It looks like Nico Rosberg was trying to cover the inside on the run to Turn 4, as Lewis Hamilton quickly closed in. But as the triple world champion tried to move alongside, Rosberg kept on pulling to the right, with Hamilton going onto the grass. From there, he was simply a passenger, spinning and crashing into his team-mate. Not what Mercedes wants, but it mixes the race up nicely for us.
What do you make of the crash? Let us know in the comments!

I think the guys over in Renault summed it up nicely.

And the driver of the day goes to Hamilton for taking Rosberg out so we could finally see an epic battle.
Well done on your originality on that comment
I think Rosberg clearly shut the door on Hamilton. Niki Lauda said Lewis was really aggressive on this move but IMO Rosberg was the most aggressive one since he shut the door when he saw Lewis trying to overtake him, moreover Hamilton didn’t insist on the inside in the first corner in order to exit faster than his teammate after turn 3 so you cannot say he was aggressive at the start of the race.
Its Racing drivers have right to defend position its idiot Hamilton who did dangerus overtake over hes team mate and things are even more worst as that was first lap
im my point of view Hamilton is guiltu because Rosberg is first and he’s going to defend that position, Hamilton had the whole race to pass him since he had a better pace
Best finish ever! :D
hamilton is really pissed
They are supposed to give at least one car width down the inside. Rosberg pushed Hamilton off the track, he went way off line to be honest I don’t know how Rosberg expected to make the corner there anyway
Not correct. You don’t have to leave any room if you don’t want to, so long as it’s the first defensive move.
“More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off‐line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner.”

Are you on crack? It’s Formula 1, shiet happens, DEAL WITH IT!
And on that bombshell….
This needs to happen more often. I haven’t ever been at the edge of the seat while watching an F1 race since forever.
