's the exact same as Barcelona, except this time there's no grass on the outside and Hamilton just keeps it floored and overtakes off track. I'm pretty sure he wanted to do something like this but forgot grass was a think or assumed Nico would move over.
Tarmac runoffs around the tracks are cancer

When I saw Hamilton with his head in his hands I immediately thought he was upset because he'd realized his "I'm Lewis Hamilton, bitch!" passing maneuver didn't work on grass.
>>67632137
https://streamable.com/6gub
I hate to defend Hamilshit, but you really can't blame him. Are we really going to penalize drivers for trying to pass? It wasn't even a risky pass, the gap was fully there. Without even touching that senna quote, it was just a standard pass attempt, until Nico fucked it up. It was a bit too aggressive for the first lap though.
At least he tried. I more pissed about Kimi who just followed max for twenty laps without a single pass attempt.
>>67632293
Drivers are allowed to close the door if they're not side by side
And Nico only moved once
Hamilton was the one who literally turned into the grass we he saw the door close, instead of lifting just a little and going on the outside
>>67632358
Every thing your day would be right, but Hamilton WAS next him barely. Barely, but his wing was there.
>>67626873
Truely a cheeky pass.
>>67632358
This x1000. Don't let the borderhopper fool you, Rosberg did a defensive manouver, a move ANYONE would have done. That nigger wasn't even near side-by-side. At no point at all.
>>67632387
Fuck you borderhopping scum. The door was already closed by the time his front wing was next to Rosberg's wheel. Not that this would count as side-by-side anyway.
>>67632387
The rule is that they need to have a substantial amount of the car next to him, they even explain that in the thing the stewards released afterwards
>>67632436
>Dutch speaking about border hopping
>tfw no more McLaren 50 place grid penalties

>>67632387
read >>67627658
also pic related. This is what happens to you when you are too used to tight boipuss openings.
if rosberg was in the wrong engine setting how did he pass hamilton on the outside before the crash?
>>67632587
hamilton managed to get an even worse start than him
>>67632587
No point in charging the battery when it's full.
>>67632293
>I hate to defend Hamilshit, but you really can't blame him.
Sure I can. There's passing, and there's being stupid - and Hamilton's pass was idiotic. It wasn't a standard pass attempt at all. Putting a car in the grass even under the best of circumstances is usually a recipe for a crash. In this case he took out his teammate too, and cost his team what was probably going to be 43 points. Hamilton got exactly the right penalty for being so stupid: he crashed.
Unfortunately Rosberg was also penalized just as much for Hamilton's stupidity.
As far as Gimi and the usual processional at the front of the field, when the cost of a failed pass is likely having to pit to change tires (since both Amx and Gimi were nursing their tires to the end) passing is never even going to be attempted.
When a series is fundamentally not very competitive, and the price of failure is wildly higher than the reward for success, the "racing" will often be a circulatory formality.
One of the highlights that went unnoticed: the pass on Vettel by Sainz in the third corner. Went around the outside like a boss.
>>67632640
Next year we will get tires that let the drivers push hard from start to finish. Thank God.
>>67632697
That was Verstappen, he first lost position to Vettel in the first corner but then took it back, sainz passed vettel on the straight before turn 3 i think
>>67631468
>the last thing Kimi sees
>>67632739
Sorry, I meant turn 4. The same corner where Rosberg and Hamilton crashed. The Red Bulls were already in front of Vettel, then Sainz braved it out on the outside and moved into 3rd place.
Here you can see the start of his move: >>67615166
Proper US GP when?
>>67632774
Right, I though he had already passed him before turn 4, you're right, great move by him, great race for him as well. I wonder what is gonna happen to Kvyat as he was BTFO by Sainz.
>>67632812
He'll stay at Toro Rosso for the rest of the year and then gets kicked out. Gasly is busy with GP2.

The ruling states " a significant amount". Five centimeters sure isn't even close to that amount and Hamilton would have been penalised by FIA had Mercedes not stepped in.
