Don't think it's that simple. It may be a setting that only limits top-end speed. But both drivers agree ROS was on the wrong setting. Knowing this, it now appears to be 100% Rosberg's fault. Not just for selecting the wrong setting, but when he saw that Hamilton was coming on so much faster, he should've realized something was wrong, rather than just drive HAM off the road.

Not EVEN going to get into the Merc debacle, except at this point they should know better, and I think Britney is going to be gone next year. Just my thoughts.

Also, Max is awesome. I think he was/is ready for the swap from Kvyat. I hate RBR, but seeing them outpace Ferrari yesterday was just spectacular.

According to the article, it's for energy conservation, which would be important later in a race (if you're ahead).

Exactly. So how does an experienced driver end up in Strat 12 to start a race when he shouldn't have been anywhere near Strat 12 to begin with? Strat 3 is nowhere near Strat 12.

If Strat 12 was ever needed, I'm guessing you're in cruise control with a big lead and dialing that setting should be low stress. It's nowhere near 3 or 6, so how exactly does it get erroneously selected?

One of my favorite tracks and a great race to watch this year. Amazing that 5 races into the season and we have Raikkonen ahead of Hamilton in the driver standings!

Thanks. That's what I asked earlier. Just couldn't make sense of where Strat 12 came from.

Initial reactions tell the story. LH was pissed, throwing his steering wheel, and NR kinda gives an "aww shucks" swing with his arm.

That debrief had to be pure rage!

Will be very curious to see how the team handles it. They keep refusing to name a #1 driver so no reason to believe it won't happen again.
It's a real shame. At first I also tended to blame LH, but after seeing it a few times and seeing a post-race analysis, I further blame NR. Yes, he didn't expect LH to be there so quickly, but knowing he made a mistake, he SHOULD have expected LH there. He gave him no room, and thus, AGAIN, proved that he is unable to do wheel to wheel racing.

The two Mercedes need to take each other out more often. That made for a great race.

One hell of a drive by Max but bummed to see Haas get bumped out of points.

True, though we'd probably have had the exact same race, but for 3rd on the podium in lieu of 1st...

LH had the speed and room to pass, once his wing passed the rear of Nico he was in the right and performing a legal pass. Nico was clearly in the wrong and the only reason this was deemed a racing incident is bc they are teammates and Mercedes coached them through the review with the steward to take a 50/50 blame of the incident. Rosberg made the mistake, Rosberg compensated with an aggressive and careless move = Rosberg was at fault no room for interpretation.
Not going to lie, the video analysis did sway me a little from thinking it was just a racing incident.

What a sore loser Rosberg is ... even after winning 7 in a row, he can't concede a pass from Lewis after making a mistake and drives him off the road instead !!

What happened to the "No double move" rule and the "One car width from the edge of the track" rule?? How the hell is this not 100% Rosberg's fault and how the hell did he get away without getting a 10 grid penalty for Monaco??

This is real BS. The sport does not want a 3 time repeat champion, that's all there is to it.

Imagine if RB let him cover Kimi in Spain, then a win in Monaco before heading into Canada with an upgraded power plant? I guess I just wrote a movie script ha so many what ifs - one can only hope.
Yes RBR is very interesting now, I just hope the engine remain a notch below the Benz to make it an even fight with different advantages. We don't want to swap one unbeatable car for another, at least I don't.

Monaco! Let's see what Verstappen will be up to this time.

Grosjean was just in the way. Leave Max alone, he knows what he's doing.

On a serious note: GO MAX!!!!!!1111!!!!!
