Everyone here has a lot to say about Nico Rosberg, but suddenly he says something that verifies their opinion, and he's spot on?

He literally slowed down into the corner, then randomly pulls out wide, no where near the apex.

 

[sparkymark75]

Horner will do a bit of whataboutism and try pull the focus onto the Leclerc and Max collision and the following Russell incident and say he was hard done by.

Horner is at the printer as we speak printing out his mitigations!

 

[Mad_Jay]

Cool down room the drivers reaction says all. Wish they had shown the Russell onboard view because it looks even worse

Not seen Max's onboard of it yet either, must be pretty slam dunk.

honestly he is growing on me, to start off with I really wasn't sure about him, but he has some excellent insights and a balanced opinion on most things.

 

[Mr Jack]

I think Max thought he had contact from behind when he had that snap on the last corner. But the collision between him and Leclerc was 50:50 - Charles moved, Max should have moved - and both Russell collisions are down to Max.

 

[Feek]

Haha norris. I've done that before in Mario kart.

I’ve said it many times before. Max drives in real life how I drive in racing games.

He’s just proven me right. Again.

 

[edGfaCTor]

got a feeling Russell will get a pen as well for the first one.

 

[cuke2u]

The telemetry will reveal all.

Which we don't have access too, I'm sure they can review the incident again and if necessary give a harsher one however the precedent might have been set by the Seb and Lewis incident.
We shall see...

I don't think so. It depends who was ahead at the apex, its a Max style divebomb. Probably why RB said to give the place.

I otherwise agree common sense says George's fault.

 

[Mr Jack]

Why? And didn't they already call that no further investigation?

 

[gary996]

That's wild, he's a knobhead but he's box office lol

Totally agree with. There was no need for that

I mean, he can simultaneously make total sense with his commentary *but* also want me to jump out my loft room window to the street below to escape his talking...

I find he's another Vettel, I've found myself liking him since he's retired.

 

[Mad_Jay]

Max must he biting his tongue in the media pen, doesn't want any MBS naughty boy swearing fines either I imagine.

Or just doesn't care

 

[Slam62]

Good lord, nice of Max to provide some entertainment at the end there.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Luckily(Or skilfully) for him it was wheels to wheels. Imagine he fully public lobby'ed George and himself out of the race...

 

[Dup]

I can't imagine Red Bull will be happy he threw away points they can't afford to lose given the other car is handicapped and they're not in a race winning position every weekend. He can't argue a championship lead. It's about time he was publicly humbled by those who protect this behaviour and hopefully learn the business of F1 is above any driver, even him.

 

[CSMonkeh]

Slightly ironic is that the person closest to Max in the championship is….
George
Few more points gained there

Also just seen Sky Sports holding a poll whether Max should be disqualified;
I know British bias, but last checking it is 88% YES

Where would Red Bull be in the championship *without* him though? Below Aston Martin?

 

[muon]

Sounds like Max should have just kept the place.

RB obviously were worried about a penalty dropping a lot of places though.
