2016 Pirelli Spanish Grand Prix

I switched on in the middle of the crash highlight and thought I was on the wrong channel at first.
 
As someone who absolutely despises perfection in motorsports, randomly choosing to check this start out made me feel all fuzzy inside.
 
Brundle blames Rosberg.
Croft blames Hamilton.

Of course, you know that this means war!
 
Typical first lap aggression really... why Hamilton willingly went on the grass instead of backing off I don't know, I don't think it was unacceptable (or at least, unexpected) for Rosberg to block like that given the circumstances. I'm surprised to see Lauda not defend Hamilton, though!
 
Rosberg defending his line by blocking, swerving to the right ( which is legal move ), Hamilton should have been wiser to keep left.

Hamilton most likely caught off guard by the sudden Rosberg move and panicked ( the turbulence might had a hand )

If Hamilton didn't crash into Rosberg, it will be different story :P
Can't change direction to block in the braking zone, which would not make it a legal move.
 
I hate seeing crashes, but I've never shouted tifosi so loud in my life.
 
Oh why, Mercedes? It's my birthday today as well (kind of hoping Lewis could win). Ah well.. that's F1 for ya.
 
Brundle says Hamilton was up inside enough for a car's width of space. I'm not so sure but won't apportion any blame to anyone yet.
That was the case in the GP2 race where Gelael cut Giovinazzi off on the approach to Turn 10. But the exit of Turn 3 is such an unusual place for it that I can't really agree. I think Brundle and Sky are a little too quick to defend Hamilton, or at least to try and mitigate the blame. Rosberg played his part, but the burden is on Hamilton. He was clesrly desperate to reclaim the lead.

That's what Sainz did when he blocked Vettel, twice, the last one, Vettel was smart and passed.
This was one the main straight braking zone if I'm not mistaken.
 
I think they share blame. Nico made an extremely aggressive block, but Lewis insisted on following through. That said, Lewis's action is what ultimately put the cars out.
 
Is Ted Kravitz on cocaine? He's making some odd vocalisations and speaking with such an odd tone today.

Sorry but that's a load of crap. He had a run on him. What was he going to do not pass him out of fear of getting punted?! A certain quote from Senna comes to mind here.
