Did Nico Rosberg deliberately screw-up Lewis Hamilton's qualifying lap...?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Ok, so what are the views of Fab's F1 fans on whether Nico Rosberg deliberately screwed-up Lewis Hamilton's qualifying lap at the Monaco Grand Prix...?

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

I`d like to know what radio transmissions were made. I`m also not sure that a car in that particular escape road would bring out a caution flag no matter what it`s status - a viable running car or one abandoned by the driver through breakdown or damage. The possible presence of marshalls may have had a bearing. That`s my "offical" answer.

My unofficial one? Yes he did try and destroy Lewis`s lap!

Yes, it would bring out a caution flag on the basis of possible brake failure after a bit of a straight. Danger to both cars would be big if a following car had brake issues.

As for whether it was on purpose?

I don't think we'll ever know. big coincidence though but then you can imagine Nico to be pushing very hard to be on Pole. So who knows.

Hamilton sometimes acts like a child throwing his toys out of the cot. He was the same when in the same team as button.

The in-car footage comparing his pole-lap to 'that' lap on a split screen seems pretty damning. Why was he sawing away at the steering wheel on the approach to the location of the 'off'...? In the absence of a technical reason with the car, there appears to be only one conclusion that can be drawn.

Also, his demeanour afterwards indicated that he knows that we know...

Of course he did it was the only way to beat Hamilton.

Did look deliberate.

I seem to remember another Hamilton team mate cheating to stop him winning...

Maybe he has a good reason for getting upset...

But then Formula 1 is a billion £ business and dirty things are done in all billion £ businesses.
