Watching it live I thought that was a bona fide "oops" moment from Rosberg.
Now I'm reading from people that are usually well informed that he *probably* did it on purpose and that the steering wheel movement was not required as the back end wasn't sliding, telemetry "seems" to confirm that, and that's apparently the opinion of most drivers on the grid. No idea... bear in mind those are british journos, probably slanted...
Either way, whatever admiration I had regained from Hamilton this season evaporated when he started sulking like a little girl, whining, hinting, threatening to do a Senna on the start (then saying he was just joking), not acknowledging his rival on the podium, then using one-liners at interviews...
He has the pace to take the high road... he did not !
His bit about Nico not being hungry because he grew up son of a world champion in Monaco was tasteless too (As a kid and competitor to Young Nico, Lewis was invited *many* times over the years to enjoy the Rosberg residence, boat and plane. Hell of a way to say "Thank you"). Now I got him back to "whiny brat that didn't get his way", regardless of what happened...I hope Rosberg did it on purpose.
When Hammy won 4 in a row, Rosberg hated it but was unfailingly gracious about it - especially when it came up that Hamilton had violated team orders on rev limits to prevent Rosberg from passing him in that Barcelona battle... (Rosberg did the same thing previously, but my point is about grace under pressure). Have you heard Hamilton on the radio? If I was his engineer, I'd tell him to show more respect or STFU, at times... It's gonna get ugly... I think Hamilton is way more talented, but I kinda hope he self destructs and Rosberg beats him by one measly point ;-)
PS: Funny quote form Brundle: Looks like Ricciardo got Weber's drive, but Vettel's got Weber's car.
