Pressure telling on Rosberg maybe? twice he missed his breaking point in the same place today, still getting booed on the podium too.

He's had a few incidents like that already this season and with the whole Spa incident with the booing, getting publicly blamed for the crash from the Merc team and the pressure Hamilton has put him under all weekend he pushed to hard to cracked today.

Bit harsh the booing tbh but he didn't help himself with taking over a week to hold his hands up and apologise for the crash.

Needs to get his head straight for Singapore as his lead if he's not careful will potentially have been halved in two races .

That was absolutely ridiculous driving. He should be suspended.

[Kenneth]

Yep, disgraceful.

Shows the need for a rethink on those curbs too.

Do people not want to see crashes like that? Its what is missing from F1. Not the incident that led to this one though as that was deliberate. But the dangerous crashes are great viewing.

He wasn't above the crash barrier into a fence. Lucky nobody got hurt so no I don't want to see stuff like that!

I drive for a team (karting). The wheels are exposed (similarly but not as bad as F1) and you won't believe how easy it is to get launched into the air.

I had a crash a few weeks ago when somebody tried to dive down the inside from too deep, clipped my right rear bumper, hit my wheel and got catapulted over the top of me.

You won't believe how much it hurts having a crash at 60mph, never mind at 150mph+.

Get this Formula E **** out of the F1 thread, FFS

Top speeds of these electric cars is only about 135 - 140mph though innit? Not saying that diminishes the accident at all, but they probaby weren't near 150mph

I was referring to wanting to see more crashes like this in F1...

[Daniel 7]

Ah right, gotcha. I don't want to see more crashes in F1, thats for people who like buy newspapers because they have pictures of tits in them.

Well I don't buy those newspapers to which you refer yet love a good racing pile up. The problems these days is as soon as you get contact you get punished. Just like football is almost non contact. Its sport but watered down version.
