To quote Dazza, in tricky conditions he showed resilience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Get in, another great drive from Hamilton. Decision on rosbergs penalty? I'd say deserved from the late turn in, was way past the apex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the penalty was due to the fact that Rosberg's reputation is beginning to precede him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It looked very similar to the one where he hit Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the limit of adhesion - if he turned in, he would have locked up and missed the corner altogether, potentially taking out Max with him. The difference with the Austrian GP incident was that Hamilton had the corner, and Rosberg virtually ground to a halt before turning in. Today's move was risky, but most ex-drivers have defended him on that one, whereas they didn't in Austria. You're right, Rosberg has been desperate a number of times. Hamilton's great gift is being able to race hard but fair, but Rosberg seems capable of only racing with one of those qualities. That said, I don't think today's move crossed the line - but his reputation is beginning to precede him. Lewis, partly by design but mostly just by being Lewis, has got right inside his head. If Rosberg is beaten again this season after having such a clear lead early on, he's going to magic up some unprecedented mental resilience if he wants to challenge him again. I'm really surprised they gave him a two-year extension, but it's good to see a team show some loyalty. It would have been quite easy to be done with the hassle and just stick Werhlein in the car.

I might have agreed with you if it wasn't for his radio message when he was told about the penalty - he didn't complain that he'd braked late and couldn't turn in, he complained about Max's pre-corner (perfectly legitimate) manoeuvre and then told the team that they should "tell them I was on full-lock" - as the on car camera clearly showed he wasn't, it suggests he knew full well what he was doing and was trying to make excuses for it.....

If he's gonna make the move he needs to have enough braking capacity to turn in within the track limits taking into account if he doesn't he's either wiping out the other car or forcing him off. If he was going too fast to turn in on the apex he wasn't in control and thereby activist group too aggressively. Just my opinion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find difficult to comprehend is in Austria, Rosberg was given a ten second penalty which was never going to do anything to the result, when the crime deserved at least a place drop. Then fast fwd to this weekend and he gets a 5 second penalty which puts him 4th, when you could argue he didn't deserve it. Mind you, as has been said I think it is his reputation and his spoilt brat attitude that is getting the better of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
