... and showed us the barriers were only expanded polystyrene - Rosberg could have driven straight through them!

I find it fascinating that the general consensus is that Rosberg's mistakes were 100% legit and Jordan's question post race are being laughed out of the paddock.

I thought exactly the same.

Why was it that lots of drivers locked up into turn 1, yet Rosberg with the slightest puff of tyre smoke decided (twice) to give up on the corner and take the slower escape? In the first instance, bringing Hamilton 2 seconds closer and the second, giving up position.

Is it really that far fetched an idea that Rosberg was told to do something like this if we wants to continue to drive for the team? Let's face it, any of the top 10 drivers on the grid could jump in that Merc and win races. Particularly if Rosberg's 'mistakes' were genuine. If there were legit, it's a little embarrassing for him don't you think as everyone else managed to lock up, yet still make the corner and only lost a few tenths, rather than the 2 seconds (and race win) that he lost.

Can't wait for it all to come out in Rosberg's book in a few years

Much as I find EJ a PITA at times, it's worth remembering he was a team owner and will be well-schooled in the art of F1 team machinations...
