Well, looking at it again it's not exactly the same, but it's after the move was over and Rosberg exited the corner, that's when Danny should have backed off as Rosberg had the inside line. The beginning of the incident is the same but on the exit of the corner, is about the point I'm making.
A good vid to illustrate the point , I must say .
Thanks for posting that .

The pass attempt into the corner was a dive , to be sure , but Nico , better sighted on the exit , being on the inside , should have seen him coming .
Had he left that little bit more space , he already had the overspeed to keep the position , but he attempted to close the door too early .

He didn't slide into the spot .


Now , from the other side , yes Dan hit his rear tire , showing Nico to be ahead , but that was because of the difference in speed between them because he had locked and gone straight in the corner .
When Nico ran into his path , he was going straight , accelerating to get out first .
And , technically , he was ahead , only moments before .


So , for me , the verdict is that Rosberg deserved a penalty there , and perhaps avoided it with a flat .
