RevolvingPrawn Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 He was correcting by going left-right left-right left-right? Has to be the weirdest correction I've seen! ;) I'm not saying he did or didn't cheat, I just find his steering inputs a bit 'odd'. If he'd locked up then why the need to turn at all? Surely keeping the car in a straight line will slow it down quicker... And his decision to reverse back to the circuit whilst knowing there were still cars behind on fast laps to have been a stupid one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonsofan46 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I agree with what yugin said. When I saw it live on board I definitely did not think he did it on purpose. He looked like he was really pushing and was in 2 minds about whether to try and make the corner or not. Too many people are jumping to conclusions. I'm not saying he didn't do it on purpose but there are a lot of factors people aren't taking into account.When Schumi did it , even I could see he did it on purpose. I truly believe Nico didn't do this on purpose though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try that at that particular corner because the turn is quite long and you can still bring the car back in line if you haven't braked that late.As for reversing back onto the circuit... yeah, that one I don't get. Surely though he couldn't have been trying to cause a yellow flag there, or he'd have stopped the car a lot earlier in the first place.

I do it on iRacing all the time when I'm too late in the corner and either the track is bumpy (a-la Monaco!) or my brake bias is too far back. Hit the pedal and the rear goes light and starts to wobble.Can't comment on the reversing, obviously we don't know all the facts about that, when did he reverse? Was he told the track was clear? Certainly a few question marks. The initial accident though definitely just looked like some unstable braking to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetteIfan Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 To add to all the comments already made on the braking. if Rosberg really wanted to cheat he would've placed lightly in to the wall, perhaps just knocking the front wing off. He wouldn't have taken that far down the escape road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know why he reversed either , because he was only putting other people in danger , but he didn't do it to cheat , because the yellow flags would have stayed out if he had just parked it there and got out.

sjsharp2010 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 yeah a definite no no from Rosberg there :-q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensonBottom Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 You always get yellow flags even in the run off. With all this talk about Rosberg being uber clever, now those people believe Rosberg wouldn't of been clever enough to know the obvious result of the outcome from him going into the run off. Plus, why would he want to damage his car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schumacher parked his car, Rosberg lot control of it under a notoriously difficult braking zone at a place many people have gone off before.

I didn't see him having problems there the whole weekend, but with his temperatures being as perfect as they can be in the dying moments of Q3 it "happened". How comfortable.He knew there would be yellow flags, he knew Lewis was still behind him. Look for as many excuses as you want, he did it on purpose, end of the story. And the celebration afterwards was just a disgrace.But, Karma is a bitch and this is going to come back at him sooner or later. Maybe not in Monaco, but it will come back for sure.

Yes, but "the whole weekend" he wasn't on the one lap that he needed to push hardest on out of any. And I don't see any problem with the celebration.

How is this type of joy warranted under these circumstances? Ow yeah, if he's a disgraceful and pathetic human being with no self-respect.

Moderator f1since08 Posted May 24, 2014 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hmm... I'm not convinced about Rosberg's honesty like... to me it's too much of a coincidence that he managed to make a mistake that stops Hamilton improving.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoFrBP2rfyw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensonBottom Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I think Nico will get punished for reversing back onto the track. That was just as dodgy as his mistake. There's no defence for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yugin96 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The way I would analyse the onboard footage is:0:27: Swerves back left after avoiding the bump, then counter steers right to stop the rear from sliding 0:28: Off line- he can't turn left to get back to the racing line because that upsets the car under braking0:29: Continues making small corrections because the rear is still around0:30: Tries to turn into the corner0:31: Realises he's going too fast, so jams on the brakes and locks up while turning the wheel straight to keep it out of the barriers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevolvingPrawn Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The wheel straight? It looked like a lumberjack on speed the way he sawed that wheel. If that's what you consider straight then you're a bit wonky :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
