Expect to see a new regulation sometime soon.

Yep, and that's why I said Rosberg is a liability. Because it was Hamilton he was prepared to take that double dnf as better than finishing second to him.

I think Mercedes will have to show the stewards some real telemetry data about Nico's brakes for him not to get a penalty for causing an accident, but he could still get a grid penalty for the next race for not stopping with an unsafe car.
But my view he is guilty as hell for causing an accident and the evidence shows it

The brake problem seems to be a well-founded event, so they shouldn't have a difficulty proving it to the stewards with telemetry.
I imagine Nico will say all the damage was below his personal horizon and he couldn't see what had happened.
That fact that he was suddenly driving a skip might have been a clue...

were they bad enough for him not to be able to turn in at the right point rather than leave it for about 10 meters? and that wouldn't be a reason for blocking him coming back onto the track
But I take your point

He could argue he turned at the right moment in time, but the brake problem meant that he covered X metres further...
Something like that.
I'd make a crappy lawyer.

Yes I edited my post above to say I take your point
But I think the replays show he was wrong

Yes. Then he asked a few people who said that didn't occur.
Thing is, no-one trackside gets the kind of slo-mo, close-up endlessly looped replays that TV audiences get.
So you just blame the party your dislike more. A sort of of cognitive bias.

Hang everyone, unless Bernie hands over his fortune.
And a yacht.
And first dibs on the champagne.
I don't think they understood the question that he was asking them.

Fill that barrow a bit more, and it's not guilty on all charges, plus I'll throw in immunity on a couple of murders.

I think the stewards should give him some sort of reprimand, if only to say drivers can't pull a Schumacher and try to barge other drivers off the track.
As far as punishment is concerned, the most effective thing is for Nico to beat himself up. he knows what he did, and he knows what it cost him, and he knows it could have been a double DNF, invoking the Wrath Of Toto.

Lauda accuses Hamilton of lying
In a stunning revelation, Lauda has accused Lewis of lying after the current world champion claimed his relationship with Nico Rosberg was better than ever. In an Interview over the weekend Lewis said about his relationship with Nico “It’s actually really good with Nico at the moment, really, really good surprisingly. I would definitely not have expected it to be where it is. I guess it is probably with age. He’s a family man. He’s got a kid. He has probably grown in that process and I have grown and come of age. The respect that we have always talked about is bigger than it has ever been".
Lauda claims Hamilton lied about their relationship so he could have a “quieter” weekend in Austria when in fact their relationship is as bad if not worse than it was last season. “Lewis lied about that, simple as that,” explained Lauda. “He just said something. He wanted to be the softener in order to have his peace last weekend. He does what he can. The fight gets hotter the longer Nico is in front.”
Lauda also revealed Lewis Hamilton ‘destroyed’ his room at the Mercedes hospitality offices after he crashed out in his quest for pole position at the European Grand Prix in Baku. Lauda revealed that Hamilton was in an "uncontrollable rage" after gifting pole position to his teammate were true. When he was questioned on the specifics of Hamilton’s outburst in relation to rumors he had destroyed his hospitality room Lauda said “He did it because he had crashed. He’ll have to pay for that [the destroyed room]. You can count on it, He told me I couldn’t come in because he was going to destroy everything. This is how it was.”
Fan video of Lewis Nico crash
It is even clearer from this angle that Lewis left Nico masses of room on the inside, it shows what bullshit Nico was talking when he said after the race “I had the inside line and we both went into the corner a bit long. I was surprised that Lewis turned in......" what the fuck did he think Lewis was going to do drive straight ahead into the barrier.
Tetra Pak buying into Sauber
Brazilian journalist Livio Oricchio has reported today that Tetra Pak a major sponsor of Marcus Ericsson are bailing-out the Swiss team. In April, it emerged that Sauber was only able to make the trip to Shanghai for the Chinese grand prix due to a bail-out by individuals connected with Tetra Pak and other Ericsson backers.

Lewis' attempt to diffuse the situation (even if he's only motivated by giving himself some breathing room) shows maturity. Not sure if I'd say the same about Lauda spilling the beans in that manner

I think what Nicki Lauda calls "lying", most other folks would call "good PR".
Besides, the booing on the podium underlines the concern Hammy might have had about getting a hard time from local fans.
But if Mr Lauda says Hammy was exaggerating the team harmony before the race, I think we can all agree that their relationship is chillier now.
I reckon that after ceding the win to Hammy; being found out for trying to barge him off the track; blocking Hammy's re-entry onto the circuit; getting a modest spanking from the stewards; feeling the Wrath Of Toto; and having his "fans" show themselves to be sore losers; there will now be a severe frost descending on the upper slopes of Rosberg.
