If he did then he's a fool - even if he'd been told to do but it he shouldn't have. But I don't believe it. The truth is that Hamilton was quicker all weekend, probably by as much as a quarter of a second a lap, and Rosberg had already made the same mistake earlier in the race when actually the risk would have been to hand victory to Williams. Hamilton put him under pressure at the right time - against the advice of Peter Bonnington don't forget - and Rosberg couldn't handle it. If Hamilton wins this championship then it will because of this psychological victory, imo.

I don't half feel sorry for Rosberg being booed again though - really not deserved. He isn't as good as his car so it stands to reason he's going to make mistakes.

Delighted to see my team 3rd and 4th and well on their way back. Shame about Bottas' start, I think he'd have challenged second place more than Massa, but in truth that's not their race. Yet.
