Rosberg fought his way up the
order from sixth on the grid to lead pole sitter Hamilton in the closing stages
and there was rarely more than a couple of seconds between the silver cars. On
the last lap the world champion went for the inside line into Turn 1 and looked
to be cleanly past.
However, Rosberg - thought to
be suffering from brake issues - then appeared to turn in on his team mate, the
right-front of his car making heavy contact with the left side of Hamilton’s.
The German limped on, but is under investigation for causing a collision and
failing to stop with a seriously damaged car.
