No FIA action against Rosberg

FORMULA One's governing body will take no action against championship leader Nico Rosberg despite Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton accusing him of a deliberate collision at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday.

“The FIA will not intervene in this issue,” said a spokesman for the International Automobile Federation.

He said it would require a ‘new element’ for stewards to open an investigation once the results had been declared official and discounted Hamilton’s post-race comments.

“A comment alleged to have been made in an internal briefing and later denied by the team itself does not constitute such a ‘new element’,” added the spokesman.

Hamilton said in Spa that Rosberg had admitted hitting him on the second lap during a failed overtaking maneuver to ‘prove a point’.
