i had 6 points over hamilton going into the last round at abu dhabi and on the second last lap rosberg takes me out, notice how i wasnt swerving, just holding my line and taking the defensive line at that, and he still tried going up my inside taking me out and giving hamilton the championship, i was driving as felipe massa on legend ai, this shit was HARD AF to do to almost win the championship and i get it taken from me at the very end, im gutted

i should add, im not mad, im just really sad this happened

Wow unlucky I think what happened though was Rosberg went to the inside to overtake you but  tried to swerve back onto the racing line because he thinks he would  have hit the wall and by doing that he clipped your rear wheel..

As far as I can see, he aims to go up the left hand side of you with DRS, and you slightly turn in on him (although not heavily, with a human it should have been fine). The AI probably sees the white line as the track limit and doesn't use the extra space outside of that to get past you.

Shades of '08.

This happens a lot with races I do, down straight pieces of track - like FRACTURED said above, if it was against a human then this wouldn't be an issue but the AI don't appear to have the correct spacial awareness to cope with these situations. I'm sure he could have just moved over the white line slightly to avoid contact.

Though the more I look at this, the more I can't decide whether Rosberg was in the wrong by taking such a narrow gap in the first place (being as SwearImSober was actually aiming for the white line slightly, I.E he never actually swerved left) or whether SwearImSober should have given Rosberg room (though that wouldn't make sense,I guess it's about who was in front as to whose road it is).

PS I LOVE the wheel that flies past 14 seconds into the video!!!
