Montagny harsh on Rosberg: “He deliberately sought contact with Hamilton”

Franck Montagny also expressed his point of view on the collision that occurred between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton when braking at turn 2 on the last lap of the Austrian GP. For the transalpine driver, with a past in F1 driving for Super Aguri, the commissioners' panel took the right decision by penalizing the German, guilty of having deliberately sought contact with his teammate.

"The person responsible for the accident is Rosberg. When Hamilton came to the outside of Turn 2, Nico realized that he was about to lose the race – wrote Montagny in his column in the columns of Le Point - Reviewing the images it is very clear that Rosberg, despite having declared that he had problems with the brakes, did not immediately engage the corner in search of contact with Lewis".

"Rosberg – continues Montagny – he ruined his race. Overall, I think he did better than Hamilton. He was in good shape, before the accident he responded well on the track, managing to counter his teammate's attacks. TOListening to his first post-match statements, you can feel that he is very stressed psychologically. This episode can certainly represent the turning point of the season".
