Ill let you work out why that is (it's pretty obvious) & why literally no one will ever be penalised for it, let alone at the start of a Grand Prix.
Now, if you want a proper conversation about track limits, barging & leaving a car width, lets talk about doing that along straight bits of tarmac

I'm going to make this REALLY REALLY simple for you (& some others) ...you hit the APEX, you can pretty much do what YOU LIKE on the exit.

Oh please, spare us the patronising lecture. Ill let you work out why that is (it's pretty obvious) & why literally no one will ever be penalised for it, let alone at the start of a Grand Prix.

Look, we know these manoeuvres by Hamilton are operating in a grey area that allows him to get away with it but doesn't make it any less s
t. It's too bad for us fans that Rosberg is not as clever as Hamilton in these situations, in light of the Merc dominance over the last few years.Going slightly off topic - more than anything I would like to see consistency in the rules and penalties. I mean it seems to me that Verstappen was not penalised for relatively dangerous driving at Spain and Belgium but Rosberg was penalised for a cack-handed but not really dangerous move in Germany.
I guess when it comes to this argy-bargy driving I would prefer to see clean racing, but it seems to me that the aggressive style is becoming more widely accepted. At Singapore Kvyat really had his elbows out with Max and nobody batted an eyelid... even Raikkonen was unusually forceful in the way he barged pass Hamilton.

In both cases above it was clean but hard racing though, same in most of the Hamilton vs X scenario's. They know when and how to defend aggressively, but cleanly. It's been said 400x before, but Rosberg lacks this finesse.I guess when it comes to this argy-bargy driving I would prefer to see clean racing, but it seems to me that the aggressive style is becoming more widely accepted.

An aside, but I really enjoyed the Kvyat vs Max for a few laps, was good clean driving from both of them, and the first decent showing from Kvyat since he got demoted.

Not sure I agree... like I said before all drivers get it wrong sometimes and it is easy to selectively remember the incidents a driver has had an disregard the clean racing he has done. Over the years there are plenty of examples of Rosberg racing and passing people skillfully. rsbmw said:
I've seen you state that many times, but I'm still yet to see an example.
Indeed, I think with some people it's their dislike of hamilton that rather drives their admiration of Rosberg. Over the years he's been with Mercedes with Schumacher & Hamilton as team mates I fail to remember any impressive moves by him.VolvoT5 said:
