+2 Go Ricciardo!
No Mercedes conspiracy theories??? Lauda said Nico will be disciplined for Spa. After the Spa race steward said "just a racing incident", Toto Wolff says they'll deal with Nico's discipline internally...But nobody has heard what the discipline is. Not like Rosberg to blow a chicane with a big lead at the end of the race. Maybe Rosberg was told to let Hamilton have the win.
"It's not like many other races I've seen with Nico. He rarely made mistakes and two today in the same place," Mercedes executive director Toto Wolff said. "Nico was under massive pressure from Lewis and Lewis deserved the win today" Toto Wolff
I say BS. Here's my guess at what was said in the MB team meeting after Spa:
Hamilton: Wah wah wah...I should have won! Nico did it on purpose!
Nico: Yeah, so what? That'll teach you a lesson. Get out of my way next time and quit blocking.
Lauda: Nico, racing has no room for emotion. You must be disciplined.
Wolff: Come on Nico. Tell Hammy you're sorry. Take the blame in the press and let's get beyond this.
Rosberg: S#!T, whatever... Ok Lewis, I'm sorry you wouldn't listen to team orders, that I'm faster than you, and I had to teach you a lesson. I'm sorry.
Lauda: RACING IS NO PLACE FOR EMOTION! DISCIPLINE!
Wolff: OK Lewis, you can have Monza. That will be Nico's discipline. Nico, if you're ahead at the end of the race, just blow a chicane OK. Let Lewis have the win. You'll still be 22 points ahead.
Rosberg: LOL...Whatever.
Hamilton: OK, I feel better now. Thank you Toto.
