You guys need to stop taking facts and using your bias to interpret them your own way. They are facts there is no interpretation, just what actually happened.
Despite Toto Wolfe and Niki Lauda saying that it was Rosbergs fault. Publicly stating that too, may I add. You still believe we're the biased ones 
Fact is those far more qualified to reach a decision than those two main members of M-B F1 management, being not directly involved decided no Stewards' action was necessary. Not even a drive through!
Maybe the Stewards have got it in for our poor hard done by Hamilton. Yes, that's it. Conspire.. conspire ...
Now it obviously suits many to regurgitate what the Wolfe and Lauda said so soon after the "racing incident" and ignore their more measured comments sometime later.
Hamilton was unlucky. That is all...

I think it comes down to the difference between deliberately crashing and deliberately not avoiding a crash which is your fault.
contact is not crash, at no point could Rosberg know the consequences, it could be just a minor contact, it could be no contact at all, it could be him out of the race and LH cruising to victory (most likely in those situations, as Brundle said) or he could get extremely lucky as it unfoldedeven if he practiced the situation all day it wouldn't guarantee him repeating it with any degree of certainty

Hamilton expected Rosberg to concede the corner as he had done before except it didn't happen had Hamilton given Rosberg a bit more room he would have gone on to win but Hamilton is a racer so he couldn't concede the corner.
Rosberg having had enough of this especially after Hungary stayed in it far to long and accidentally caused a puncture.
That's it end of it was a racing incident Rosberg's fault but a racing incident none the less
Rosberg didn't have the corner to concede - he was nearly a full car length behind LH, on the outside of the corner. Rosberg having had enough of this especially after Hungary stayed in it far to long and accidentally caused a puncture.

Another joke post.

"Former F1 driver Emmanuele Pirro, who was the driver expert on the panel of FIA stewards at the Belgian Grand Prix, has said that the decision not to investigate the Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton collision took them very little time to reach.
Speaking to Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pirro, 52, said, “We needed less than 10 seconds to decide that the contact was innocuous and not worth pursuing. It was something venial that had unfortunate consequences, but the contact came in a few millimetres, in other words neither of the two cars had sudden movements."

Saying that
Rosberg caused the accident, that is clear. It has transpired that he did it half on purpose... Someone used an example of earlier of putting your foot out in front of somebody walking, it seems fitting.

If NR was a full car length behind how did he manage to damage LH's tyre & his own wing?Another joke post.

NR was nowhere near staking a claim to the corner. He had nothing to concede as he had no chance if making that move.
Yet another example of his inability to overtake.

Before they turned in Rosberg's front wing was in line with Lewis's front wheel so Lewis knew he was there.
He didn't leave any racing room Nico didn't want to back down again so stayed in it longer than he should have done.
Had Hamilton been thinking about his championship he'd have left Nico racing room & then disappeared into the distance to take 25 points.
Most of the time when wings hit tyres they don't puncture (for example Vettel Alonso)

Please explain it then so I can understand it better.Now that would be amazing ...

I'm not even going to waste my time pulling apart this one.
