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 .
Well, once Nico was ahead of Dan, Dan should have realized the move was over and he couldn't win this one. Going flat out and driving into your opponent is the wrong thing to do. Between the point where Nico got ahead and Dan hit him, there was only one person that could have prevented that accident from happening and that was Danny. That's why I believe it is his fault, he could have momentarily lifted to avoid the contact.
