Rosberg pretending that was about his brakes and that he didn't expect Lewis to turn
Yes, maybe Lewis should have gone straight on instead
Idiot

Rosberg didn't even try to turn in.

That onboard footage is going to land Nico a heavy penalty I think.
Well, there's your first mistake.

Lol, I've seen a few of your comments and I don't have a clue what you are talking about. It was an exciting race with loads of great passes.

Yeah, that's gonna be a pen for Rosberg.

Merc will have to impose team orders.
Toto says team orders are "on the table" now.
He was absolutely terrible today, incredibly unprofessional and spewing fanboy nonsense constantly. As I said I'm a Lewis fan but it was just embarrassing to hear.

Sky forcing Toto to watch the footage lol. Response was "...". Classic

Fuck Team orders dictating this championship.
not defending Rosberg here. It's 100% his fault.
But i do feel like if his car was actually slower at the point at which he started turning the wheel it would be enough for both to make the corner. It would be a hard but fair defending maneuver.
Now whether it's braking issues or not i don't know. But just hypothetically thinking that he was caught out by the failure you could see how his late turning in was actually intended to work without crashing or running him out of the track..

Ummm...so why didn't Rosberg turn at the apex?
All i see is him turning late. As if Hamilton would have done different.

Toto still talking about the brake issue at that corner
but then calling it brainless and putting it on the drivers
Nice balanced view there

Well that's why he's at the stewards I guess.
What else do you do as a team in this situation? You have your drivers costing you points through unnecessary incidents twice already and it's likely only to get worse. As a fan I don't want that of course, but it's probably the right move for the team.

Yeah people talking like Lewis would've done something different.
It's a dirty turn in. But if he indeed had brake problems they will not give him a penalty because they can't prove he was able to turn earlier. Actually the footage shows the car doesn't actually turn in when he starts turning the wheel. But yes he braked later to crash into Lewis or at least put him outside the track. He will be a lucky boy if he had a brake problem.
Are you Berger in disguise
He was just defending Nico and blaming Lewis/Mercedes (no overtaking in last few laps), was pretty shocking, I know his manager, but still he knows better.
Please. Hamilton is a seasoned veteran. He would have taken the apex and then exited the corner using the entire track and gone up on the curb. #Understeer
Nah. Lewis would have squeezed him on the exit, not just full-on driven in to him.
Why would he? It's not obligatory, you can use all the track like he did, everyone does it.

Lewis would have turned in at the apex and squeezed on the exit.
edit: looks like everyone agrees
I've rarely seen Hamilton do that. He tends to hit the apex then drift out to the edge of the track and push them off that way.

He should retire, he's past it!!1
Great race by him and even greater performance off the track during interviews. May he stay in F1 as long as he wants to.
Not if there is a car next to you who has no chance at all to actually follow to turn without leaving the track. Hamilton would actually have to pretty much stop driving and halt the car to not leave the track or crash into Rosberg. That's not how F1 works.

Well he tried his hardest to do that by sticking to the outside of the track to keep Hamilton off. Utterley dangerous - Button agreed too.
I think the British fans and David Croft would rush the track if Mercedes says not to challenge.
I was talking about his personality lol.
Gona see a fair drop in attendance at silverstone when he goes.

Assuming that Rosberg is telling the truth, i.e. brake problems, I don't see what he did wrong. He had to turn in (very) late, because otherwise he would have simply lost the car and crashed into Hamilton.
Edit: You can actually see that the car does nothing when he first tries to turn in.
Quite curious actually what the rules are in terms of letting drivers in when they are off track. One might argue that Ros should have left enough space for Ham, or one could argue that the driver that's off the track has to wait until there is enough space to get in (I have no clue what's the rule there).
you are missing the people, you are at the last lap, you don't really plan things. You just do and trying to corner the one on the offside seems basic racing to me. But its a shit thing to do, the thing is Hamilton does it pretty well, but when nico does it... oh shit what a turd. Blind Fanboyism.
Bring in Button!

Intent is the same, can't brake the laws of physics.
