Boos for Nico at Spa
Deserved or not ? Great race and my favorite driver won but was sorta disappointed with Nico getting booed.

Back to your topic, no. No driver deserved to be booed. except awful team order from Ferrari on Schmi and Rubens, and the US Grand Prix of 2005. These are the only incidents I can think of that deserved to be booed. We've had boos for Vettel last few year. That was unjustified, he was doing his best job with the best car. And we've got booing for Nico this weekend, all because of the incident on les combs on Turn 2. But afterall, it was a racing incident, a clumsy move that he should've backed out. So, unless Nico did some intentional sabotage, and devilish actions. He didnt deserve to be booed.

Great race. Wolff and Lauda will probably have some conversations with both drivers next week.
Awesome job by Bottas and a great drive from Kimi and Magnussen.

Seriously? His damn teammate decides he wants to try and win the race on the second lap which not only cost Lewis the lead but potentially the race, and you call Lewis a baby? Lewis has driven his ass off this year trying to undo the 'damage' inflicted on his qualifying either by himself or the team; how you could call him a baby with the way he's driven is beyond me. The car had to be retired today since Hamilton was not making up any time as apparently the car had suffered underbody damage from the tyre shredding.

He was complaining on the radio more than once about being 16th and wanting to retire the car. It wasn't until after he did that cool down that they finally said "ok, come in." and yes the incident made him lose a lot of downforce.
Regardless of the situation I think more racing and less complaining would have been better for him. I say all this, but I do like Hamilton |

I think both the team and HAM opinions both got their points. I'd like to see their reactions in the post-race debrief.

He did what he's supposed to do. He drove all out. So did Lewis. 50/50 blame there, but "blame" is the wrong word. When you go all out, this stuff is going to happen. Enough whining.

All out racing. I like it. HAM got the worst of it again, but that's just the way it is. If the roles had been reversed, people would be praising HAM and saying ROS should have backed out. HAM just is snakebitten this year. Certainly not Rosberg's fault.
Ferrari makes all sorts of personnel changes to cut down on the screwups, then promptly screws up the start of the race. It's a good thing summary executions are a thing of the past in Europe. Bottas and Ricciardo are both showing incredible ability and poise.

Interesting and exciting race.
For Rosberg to think he could pass there was just insane. No way he had the speed or time before the corner. So that leaves putting pressure on Lewis which is fine but when you do that you better know how to bail cleanly especially if it's your team mate. I can't help thinking Nico is a better driver than that and that he played dirty, maybe it was just adrenaline from being passed at the start, dirty and reckless none the less. Hamilton's radio whining does him no favours though. Better if he just calmly acknowledge to himself "so this is it how it is huh? Ok, now I know for sure and plan for it going forward" while keeping cool on the radio. That "Nico hit me!" Radio reminds me of when one of my kids complain about the other... |

If what I just read is true that Nico admitted in debrief hit Hamilton on purpose to "prove a point" then I retract my statement about him from earlier.

I just watched the replay again and I can't say Nico is to blame. HAM came across to grab the next apex and that was what brought his tire into contact with Nico's wing. I didn't see Nico move towards HAM.

Yeah, it's there now, but only HAM saying it. No rebuttal from ROS yet. Could get really nasty from here on out. VET and WEB have nothing on these guys.

No offense Mark but Rosberg actually drives for a team, NOT himself. His bonehead move on lap 2(!) could have easily taken both cars out of the race instead of just Hamilton's, and definitely cost the team a Mercedes win.

I heard somewhere during Ted's notebook or interview from SkySports F1, they mentioned something about Nico talked about Bahrain. Sounded like ROS wouldn't let Bahrain race that one go.

Hamilton: Rosberg said clash was deliberate
This is interesting.
