I want to see agresive overtaking manovers, but once he was alongside he didn't make the slightest attempt to take the corner.

Ridiculous penalty for Rosberg.
That was Max's mistake. Seeing Rosberg coming from so far back, he should have known Rosberg would be wide on the exit. If he'd stayed wide on the way in he could have taken the place back with a cut-back on the way out.
If you try to hang it round the outside on the way out of a corner when you've been passed up the inside, the other guy is going to show you to the white line. It was true when Hamilton did it to Rosberg in Canada, and it's true here.
Well, I can recall a few times when he did the exact same thing AndyL described above; he divebombed and forced the oppposing driver to steer away from him in order to avoid a crash. Of course this would end up with the other driver reducing their speed significantly and/or out of the track boundaries.
But when he he push someone out on the outside while attempting to not taking the corner?
I'm all for hard racing. But this isn't racing, this just seems cheap. It's even cheaper when it isn't a one off. And it's far worse when he is on the radio complaining that he was on "full lock" - when we saw the onboard.
Exactly what yodasarmpit said, there was no lock up, just no attempt.
You know it's been a lame race when discussing Rosberg's move has been more entertaining than the race itself.
