Rosberg was right to stand up to Hamilton
Nico Rosberg standing up to Lewis Hamilton on track was long overdue. Unfortunately, at the Austrian Grand Prix he made a bad job of dishing out payback
When it comes to wheel-to-wheel combat, Lewis Hamilton has taught Nico Rosberg a few harsh lessons in their time together fighting for world championships.
One of the main things the three-time world champion has made clear is 'If you want to overtake me around the outside, it's not going to work out'. First lap skirmishes at Suzuka and Austin in late-2015, and Montreal 2016 were prime examples.
