The Spanish Incident - Who was at fault? ***spoilers***

Have you checked the entire Sporting Regs whether there isn´t a point Hamilton violated? They said both were wrong and both were right so having the same amount of fault they are not penalized? It is obviously not as clear as you see it because the stewards know the paragraphs as well but came to a different conclusion...

 

27.GV If an accident happens it's Gilles fault and nobody else will be blamed

 

Onus of Responsibility of a safe pass is on the overtaking driver. Both were at fault. Both went for the same spot at the same time and neither gave way. It all happened very quickly. Racing incident, on to Monaco.

 

+1

Hopefully they'll do the same there too!

We may just get to see another classic race.....

You need to read the: Anti-Lewis Hamilton section of the official rules and regulations.

I think the details can be found in here somewhere: Lewis Hamilton

 

Believe the Rat has enough experience to make the informed call. Comments from a neutral party, gut instinct and zero politics involved.

Anyone want to bet it won't happen again this season ? .

 

No penalties for 'racing incident' Hamilton/Rosberg collision - F1 - Autosport

 

He started the move way before Lewis was next to him, but Lewis kept going right anyway. As I said, racing incident as both could have avoided it. It's usually on the following driver but the engine mode issue gave him less time to react, so not all on him.

 

Saw that but I still do not understand how he could outperform him at the start just to have less power two turns further...I guess you also just read the article but neither you or the article gives an explanation...

^^ A long winded way of saying "racing incident".......

 

That does seem weird doesn't it ??

Nico stars 2nd, passes Hamilton, THEN runs out of grunt !!!!???

I don't buy it .... Nico's a liar, Hamilton's an idiot, Mercs suck .... and McLarens

 

You bloody turncoat, you said it was Elton's fault, now you're reneging

You'll be kicked off this "expert" panel/forum

 

I voted it was Eltons fault as vote #1! No reneging here!

You should make the poll "visible" so we can see who voted for who

I thought it was Kvyat's fault

Also I don't believe Nico (I'm in an F1 race, I'm 2nd at the start, I pass Lewis .... ohh no, I'm in the wrong racing mode , now I have to defend against this lunging idiot, I'll do a Senna and crash us out as I'm ahead in the WDC)

I predict a few more crashes engineered by Nico that Hamilton will fall into

 

Where ever Hamilton was going, it was going ton be a disappearing gap. He was never going to make that corner unless Rosberg was going to brake extremely early.

Hamilton's fault, 100%.

 

Because you get full power in launch mode, then once you hit the brakes it reverts to the setting on the steering wheel. So, he had full power in the run to t1,then as soon as he hit the brakes it went into regen mode as that's the mode he had set on the steering wheel, while Lewis was in race mode.

 

I think this is a valid form of trolling here no? Kinda like asking what's the best oil?

 

I said both. Rosberg dipped inside to block Hamilton like he was allowed and Hamilton should've went outside and easily would've overtaken him. I thought nico kept moving right a little more than he should and Hamilton tried to overtake on the grass instead of letting up. He knew the outcome.

 

Oh ok, that makes sense but both of them would have had the same power shirley ?

 

Niki Lauda blames Lewis Hamilton for accident that costs Mercedes dear

Don't call me Shirley
