Formula 1
Showdown in the last round
The decision at the Grand Prix of Austria falls just before the end. Then Hamilton pass Rosberg and win. Rosberg falls after a Crash back to rank four. Big Disappointment! Vettel retires from the race.
What was the last round! So you wish for the formula 1! In the last round of world champion Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the fight for the victory duel. Hamilton passes Rosberg under braking, clipped the British, and loses part of his front spoiler, the grinds now sparking under his car. Leadership, then, the dream of victory as well. Rosberg is still in the world championship standings on the front, back falls at the Grand Prix of Austria in Spielberg even.
“I had everything under control and was convinced that I complained this thing to go home”, Rosberg in the target. “In the last round, my were overheated brakes, I’m inside, I’m a bit far out, had brakes subsided. And then he moved in. I’m very disappointed to lose the race,” said Rosberg. “I was on the outside”, and defended himself against Hamilton in front of the pipe and buhenden audience at the award ceremony. “I didn’t build the accident.”
An angry Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff has moved to a clear position: “The contact must be avoided, that we have already mentioned several times. It would have been more sensible, if Nico would have pulled back.” And he was even clearer: “Maybe we will make unpopular decisions, if the two do not want to hear, so the stable order.”
And at the end of the world champion Hamilton… cheers, because Rosberg is to blame for the accident itself
At the Grand Prix of Austria in Spielberg, the Dutchman Max Verstappen at the Red Bull landed in second place, Kimi Raikkonen ended up in the Ferrari, unexpectedly still on the third place. His team-mate Sebastian Vettel retired after a tyre burst at a speed of 300 after 27 laps. His Ferrari crashed into the guardrail and remained minutes long demolished on the track. The Safety Car had to lead the racers through the pit lane, so that the debris could be parts to be removed. “I’ve done nothing wrong. We have nothing to Aggressive or Stupid trying to finish,” said a noticeably eroded Vettel in the TV channel Sky.
Light Wehrlein

The comeback culminated in a German double lead after 25 rounds. But then Vettel’s associated with blowouts, everything is new. Rosberg now had to share it with the Tire on the front Suspension more travel, as well as the brakes to Overheat, contributed to or at least a deterioration of the aerodynamics.
For Nico Hülkenberg, as the Second race went, ended the race with a disappointment: He had to Park his Force India after a race full of failures, bad luck and breakdowns on the rear seats lying in the Garage. “It was a black Sunday. It is nothing to run. I don’t know what was going on, I have used a set of tires after another,” said Hülkenberg after the race. “We now need to understand what happened,” he looked to the front, “but clearly, we need to digest now.” In contrast, Pascal Wehrlein had every reason to be happy. The formula 1 rookie got in a defeated Manor in tenth place in the first point of his career.
