Not going to repeat myself ad infinitum, but you are not right.

That's complete nonsense!

Hey! He's entitled to his opinion, no matter how wrong he is.

 

And we're all entitled to call said opinion 'complete nonsense'.

Cheers,

"no matter how wrong he is."

Glad you agree.

That = +3

 

no, because if we said that, and we wouldn't, it would be a bannable offence

 

LOL +44

 

WOW !!!

This section has turned into one big Circle Jerk

well, now it is anyway

 

Rules certainly help to assess the blame here but in real world racing terms both drivers are at fault here. Rosberg for basically blocking a much faster approaching Hamilton and Hamilton for trying to make a balls-out move on his teammate in a spot with no run-off space. The team is the biggest loser here.

not exactly any run-off room in Monaco, corner one should be awesome!

 

Already excited just thinking about it.

 

Don't worry, I'm sure if Lew gets the angle just right he can go right over the top of Rosberg.

 

"Mercedes non executive chairman Niki Lauda called the incident “unacceptable” and was quick to blame hamilton for being “too aggressive”. Villeneuve, who won the 1997 title after he survived a collision with Michael Schumacher at the final round of the season, begs to differ.

“You never saw it in the ‘80s because they’d kill each other,” the 45-year-old Canadian told the Mirror. “Now the drivers think they are in a video game,” said Villeneuve.

“It’s the one thing you never do. You can ask if Lewis should have been so aggressive but if you want to blame someone its 100 per cent Nico.

“He moved when Lewis had already made his move. You don’t do that, it’s why there is a rule in place. It’s the most dangerous thing you can do in racing - and the unfairest.

“From that point of view he was 100 per cent wrong.”

The stewards at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya eventually decided to take no further action regarding the collision, saying “neither driver was wholly or predominantly at fault”.
"

Who the hell is this guy? He has no idea what he is talking about. I much prefer the grand knowledge here on fchat from people that like to discuss what Hamilton is wearing and if he has any friends.

 

Lol. Quoting Jacques of all people.

Why are you here exactly?

 

are you still banging on about this? no one was to blame....crap happens.....no action was taken because a. no one was to blame b. it was a racing incident c. it wasn't intentional

get over it.

 

...and do tell me why JV would find 100% fault with the driver of a slower car moving off line and being hit from behind by another....

Hardly a unbiased opinion.....

 

Funnily enough, pretty much all experts put it at 50/50, some like Lauda mostly Lewis' fault.

But the almighty JV has spoken...

 

Yeah, nothing like that ever happened in the 80s!

JV was a muppet in the 90's, and a scruffier muppet now, his opinion means absolutely nothing as far as I'm concerned, just desperate to be remembered!

 

It was Maldonado's fault.

 

I'm a bit younger, and I first watched JV race when he was in NASCAR.

Maldonado has nothing on JV in NASCAR. Holy crap what a bunch of torn up cars each event!
