Im going with the professional racing driver, Rosberg should have left a cars width for safetys sake instead of blindly pulling over and not even checking his mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabella Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Usual Hamilton negativity above, guess it's personal preference, but a tad bias. There was a gap it was shut, they hit, Rosberg lucky to not get a slap from the stewards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Rosberg was on the complete wrong side of the track for the racing line. Sure he can move "a cars width" to defend, but he moved nearly the width of the track and didn't leave a gap for Hamilton. Rosbergs fault for me, not leaving a safe gap and for been in the wrong engine mode (so was going too slow) as we all know he can't remember anything since they introduced team orders rules because he was always asking the team on the radio for advice.

I agree with this TBH. Completely Rosberg's fault, he ended on the wrong side of the track for the racing line, admitted he knew hamilton was coming but then proceeded to put his car on the inside white line. There is no cars width with where he has placed his car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 The rear red light flashing on Rosberg's car meant it was down on power, Hamilton took his chance to overtake, Rossberg tried to defend his position, Hamilton was forced onto the grass, he lost control (understandably) and took them both out. I initially thought it was Rosberg's fault but looking at it again I'd say it was a racing incident. I'm not a great fan of Hamilton or Rosberg but I want to see driver's racing and 'going for it', sometimes things go wrong and having both Mercedes out of the race made it a bit more exciting.

T2 MSW Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I call it being smart seeing the rain light flashing and knowing it meant he had an advantage. Rosberg made his one move he is allowed under the rules, the rules state he has to leave racing room. He didn't leave that room which caused the rest of the issues.

Rosberg made his one move he is allowed under the rules, the rules state he has to leave racing room. He didn't leave that room which caused the rest of the issues. Rosberg aparently started the race in the wrong engine mode, the red energy harvesting light shouldn't have come on in the first lap and it meant there was a 180hp power/speed differential between the 2 cars when the red light lit up. I doubt Rosberg realised until it was too late he was down on power and just how quickly Hamilton was coming up the inside. Maybe a setup mistake by Rosberg on the formation lap and something that probably wouldn't have happened last year when the driver's engineer had a lot more communication with the driver before/during the race. I like that the drivers are more self-reliant this season, mistakes are going to be made and it seems to be mixing things up a lot more at the start of the race. I enjoyed watching the 2 Mercs taking each other out, I'd encourage them to do it more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wile e coyote Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thought it was a great race They should take each other off more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't leave that room which caused the rest of the issues. obviously if Rosberg had broken the rules then the Stewards would have penalized him - especially the one car width rule which they take very seriously on safety grounds. Had hamilton been convincingly alongside then it would have been a different matter. One car width rule doesn't apply. Agree with Nic - racing incident one that should have been avoided had hamilton played the long game rather than being desperate to correct his 1st corner embarrassment.

BoGlE Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 So Monaco this weekend. Hoping for a Hamilton win and a Nico Cheatburg mistake like last year. I can only hope lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 For the sake of at least making the championship interesting, Hamilton needs a win here. The double wipe out in Barca will hopefully be the momentum swaying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 he went quite well if FP1, Riccardo has the new reno engine and he still beat him. Was scary seeing that drain cover hit buttons car though, if that had flicked up higher and hit his head it would have killed him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The race will be the qualifying, Sunday will be a procession most likely, hope I'm wrong though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
