Why is Hamilton getting booed? He did nothing wrong.

Not every F1 fan appreciates proper racing. And other reasons we won't mention...

 

[dakun]

Lol rosberg blaming Hamilton? "He turned in to me"

 

[Terbinator]

That Toto ether haha

 

[Lach]

RTL in horrible denial

 

[Tempy]

Lauda said Nico had brake issues, reason why he was too late on the breaks.

This is a good answer if you were trying to downplay things and keep calm :3

 

[djplaeskool]

"So what happened with Nico?"

"Umm...."

 

[hamchan]

it's a perfectly reasonable question, i'm sure if you look back over the season the 1st place mercedes stops 1st an extremely high percentage of the time, maybe 100%? thanks for the salty sarcasm though made me smile

Well Toto just answered your question pretty definitively!

 

[ramparter]

What does Lauda have to say about this?

Probably that Lewis is No2 and shoulnt sabotage the title contender's race.

 

[Baybars]

If he knew he was having break issues then he should have backed the fuck down, taken the loss but minimised the points damage.

He's a bonehead. Same thing happens every year with this guy.

Easy to say from here but when you wanna win you wanna win.

 

[Zeknurn]

Christ, Kravitz is the absolute worst.

Here we go again with this shit.

 

[Ark]

Partially because they're close to Germany so Rosberg fans, but don't forget that the UK is not exactly a popular country anywhere in Europe right now. He would have been booed regardless.

Huh fair enough. Didn't think most people really gave a shit.

Also Toto is pissing me off now. They should be allowed to race 100%.

They need to sack Nico for next year tbh.

 

[Lach]

Rosberg: "Lewis surprised me by turning in"
Yes, who would have thought that Lewis would turn into a corner. Lewis left enough space.

 

[DrM]

Point for MRT, how much millions from Bernie will it bring?

 

[justjohn]

Why is Hamilton getting booed? He did nothing wrong.

This is the country where the far right was a few percentage points from coming to power.

 

[Pterion]

Here we go again with this shit.

Yea that shit Hamilton has to put up with.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Rosberg really does seem to cave under pressure a lot easier than Lewis, he loses his mind easier as well.

 

[GHG]

Easy to say from here but when you wanna win you wanna win.

Even when you're on the last lap, with a sizeable championship points lead you're willing to risk it all for the sake of one place? That's a pretty myopic way of looking at things.

He was lucky he could even get his car to limp over the line.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Rosberg: "I was sure I will win this race. My brakes were overheating. But I was on the inside line. Was very surprised he turned into me."

Yeah ok Rosberg...

 

[Tempy]

I admit, I was half hoping both would crash out and hand Verstappen the win :3

 

[Terbinator]

This is the country where the far right was a few percentage points from coming to power.

F1 circuits don't strike me as a honey pot for racists

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

"Brake issues" is always the excuse for Nico. Might want to consider looking into remedying that after 2+ years of brake issues versus his teammate.

 

[NHale]

Rosberg: "Lewis surprised me by turning in"
Yes, who would have thought that Lewis would turn into a corner. Lewis left enough space.

LOL. So according to Nico you aren't supposed to turn in a corner.

 

[Razgreez]

Huh fair enough. Didn't think most people really gave a shit.

Also Toto is pissing me off now. They should be allowed to race 100%.

They need to sack Nico for next year tbh.

And bring in under-wonderkid Pascal? (Max being wonderkid)

 

[NHale]

This is the country where the far right was a few percentage points from coming to power.

So he will be booed at Silverstone as well?

 

[Lach]

Toto saying that they will do more to prevent this in the future.
Putting them more on different strategies to prevent them actually racing against each other?

 

[Joni]

I admit, I was half hoping both would crash out and hand Verstappen the win :3

Yeah, would be a good punishment for Mercedes. They should learn to fix their brake problems.

 

[NewDust]

Lol... Lauds saying Hamilton is more to blame, because Nico brake issues. That some strange ass explanation. Wonder if they are trying to cover for Nico penalties.

Edit I was wrong... Lauds saying Nico should have to take into account his bad brakes.

 

[Lima]

Lauda said Nico had brake issues, reason why he was too late on the breaks.

Sure just like Hamilton always had understeer when he pushed Nico out of the way.

 

[jambo]

F1 circuits don't strike me as a honey pot for racists

You think racists don't like motorsports?

 

[G-Unit]

Yup. But as a Vettel fan, I'd say it's nice to hear a little boo for Lewis. God knows Vettel had more than his fair share from Hamilton fans for no reason.



Well it didn't really turn out well for him, did it?

Did i said it did? I rather out bully a bully which is what hamilton is with his raw talent, than be the gentleman which is one of the reasons Hamilton destroyed Rosberg Morale in past championships.

 

[Leonsito]

This is the country where the far right was a few percentage points from coming to power.

Compared to the rest of Europe, where the far right is already on the power.

 

[Moozo]

If Mercedes didn't micro-manage everything this probably wouldn't happen as much as it does.

 

[The Incarnation]

Toto said his brakes were gone.

Really, looks like he banged into him twice in that gif.

 

[Solaire of Astora]

We'll see how things go at Silverstone, when some idiot will no doubt start chanting "get out" in the hopes of a Hamilton/Button/Palmer podium.

 

[Lach]

Lol... Lauds saying Hamilton is more to blame, because Nick brake issues. That some strange ass explanation. Wonder if they are trying to cover for Nick penalties.

I understood, that he ment Rosberg being more to blame....

 

[McNum]

Well that was certainly an ending to a race. I mean, it could have been worse, they both made it to the finish, but... There will be spoken with quite loud words at Mercedes, I'd imagine.

I mean, if you're going to crash into someone, at least try to hit someone other than your teammate.

 

[Juicy Bob]

At Battersea Park waiting for Formula E just outside the start-finish line.

Hope the F1 was uneventful. Will watch the highlights when I get home tonight.

 

[Terbinator]

Nico doesn't seem to know about the brake issue lol

 

[desu]

I understood, that he ment Rosberg being more to blame....

Because thats what he said.

 

[DrM]

When is Formula E race? In one hour?

 

[NHale]

Toto saying that they will do more to prevent this in the future.
Putting them more on different strategies to prevent them actually racing against each other?

I hope not because I don't want races decided by whoever gets out of the first corner in 1st position like in McLaren dominating years.

 

[Madchad]

lol rosberg BUSTED on sky

 

[thenexus6]

I would imagine they'll decide he punished himself enough.


I wonder if he just carried too much speed and was unable to turn in.

Looking at the slow mo replay I don't think he had too much speed. He just started turning way later than he should and Lewis did.

 

[Zeknurn]

When is Formula E race? In one hour?

Aye. I look forward to a palette cleanser.

 

[RoKKeR]

That cockpit view of Rosberg there is damning. Just pins it straight into the corner.

 

[Terbinator]

The Nico onboard is damning.

 

[NewDust]

I understood, that he ment Rosberg being more to blame....

You are right, misstranslated it... Thank God for live TV rewind.

 

[Orbis]

Wow, the on board replays are very damning for Rosberg.

 

[Hasney]

Formula E build up is on now. Going to be hard to top that though.
