It's a bit like the Alonso/Vettel/Monza incidents.

When Alonso ran Vettel off, Alonso was ahead even though Vettel managed to keep 2 wheels on track and still pass. When Vettel repaid the favour Alonso was already ahead and Vettel got penalised.

Each time Lewis pushed Nico, Lewis was ahead and taking track position he was entitled to, he just had to have faith Nico wouldn't clip a wheel. I think there are only a handful of drivers Lewis would have gotten away with that unscathed

 

Rosberg was very respectful of not using the tarmac'd run off areas to keep alongside, which many other drivers might not have been and may have got past as a result. Notably Button vs Perez last year.

 

He'd just have been told to give the position back or given a time penalty at the end of the race like Grosjean on Massa last year and Vettel on Button in 2012.

 

Domenicali has resigned from Ferrari. Wonder what odds you'd get on Ross Braun coming back?

 

Falling on your own sword, how very Italian

 

Wouldn't the Italian thing be switching sides? We'll see if he turns up at Mercedes next week.

(Resorting to racial stereotypes. How very British).

Red Bull appeal today...

 

Stewards' decision upheld. Excellent!

 

I was convinced they were going to get it overturned

 

Me too. It'll be interesting to see how the court explains their decision as it doesn't seem they did anything in breach of the actual regulations.

 

To be honest I kind of wish they had both for Ricciardos sake and because in this instance I think it's the FIA who have dropped the ball.

I've always admired Redbulls creative interpretation of rules. Sod the spirit of the rules if you pass scrutineering you're legal end of and that's always been the game.

I actually fully believe Redbull that they did in fact use a legal flow rate and saw an opportunity to gain an advantage because of the shoddy standardised measurement device.

But still after years of creative rule interpretation working in their favour I doubt they're too sad that one hasn't gone their way.
