Let's have a thread for this so it won't pollute others.

[Borko]

No.

[surbjits]

Genuine error, but a blessing in disguise imo.

[akshay380]

Yes. Looking at his celebration

[Niceone]

Everyone knows it wasn't deliberate, but few trolls will keep this thread going

[KingTiger]

Probably not, but it kinda looked like the Schumi moment.

[Lord Snooty]

Hollow pole even if he didn't park it.

[DutchQuicksilver]

Simple answer, no. Thread closed.

[DainBramaged]

I put my head in my hand because I was imagining all the stupid comments there will be. No he didn't park it, but he was kinda lucky.

[Nitropower]

I think he didby looking at their replay. There is no reason to approach that corner from the right side of the track. For me it's obvious he's done it deliberately

[Asterion]

That was pretty obvious

[Disgrace]

Simple answer, no. Thread closed.

 

 

It's best people can vent.

[Asterion]

His telemetry will be very telling...

[hollowstar]

Yes. From the replay it seems clear he had the option to keep going. He deserves a penalty. 

[Niceone]

Yes. Looking at his celebration

Mind games maybe?  Rosberg trolling Hamilton

[IamFasterthanU]

It was a genuine error by Rosberg but his celebrations   ...We can surely say now that Hamilton's recent words have had an impact.

[Diablobb81]

No, he went for the run off. 

[P123]

I think we need a 'no idea' option...

In the end it worked out well for him either way!

[HoldenRT]

 

It didn't appear so.. but people see what they want to see.

[SpreadingSalmonella]

Just watch replays. Wrong line, hand movements and too much braking. Bad joke from Niko. Very bad joke.

[Jejking]

The celebration was suspicious to say the least..

[Niceone]

If you make mistake approaching that corner.. do you go straight or do you try to turn and risk damaging your car (and cause yellow flags that way)

 

edit:

After seeing replays there's no case for those "deliberate" claims.

[paipa]

How was that story a few days ago about how much he learned from Schumi? He must have heard how they should do the talking on the track, haha

[kaisellgren]

Yes he did. Nice needs all his aces to beat Lewis. 

 

Lewis: "it was ironic"

and Lewis' face at the end of the interview was just

[RubalSher]

Will the stewards have a look in at the telemetry?

[Nitropower]

I say a fact. He approached that corner from the right. Unthinkable. He deserves to be disqualified from qualifying and start from the pit lane

[Nitropower]

[Farhannn15]

If he wanted to "guarantee" it wouldn't he have "parked" it into the barrier?

Look again. And try looking at the steering wheel.

[dweller23]

Parked it or not, he was SO FAR out of the track that the yellow flag didn't make any sense.

[RuleyRamundo]

Yes and I would have too. Win at all cost.

[dweller23]

They all do that, there's a nasty bump on the left part of the run down to Mirabeau.

[surbjits]

This.

[Asterion]

He reversed as Hamilton passed?

[paipa]

If he wanted to "guarantee" it wouldn't he have "parked" it into the barrier? 

Too bad that trick had been played before and didn't end well. He would have been stupid to do so

[Francesc]

Pretty obvious it was deliberately. Just watch his other laps onboard and compare.

[Ferrari_F1_fan_2001]

Rosberg too soft for that sort of thing.

[genespleen]

Walks like a duck...

[Niceone]

Look again. And try looking at the steering wheel.

I did that. Now you do the same thing. He could have parked the car close to the barrier ensuring yellow flags

[BrakeL8]

This.

If he parks it in the barriers, he would damage his car, he does not want to damage his car, he just wants yellow flags!

[SR388]

Without a doubt.

[JRUK]

The celebration was suspicious to say the least..

 

How? Surely the whole point of deliberately parking the car is that is that he would then act as if it was a mistake rather than stand there celebrating?

[pedrorito]

Bye bye good relationship inside Mercedes team

[Rakaman]

That celebration pretty much confirms it. 

[Igorr]

He definetely had a different, VERY UNUSUAL line into the corner.. Thats all im going to say for now. 

[Massa]

I say a fact. He approached that corner from the right. Unthinkable. He deserves to be disqualified from qualifying and start from the pit lane

 

Yes because everybody does the same.

[Asterion]

Time for FIA to look into this.

[study]

If he wanted to "guarantee" it wouldn't he have "parked" it into the barrier? 

 

No cause that would damage the car

[Jejking]

Parked it or not, he was SO FAR out of the track that the yellow flag didn't make any sense.

What if Hamilton had done the same? He would have hit at least one thing during him stopping. Rosberg should have known instantly he should have parked later on.

THIS!
