Rosberg 100% to blame for Mercedes crash in Spain – Villeneuve

Jacques Villeneuve believes Nico Rosberg was "100 per cent" to blame for the opening lap crash during the Spanish Grand Prix, which saw both Mercedes cars retire from the lead.

Rosberg got the jump on team-mate and pole sitter Lewis Hamilton at the start of the race, but as they rounded Turn 3, Rosberg was much slower which gave Hamilton an opportunity to retake the lead. However as the Briton dived to the right, the German immediately covered him off, forcing Hamilton to take to the grass where he lost control, spinning into the sister Mercedes car.

Both drivers have been blamed by various parties, although the FIA marked it down as a racing incident, but Villeneuve is certain it was Rosberg who was at fault.

"You never saw it in the ‘80s because they’d kill each other," the 1997 world champion told the Mirror newspaper. "Now the drivers think they are in a video game.

"It’s the one thing you never do. You can ask if Lewis should have been so aggressive but if you want to blame someone its 100 per cent Nico," he said.

"He moved when Lewis had already made his move. You don’t do that, it’s why there is a rule in place. It’s the most dangerous thing you can do in racing – and the unfairest.

"From that point of view he was 100 per cent wrong."
