I am also surprised fans on an f1 forum appear to have a better grasp of the rules and driving standards than a current driver. Nico either doesn't know, or he's playing dumb in front of the media in the hope the stewards will give him the benefit of the doubt.
That's just it , though .
They are sick to death of trying to manage these two .

Rosberg's defense here , insisting it was his line to take , implies heavily that this was what he has faced after earlier scenarios were discussed .
He's not playing dumb . He's making a point by playing by internal Merc rules .
Why the hell else would he insist he's right when also saying he respects the decision ?

I believe Merc rules need to change , as the FIA ones won't , and shouldn't .
And , I believe that's what Nico wants .

It's that , or team orders .
