Rosberg got literally driven off the racecourse by Hamilton at the start. I am watching the rerun on NBC. I realize, Rosberg didn't want to wreck both of them but that was as blatant a move by Hamilton in F-1 I have witnessed in a long time.


I was referring to his error later on in the race when he was leading - comfortably.

There is a reason Rosberg is the #2 driver...

Hamilton had the first corner, it was greasy and only so much room. A wee bit aggressive but...

Rosberg backs off and tucks in behind and no problems.

And Rosberg showed his #2 stuff when he was in the lead.

No way it was like Massa taking one for Schumi, he simply blew it.

That too Indy. Hamilton was really throwing himself around that track yesterday and it was obvious to many.

IDK Indy. That's not racing per se. Tell them to race clean but race competitively.

I thought they were racing "cleanish".

When you head into a corner neck and neck on a wet track it's almost impossible for the person on the outside to make the corner.

We saw #2 stuff up his race all alone later on.

So as the enter corner #1, I saw no way for them both to go through and Lewis really didn't do much other than negotiate the corner. If he had tried to carve is closer he'd have spun.

#2 had to back off. But he didn't.

I put at least 75% of fault on his plate.

I like a hard racer. That doesn't mean you try to kill somebody, but yielding when you are in control is out of the question...

Well, as bad as conditions were, apparently last weekend was "ideal" by comparison.

This is COTA this afternoon:

Holy Schnikies!
