Would be unfair to say what Nico ended up doing wasn't bad, although it was still a tad bit passive, as he mainly locked up a tiny bit and deliberately ran wide. Those two things obviously screwed over Lewis, but it was surprising to see Nico get the worst of it (guess it was because Lewis's tire hit the wing...the tire will usually win).
Also, I was really curious about those late rapid fire retirements, with Massa, Alonso and Hulkenburg, all basically one after another. I was doing a lot of moaning towards the end of this race unfortunately for me!

Which has been a hallmark of some of Hamilton's moves this year. The contact in Spain was another example of where he should have seen another driver's defensive move coming, and threw away a prime opportunity further down the road.
It disintegrated pretty quickly, and the initial shots showed that it was largely intact. Rosberg may not have been aware that it was detached before it collapsed completely.

He turner sooner alright... as in Rosberg didnt turn at all. He just went straight...
In five words... it was beautifull. Poetic justice.

Ah, couldn't see that very well from my screen. Would be a shame to be penalised for that, though, how many drivers are going to stop on the last lap while they have 4 wheels attached?

And as the driver leading into the corner, he was only required to leave Nico a car's width of space on the inside.
He left him several.
Nico hit Lewis way, way, waaaay off the racing line.
It's likely not Nico's fault, as he apparently had brake issues. But there is no way in hell that one is on Lewis.

Just seen replay. I thought Hamilton overtook under yellow but Nevermind. 👍
On board shows that Rosberg wasn't even attempting to turn into the corner until he was miles past the apex.
You are correct, there were yellow flags at T3. However he was past before the corner and yellow.

News just-in, man on forum says nobody has ever overtaken another car round the outside of a corner. It's still completely beside the point though as Rosberg was on the inside. Where should Hamilton go? Divebomb up the inside? Levitate over him?
That was pretty awful from Rosberg. Very daft move.

Rosberg said Hamilton turned into him.
What?

Oh screw off Rosberg. You don't own the corner you prick.

Rosberg's interview with Buxton was pretty funny. He basically said because he is on the inside he can do what he wants.

Of course, it's hard to see a defensive move coming when you're already past the defender.

Toto definitely trying to shrug off the blame. But would you as a team manager?
The question was "should Nico have turned in sooner?" And Toto responds saying the brakes were gone. Like no mate, that wasn't the question!

Rosberg's fault. Yes he has the corner but there's no sportsmanship in running someone off track on the outside. Lewis has to turn in at some point, and even if Nico had succeeded in running Lewis off the track then the stewards would have something to say about that. What a joke of an explanation, racecraft too.
You don't have to like Lewis but for the fans, the booing is a disgrace. It wasn't even his fault.

Judging from the replays, Nico's defence was reminiscent of his borderline dirty overtakes at turn 1 (and I think 11 as well) of one of the recent Bahrain GPs where he forces the driver defending from the outside wide upon entry to the corner. This time it went all wrong.
No attempt to turn into the apex.
Your efforts to make this Hamilton's fault are pathetic. Drivers don't have to back off because they think the defender will indeed defend. They expect the defensive move but they expect them to do it fairly and cleanly. If Rosberg had turned in properly there wouldn't have been contact and they'd have been side by side through the corner, as is racing. Rosberg is likely to win out but for the last time, that does not mean a driver is not entitled to attempt it.

New evidence came out that a yellow flag came out just before Hamilton went to overtake.
This entire event won't be over for a long time!

It's my understanding that you are allowed to pass a disabled or very slow moving car so it should be a non-issue.

It's not specifically stated in the rules, according to Anthony Davidson. He said it was a grey area. Although I'd agree with you.
