Hope Rosberg gets a five place penalty for pulling that kind of shit.

Based on MSC's shens in 2006, it is straight DSQ if you deliberately impede other drivers.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Real stories here are that Riciardo beat Vettel AGAIN and Magnusson beat Button by some margin. I'm sorry but button is shit.

 

[DieH@rd]

It's shitty that rules even allow drivers to create "intentional" yellow flags by reversing in the last minute of the last qually sessions. Drivers should be forced to retire far away from track in this kind of events.

Hope Rosberg gets a five place penalty for pulling that kind of shit.

No way. Nobody can prove that he did it deliberately. I also dont think it was intentional, but all that matters is what Hamilton thinks. Race will be VERY interesting.

Willians had uber shitty qualifying, but Lotus was even worse.

 

[DrM]

Rosberg called to the stewards

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Rosberg called to the stewards

DSQ or penalty please.

 

[NHale]

I forgot just how salty hamilton fans can get, good lord.

Yeah. I forgot about that after the last couple of years of silence. Good to know that war never changes.

 

[Ark]

So why were there yellow flags while Rosberg was sitting at the end of the escape road then?

What do you mean by that?

A car in the escape road means yellow will be waved, because it needs to be free for other cars that run in to (maybe more serious) problems.

I'm not arguing the yellows, I'm saying that reversing back onto the track, or closer to the track, during the final seconds of Q3 when he knows full well his teammate is behind him is dangerous.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I haven't seen it yet myself, but if Rosberg really was actively reversing back onto the track when Lewis was passing, then I feel that was a pretty stupid thing to do.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

No, yellows are waved while there's a car there.

there wouldn't have been any yellows if he had parked it at the end of the escape road, him reversing kept the yellows out and fucked hammy over.

he knew what he was doing, he was getting hammy back for the hunger comments.

i hope they both take each other out tomorrow.

 

[DrM]

DSQ or penalty please.

Probably just reprimand and fine

 

[massivekettle]

To me the worst was that he was celebrating his "pole" whilst screwing over everyone else.

 

[Hammer24]

Depends on if he decided to that by himself, or if the marshalls waved him back.

there wouldn't have been any yellows if he had parked it at the end of the escape road.

This is simply false.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

He made a mistake and disappeared down the escape road like he should've done. He was out of the way, so there should not have been an issue if Lewis had carried on full speed and beaten him to pole even if it was under yellows.

What happens if someone else loses control at full speed and goes into that escape road? You can't drive at full speed during a situation like that.

 

[massivekettle]

Probably just reprimand and fine

No way. It's either nothing and he keeps his pole (and thus beat Schumacher at his own game) or gets DSQ and brought to the back of the grid.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Rosberg pulled a Schumi?

 

[NHale]

The yellows went out as soon as he missed the corner and would stay yellow until he was removed from there. It's not a safe place because any car can crash into any car parked there.

You don't know need to make up facts to support the theory that Nico did it on purpose.

Nope, somebody in that particular escape road = yellow flag.

Ah ok got it,

Then no not really, that's what all cars do to get out there. It is actually the thing to do, because you clear the track again (although with no time left, it did not help).

 

[Gareth Bale]

Really? They're asking him?

 

[ramparter]

Finally Monaco the most demanding track reveals the quickest of the pair. Sorry Lewis your lucky days are over. Make way for the champion.

 

[Konosuke]

I'd like to see Rosberg have a race like Vettel did in Barcelona, even if that means an easy win for Lewis. So I'm pro-penalty I guess.

 

[TCRS]

when did hamilton make those hunger comments? link?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Giving air time to Briatore?

Sky really are fucking horrible.

 

[Hammer24]

Really? They're asking him?

Every Driver gets to make a statement with the stewards. Then this will compared with telemetry, radio and cam data, and thus a conclusion will be formed.

 

[Ark]

In his BBC F1 column I think. Can't link, on my phone.

Did you forget this is Monaco? Unless it rains there is no way anyone can go from 16th to 4th even with a much superior car.

[theignoramus]

why did Rosberg reverse back up the escape road?

 

[markao]

Really? They're asking him?

With the way modern (social) media works you have to, otherwise you will always keep the rumours. Now you either find him guilty or innocent and you move on.

 

[NHale]

Referring to Flavio Briatore

Well who is better than Flavio Briatore to ask about cheating in F1?

 

[DrM]

Sky really are fucking horrible.

Asking the biggest cheater in F1 circus about cheating. That's Sky

 

[Hammer24]

Or safety cars. I´m looking at you, MAL.

Referring to Flavio Briatore

Aah I see.

 

[markao]

I had the same smile on my face

 

[Konosuke]

If he gets a penalty, wouldn't it be a 5 place penalty? It seems doable to me.

 

[Caramello]

why did Rosberg reverse back up the escape road?

It was the only way out of the escape road and the yellow flags wouldn't have stopped waving until he was out of there. Whether he should have done it or not is another question but I'm assuming that's why he did it.

 

[DieH@rd]

why did Rosberg reverse back up the escape road?

Escape road is 20m long, and yellow flags would be active no matter what.

 

[massivekettle]

Rosberg's biggest question mark is not the fact that he parked it - it's the fact that he reversed onto the track, which ultimately caused the yellows.

The second action could be used by the stewards to prove that he impeded other drivers. Penalty anywhere from DSQ to a grid drop.

This is not true.

 

[PdotMichael]

why did Rosberg reverse back up the escape road?

Because it's the fastest way to fix the dangerous situation/yellow flag.

The alternative would be he turns off his car and leaves it, which would take way longer.

 

[tHoMNZ]

The yellows would remain as long as his car was there.

Why didn't he wait for Lewis (last car) to go through, then?

That sounds very fishy...

 

[olore]

those celebrations were aimed at Lewis. I think they were meant to annoy him

If so, what a fucking douche thing to do, he just went down a couple of notches

 

[Ark]

Whatever happens, this thread is going to be divided for weeks to come

 

[Elvin Atombender]

Rosberg's biggest question mark is not the fact that he parked it - it's the fact that he reversed onto the track, which ultimately caused the yellows.

The only way the yellows can disappear is if he gets away from the escape road.

 

[theignoramus]

the celebration at least was payback for Lewis' earlier comments.

 

[PdotMichael]

It didn't matter his car was already in a dangerous position.

 

[Hammer24]

How would he know, where the drivers are on the track? Either by radio, or by the marshalls.

 

[Igo]

The hunger stuff? The full quote is clearly self motivation.

 

[dalin80]

Wow, Rosbergs place on top of the nice guy moral high horse just got very shaky.

 

[massivekettle]

The only way the yellows can disappear is if he gets away from the escape road.

Not by reversing on the track, and especially not on a track like Monaco!
