Lauda: Rosberg at fault for Lewis collision

Niki Lauda thinks Nico Rosberg was to blame for the last-lap collision with Lewis Hamilton which cost Mercedes a one-two at the Austrian Grand Prix.

Hamilton caught Rosberg in the final laps, with the German driver struggling with his brakes in the closing stages of the race. Rosberg appeared to make a mistake at Turn 1 on lap 71, giving Hamilton a run on Rosberg down to the next corner.

Hamilton got alongside Rosberg and appeared to be ahead on the outside, only for Rosberg to go straight on at the corner and into the side of his Mercedes teammate.
