You dont seem to get it, your analogy suggests this. Let me explain it again, Rosberg made a change (using your analogy, he flicked the light switch from ON to OFF). He had the problem, he switched the lights ON again. However the bit you are missing, he then still had the problem and had to make ANOTHER change (say, turn the wipers on). This was the same change Hamilton had to make. They both had to turn on their wipers. Something Hamilton couldnt figure out, whilst Rosberg could.

Toto clarified this. He said Rosberg made a change, changed it back and then made another change. It was this second change that Hamilton could not figure out.

If you dont want to belive Toto or Lauda - then thats up to you. But those are the facts.

Yes but part of racing in F1, is making sure your car is in the correct settings.

Funny how no one mentioned car settings and drivers should only race, when Rosberg made the mistake in Spain and set the wrong setting on his car.

Rosberg crashes during Free Practice 3; can the team repair the car in time for Qualifying?

Why have the sky commentators twice today stuck the knife in two drivers backs when their cars came off track before they knew the reason.
And on both counts (Rosberg and Kyvat) it turned out to be mechanical failure not driver error.
"Well that is the end of his career at Torro Rosso"
Seriously?, they hadn't even seen the crash just a car sat against the barrier.
Hope they never get jobs as insurance investigators,

I dont get all this angst about the "new kerbs". Surely if race rules require that drivers stay within the circuit limits and know that a car may be damaged if they dont....then you stay within the limits. If the FIA re-installed armcos at the "problematic" corners then I suspect most drivers would obey the rules.

Even if you think it is a fair punishment during the race to have your car wrecked for running a bit wide then surely not during practise sessions when trying to explore and push the limits? A solution that involves only a loss of time is much better for all involved.

I dont disagree but on a street circuit the same issues exist and the drivers are aware of the consequences.

I don't think the answer is to make all the races have the same characteristics as a street circuit. In my view the perfect season would be to have Monaco as the street circuit challenge, Montreal as the park circuit challenge and the rest as proper race circuits.

There is going to be a time when Mercedes simply tell them to stop racing. There are too many incidents like this between them.

It was Mercedes who put them in that situation due to their stupid race strategy! It was inevitably going to lead to fisticuffs between them at some point, they need to get smart.

The trouble is they were racing Vettel when they pitted Hmailton the first time around, not Rosberg as such. The pit crew mistake and Hamilton running wide on his out lap meant the undercut didn't work.

In truth, Rosberg probably shouldn't have tried to defend - second would have meant a drop of seven points. Now it sounds like he might lose the lot.

Have to say, well done Hamilton. Rosberg's mistake, he will just have to suck it up.

That certainly livened up the race right at the end anyway.

The woman doing in the podium interviews.

Toto Wolff just said that Rosberg had a brake-by-wire problem but they couldn't tell Rosberg or Hamilton that. I thought brake-by-wire issues had been reported to the driver before but maybe that was last season.

You mean the interviews are showing whose behind the British press is up. Can you imagine the interviews after Monaco if it had been the other way round?

"Why did you ask Lewis to move over?"
"Isn't unfair that you asked Lewis to move over?"
"Why did Lewis have a slower car?"
"Do you think Lewis was on the strategy?"
"What will you say to Lewis after the race?"

etc. etc. etc.

What a sad end to the GP two team mates crashing in to each other and then poor lewis booed on the podium. I remember when this was happening to Seb Vettel not very nice.
