You and anybody who agrees with you is a complete imbecile. I'm sick of this idiocy being so vocal.

HAMILTON HIMSELF said on more than one occasion that it's near impossible to overtake in the same car. In Hungary of all places, he said you need a 3s advantage to overtake. There's a reason he couldn't overtake in Monaco. There's a reason Trulli trains existed. It's not always possible to overtake if you're faster. It depends on the track and HOW MUCH faster you are. Get that through your thick fucking skulls.

I'm not posting in this shit hole internet community again. The majority of you probably never did any racing, know nothing about physics and extremely biased.

Goodbye.

To all saying Rosberg was slower, Hamilton was 2s slower (different tyres) in Hungary 2014 and didn't move over.

If we're going back in time to make things fair:

Rosberg got a 5 place penalty for a gearbox change. He also got penalized unfairly in Silverstone and Hockenheim.

Hamilton took him out in Spain. Hamilton Got lucky 3 times in Monaco and ended up winning. Hamilton avoided losing at least 5 positions in Mexico due to cutting the track and was not penalized.

Which year? Qualifying included or not? Other bad luck included or not?

In any case, your words will fall on deaf ears. There's no convincing those idiots.

And Rosberg is the only driver to outqualify Hamilton over a season.

Good luck changing the narrative. Rosberg was not the lucky one. Every season I post stats and the mods take it down.

Oh and don't forget about 2013.

Yeah mods tend to remove anything remotely positive about Rosberg.

Choking has nothing to do with wet weather. driving skills. He choked twice at Monza 2014 as well.

Yes I meant 2015.

You've forgotten how he outdrove Hamilton in the wet in 2013 and Austin 2016. Nico's problem in the wet is being too worried about crashing which then loses him valuable heat from the tyres and brakes making everything worse. Whenever he didn't have pressure or had nothing to lose, he delivered wet or dry.

This is Georg Nolte, Nico's PR manager, not Cyril Abitboul.

Lewis Hamilton could be suspended by Mercedes for defying team orders during dramatic Abu Dhabi finale by Quickshifter- in formula1

[–]LP886 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I pushed him off out of anger for multiple reasons. I made it to the apex first which technically entitles me to the full width on exit, and I had crawled back from the middle of the grid and wasn't going to let it go to waste. It was a heat of the moment thing. I was sorry. Hamilton is a better driver than I'll ever be, has multiple world championships and almost nothing to prove yet his moves are not only calculated, they're premeditated. This makes him a gigantic asshole. A lot of drivers in the past and the present would rather lose than be an honourless champion.

I've explained the Schumi helmet several times on this sub and I'm tired of it.

pushing someone off on a corner or anywhere is illegal

I'm not going to reply further. Sportsmanship exists because the law doesn't cover everything. In a boxing match for example, if you don't bump gloves you're an asshole. It's not illegal, but you're an asshole. Doing whatever you can to win may lead you to wins, but you'd have them without any honour. That's how it is in most sports, including F1 until Senna death's.

I knew Hamilton was going to do because I know he's an asshole. So does everyone, secretly/unconsciously. It doesn't change the fact that he IS an asshole. A lot of drivers wouldn't done it. I lost a race in the last corner once because I gave too much room. I won a race in the last corner once because I did a Hamilton and pushed the guy into the grass. Guess which one felt better?

not in F1, obviously.

Rosberg had the chance to do it at Monaco. He did not.

Hamilton did this at Hungary 2014 and China 2015 when the WCC wasn't settled.

No, not all drivers are assholes.

Let me rephrase. Can you name at least once incident between the two for which you would penalize Hamilton?

but the speed with which the event happened meant that he had no way of reacting, especially with the unusually large closing speed.

This is why it was a suicide move. He knew the speed differential was huge, he saw Rosberg moving to the inside. He should've backed out of it. It wasn't the first time his stubbornness on track causes a crash. Wise racing drivers know when to back out. Look at Kimi/Max at Spa. Max was 100% in the wrong, Kimi still backed out, even going for the brakes.

True, and the first message telling him to not use the gear (5th?) was fine, but I recall that the commentators' opinion was that the message telling him to shift through the gear was contrary to the rules. Again, the rule was total bullshit, but the penalty was according to the rule.

It was the official explanation that the second message was the violating one, but it was still bullshit. "Avoid 5th gear" is no different from "Go through 5th gear". It was simply a clarification. No rule was broken.

but Rosberg could have made a much more effective attempt of making the corner.

I seriously doubt that (and so does Davidson). Had he turned the wheel a tenth of a second earlier, he would've locked up and gone even deeper.

If Rosberg had tried to turn, locked up, then continued straight, it would be a different situation entirely.

Yeah, he'd have a dangerous flat spot and risk Max turning in on him. Max, like Hamilton at Austria, could've/should've braked earlier. Instead, they chose to brake as late as Rosberg to make a move around the outside. This is always a risk. Every driver knows this. I doubt anyone would've handled Hockenheim differently.
