Leclerc didn't really need to run Hamilton completely off the road. He could have given him a little more space and still come out of the corner ahead.

I don't really expect that kind of mistake from a driver of his quality. That's pretty much an unforced error similar to Verstappen in Zandvoort.

This season served to finally bury the myth that Leclerc is championship material.

He will never be a champion and never had the talent to be one. He will spend the rest of his career with the sole ambition of being better than his teammate at any cost and nothing more than that.

It was fair game that corner, Leclerc is not wrong but he should have given his teammate space.
Now look how he ends up. In the barriers after a rookie mistake, and his teammate might end on the podium. This sort of short term thinking is why he shouldbe firmly managed by the team. I am calling for official No.2 status from hence forth!

Actually after watching replays I am not even sure if it was fair game. Hamilton was ahead at the apex. They might still penalize Leclerc ...

Absolutely not, that was a text book racing incident

Rosberg just nailed it.

The Hamilton incident was 100% Leclercs fault.

The team needs to grow some balls and make it very clear to Leclerc he is the number 2 and his sole job for the rest of the season is to support the lead driver in the WDC.
Hamilton fans need to grow some balls as it' very clear he's never again going to be the number one driver and that he's not a serious contender in the championship.

Which incident? Hamilton tried to pass, Leclerc, like every racer, closed the door a little. So what?

Are you guys really serious?!

I’m very confident Rosberg knows better than you (or anybody on this forum).

Hamilton was ahead at the apex, Leclerc left no racing room. Should be a penalty but the stewards have said “no further action”. That’s that then.

The Rosberg that said that Lewis would have done the exact same thing to Charles if the positions were reversed??

But the roles weren’t reversed so it’s immaterial.

So is your argument because stewards said no further action.

Irrelevant.

Leclerc (not Hamilton) just nearly took out the teams number 1 driver, impacting the teams only hope at WDC.

Then managed to crash like a rookie.
