Latest on Rosberg v Hamilton today. Rosberg has apologised and accepted responsibility for the pair's most recent incident at the Belgium GP – where Rosberg punctured Hamilton’s tyre on lap two, ultimately ending the Briton’s race – and been disciplined by his Mercedes team. "(Team bosses) Toto Wolff, Paddy Lowe, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton met today in the boardroom of Mercedes Amg Petronas headquarters in Brackley to discuss the events of the Belgian Grand Prix," the team said in a statement. "During this meeting Nico acknowledged his responsibility for the contact that occurred on lap two of the Belgian Grand Prix and apologised for this error of judgment. Suitable disciplinary measures have been taken for the incident," the statement read. "Mercedes-Benz remains committed to hard, fair racing because this is the right way to win world championships. It is good for the team, for the fans and for Formula One. Lewis and Nico understand and accept the team's number one rule: there must be no contact between the team's cars on track." Mercedes said they would not change their policy of allowing the pair to race each other freely.

Lewis Hamilton threatening to quit over F1 Mercedes ‘war’: report THE fallout from the explosive Belgian GP has plunged Mercedes into a state of “warâ€, and could persuade Lewis Hamilton to leave the team, according to reports. Although Australia’s Daniel Ricciardo won the race, the focus of attention was firmly trained on Mercedes following Hamilton’s bombshell revelation that Nico Rosberg admitted he had failed to avoid the crash “on purposeâ€. In the words of The Times’ Rick Broadbent, the explosive claims leave Mercedes “in a state of disarray†and F1 in possession of arguably the most acrimonious teammate pairing since Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. “Sport need rivalries and Formula 1 has got a timely new one,†writes Broadbent. “The good news for the sport, then, is it has a duel that is fast becoming unmissable. The bad news is Mercedes’ intent to sanitise it with team orders. Ricciardo says he sees ‘only good things ahead’; others see trouble.†Niki Lauda admits there is tension in the Mercedes camp, and feels the team needs time to cool off following the clash between Hamilton and Rosberg in Belgium. They certainly do. According to Bent Hunt, “Hamilton and Rosberg are at outright war with each other — plunging their Mercedes team into meltdown†and the seemingly irrevocable breakdown in relations between the pair may cause Hamilton to leave the team in 15 months’ time. “The 2008 world champion’s £17 million-a-year ($30m) contract with Mercedes expires at the end of next season and he has yet to agree new terms. “However, he might now be reconsidering his options as Rosberg has already been confirmed for the next three years,†Hunt suggested. For Jonathan McEvoy, Sunday’s collision was “an accident waiting to happen†— but one accelerated by the breakdown in trust between Rosberg and Hamilton in Budapest last month. “There seems no doubt that Rosberg is willing to play dirty to win the world championship,†McEvoy said. “In his defence, he believes Hamilton is too. Rosberg might even argue his deviousness is a direct response to Hamilton’s previous disregard for the imperatives of teamwork. “With weak and inexperienced management, the likelihood of a self-destructive crash was greater.†Like so many of his colleagues, an unimpressed David Tremayne pulls no punches in his dissection of the race. “Rosberg cost Mercedes in the Belgian GP when he collided with Lewis Hamilton on the second lap while challenging for the lead,’ Tremayne writes in The Independent. “As the German controversially refused to surrender a corner that was clearly still Hamilton’s ... the resulted failure ruined Hamilton’s race and compromised Rosberg’s own because of damage to his front wing.†Tremayne also described the decision of the stewards not to investigate the Rosberg-Hamilton collision as “curiousâ€. Meanwhile, in The Daily Telegraph, Daniel Johnson ponders whether the “meltdown†at Mercedes could result in an utterly unexpected title winner as Ricciardo closes in on Rosberg and Hamilton in the standings. “The deficit stands at 64 points, but with double points at the final race and a number of the remaining seven circuits ideally circuited to the Red Bull car, the young Australian is very much in the hunt. The Mercedes duel is playing perfectly into his hands. “For Hamilton, 29 points is the largest the deficit has been all year, but it is not an unbridgeable one. Immediately after the race he mused that it ‘might not be his year’. “If he does win the championship in Abu Dhabi, he will have done it the hard way and in the midst of one of the most bitter rivalries seen in the sport for decades.â€

With mine on or off it make virtually no difference to the fuel consumption, its a big engine unlike a mini and takes almost no power away from the engine to drive the compressor.
