That's because it was an auto pilot re-pass of much slower car after losing time behind it (and losing the race for the third time, Q and start the first two, rest of the race fourth). The one worth talking about is Sainz on Vettel and Toro Rosso in front of two Ferraris. After replays:
- unless Rosberg's switch made track not wide enough to fit a bad overtaking attempt it didn't cause any crashes. Hamilton knows he messed up, there were 5 pairs of cars with speed difference during first laps. Slightly slower car doesn't make a stupid crash OK, cheapest excuse ever.
- Hamilton had a good start, Rosberg's move was simply better
- again: Vettel made mistakes during first corners, Raikkonen went backwards at the start (must be the super clutch), the rest as usual, Sainz
.
- Coulthard is even worse than Brundle. In PPV age anything but blind fanaticism is considered a treason and commentators have to adjust. "You're not allowed to close people down in a braking zone" A. didn't happen B. One defensive move is perfectly fine if you're in front and that's what Rosberg did. LH behind and not close enough. Not enough space/talent for a clean move either. C. You want to see pushing off in the braking zone watch - Ham-Raikk Ger '14. Textbook and no penalty.

Rosberg won already Monaco three times in a row so who's the new Senna now huh !?! He won 7 races in a row and would have won the eighth if his spiteful team mate didn't take him in a boneheaded move, stole 7 points and possibly more by avoiding a penalty through preferential treatment. I moved to the next race as requested
