If Hamilton was far enough along side that he would have hit Rosberg then Rosberg shouldn't have carried on moving over as he did. Rosberg did though so surely falls foul of the rule quoted earlier in the thread.

Yes he does I agree, he moved twice.

So can Max get 31 laps from those Mediums? Really doubt it.

I think RBR have screwed Max here and gifted Ferrari 2nd, and maybe even 3rd.

I don't know what times the hards can do (~.05 secs slower than mediums?), but at least they might have lasted, no chance I suspect on mediums.

Rosberg will get a reprimand at the end of it.

Skeeter · 15 May 2016 at 14:01

Er, wut?

4 stop?

Yes sorry, I read it as you were saying Rosberg was aggressive, my mistake.

Hamilton's fault imo. Stupid move that was never going to work. Couldn't hack it being 2nd after the start and went at Rosberg aggressively to get back ahead.

Rosberg and Hamilton still team mates in 2017?

Shock as racing driver tries to make an overtake.

Rosbergs contract expires this year. Hamilton has one for 2017.

Of course it would have worked had Rosberg not driven him off the track.

wtf ferrari...Vettel had just got into 1s range and they pit...and now he has to pass kimi and verstappen on track with only 3 laps fresher tyres...

englishpremier · 15 May 2016 at 14:05

Not sure about the Ferrair strategy. Vettel's tyres are only 2 laps newer than Kimi's

If Rosberg wins the WDC, which is likely, the yes.

Who would Hamilton go to unless Mclaren suddenly get a decent car next year.

Unconfirmed reports that Rosberg has signed.

Palmer gonna get done

Great race.
Don't t get why they pitted Riccardo so early. That surely gives a massive risk for 1st to 4th

Mercedes should be banned from gps with red bull and Ferrari so. Close

Nope.

He was going too fast and would have went wide at the corner and possibly hitting Rosberg if he didn't back off.

Stupid move.

Skeeter · 15 May 2016 at 14:07

So looks like Ricciardo is going to have to pass a couple of people to win this...

steve45 · 15 May 2016 at 14:08

they will both be driving for Merc next year, this will all blow over in a few races and will be all but forgotten until the next incident.

The more i watch it the more it reminds me of playing forza online in a public lobby, some people go to some serious lengths to stop you from passing them.
