Why the Rosberg short-cut decision was right
Nico Rosberg's trip across the final chicane in the Canadian Grand Prix was not penalised by stewards. EDD STRAW agrees with the decision, but explains why track limits are an increasing problem in motorsport
Are gaining an advantage and avoiding a disadvantage the same thing?
Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton would probably have approached that question from diametrically opposed perspectives after the German's trip across the final chicane shortcut on lap 25 of the Canadian Grand Prix.
The incident was, quite correctly, investigated by the stewards and, again rightly, responded to with a warning. After all, the fact Rosberg set the fastest third sector time of the whole race on that lap automatically warranted the stewards taking a look, but as per the prescribed interpretation of the rule no action was taken.
