Davidson on Sky UK basically confirming what Rosberg said on the Radio. He turned as soon as he could without locking up (and thus basically going straight off the track) and then went full-lock with his wheel. Pretty much the whole UK team so far thinks it was a hard move but not worthy of a penalty and I agree with that.
Also, Toto Wolff in an Interview right now:
"It all turned to...can i say "shit" on TV?"
"No, you can't."

Tough luck for ROS. He's been getting quite naughty this year so far and is reaping what he sowed.

I assume Ted's having a go.

In Crofty's day it was a noun for female masturbation
Verstappen himself is driving exactly the same way, very aggressively, always bordering on what is and isn't allowed and didn't get a penalty in the past. And that's not what I'm complaining about, I love it! Telling him to stop driving so aggressively and entertaining us would be the worst thing they could possibly do. But then you can't really give Rosberg a penalty for this, neither. One way or the other. But obviously the Stewards change for each race and so do their positions on what is allowed and what isn't.

Rosberg even admitted his mistake on RTL, carrying to much speed into the corner and trying to steer as soon as his wheels wouldn't lock up. In hindsight he left Verstappen not enough space.
So I'm not sure why everyone is discussing whether it was fair or not. Now getting those two penalty points is too harsh.
Nico was quick to point out Max's movement in the braking zone. (which perhaps is a bad habbit, but not an actual rule)

I fell asleep watching the race..
Did Rosberg get a penalty for pushing Max off the track?

Yes, on top of an extra penalty for Mercedes not knowing how to operate a stop watch.

Tired from seeing Kimi win all the time?
Rather like last week it threatened to be exciting and then dropped off, really. Might be worth watching the highlights though.
All three of them.
Ricciardo getting Scotland and Ireland mixed up in the post-race conference.

If Mercedes somehow gets it absurdly right again next year despite the massive changes, I'll have to start looking into other racing series to follow.
It will be hard for me to stop but yeah, if they come out next year where they are now then I might be done. Four straight years of this is too much.
Yeah, I have similar thoughts.
There have been way to many seasons since 2000 where one team (and one driver in that team) was so dominant that the championship and most grand prix were virtually predetermined.
What annoys me is that current development and testing regulations seem to freeze everything in place. There is just no way for teams and engine manufacturers to catch up.

I missed the most interesting part of the race..
What happened exactly? Did he get a stop and go penalty? and they botched that too?? LOL
5 seconds penalty after pushing out Max like he did Lewis in Austria (minus the contact). They waited on his pitstop... and it took them 8 seconds to begin working instead of 5. According to Toto, some kind of digital stopwatch issue.
Lauda to demote Rosberg to Manor.

It's like he didn't learn how wrong that maneuver was after he was penalized for it in Austria.

Maybe Mick Schumacher will save them.
It's really hard to imagine them being up there with Allison leaving JUST as the development for next year's car is probably heating up. And somehow, nobody in that team comes off as feeling comfortable right now. Nobody.
Barring a Brawn-type situation (highly unlikely), our only hope is Red Bull.
McLaren's gonna need more time.

Not sure what's different about Nico's. I don't like this low FOV camera angle. It makes everything look so slow.
Anyway, a car cleared the barriers in BTCC and knocked over a TV cameraman's platform:

What third world country is this from? Where's the catch fence?
There's this onboard camera that was used until ~10 years ago that really delivered a much stronger sense of speed. I miss that.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
I hear this an awful lot, and I'm never sure whether it's literal or not. Because if not then GAF's population is either a lot older than I presumed or there's some questionable health issues at play.
Yes, he could have yielded and it would probably have been fine.

Not convinced. When a driver goes off the track and gains an advantage, it's generally safe and the advantage is the only consequence - so swapping back nullifies that. Whereas pushing a driver off the track has safety concerns, so even swapping the place back doesn't cancel out the fact that a potentially dangerous move was made.
Also, lol @ Vettel complaining about blue flags again. On a Sauber that was clearly not as slow as he wanted them to be.
Waking up 9AM on a sunday to watch a boring race after sleeping only 6 hours, that's a recipe for sleeping. At least for me.
