Leading on from the US thread, if Hamilton and Rosberg are at the front at the start and they find themselves in a similar situation again with Ham edging Ros out if i were Nico i would be tempted to let the collision happen.
In my opinion Ros gets bullied far to easily by Lewis and needs to let him know it's not going to happen anymore. This is going to put a small doubt in Lewis's mind for future races and may lead on to closer racing next season.

Every time Rosberg tries to race hard like Alonso, Webber and Hamilton he makes a pigs ear of it and comes out of the situation worse than when he went in. He should just play to his own strengths and not someone else's.
Agreed but Nico needs to start setting himself up for next season, if he sows the seed of doubt in Hamilton's mind it's a good starting point, Lewis may think twice next time and that split second thought could give Nico an edge. Nico is "only" playing for second place now so he needs to be a bit selfish.Having said that i am a Lewis fan, but Nico needs to do something to give himself an advantage.

Like he did at Spa last year? In my opinion Ros gets bullied far to easily by Lewis and needs to let him know it's not going to happen anymore. This is going to put a small doubt in Lewis's mind for future races and may lead on to closer racing next season.

I suspect that if it was Alonso or Vettel in the other Merc (or Massa..) Hamilton wouldn't be so keen to stuff it up the inside and not bother to turn like he did last race.

I think Hamilton was doing that to Alonso within the first two races of his F1 career wasn't he? I think if Alonso was in Hamilton's position he would have done exactly the same. vonuber said:

doubt it.whoever was on the outside was on a looser, once Lewis was alongside into the turn, it's game over.
for the man on the outside, the skill would be seeing this coming and reacting accordingly, ie, hang back and undercut the man on the inside (as was done by a few during the race)
Qualy: HAM, VET, ROS
Race: HAM, VET, RIC
I think Rosberg will decide to get his elbows out a bit - and lose.
I think Pirelli will play it safe with their tyre choice.
I think there will be a lot of Mariachi and fake moustaches.
I think Red Bull will announce they'll be "making a decision soon" on their future in F1.
