Hamilton And Rosberg Just Smashed Into Each Other At The Spanish GP

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were battling for the lead on lap one of the Spanish Grand Prix when the two collided and smashed out of the race

Via MyNameIsJonny_/Reddit

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!

And the driver of the day goes to Hamilton for taking Rosberg out so we could finally see an epic battle.

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.

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

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.”

This needs to happen more often. I haven’t ever been at the edge of the seat while watching an F1 race since forever.
