Nico Rosberg has been hit with a 10-second penalty after the stewards decided in a lengthy meeting that the driver in question received radio messages from his team that were in breach of F1's new regulations that require a driver to drive his car 'alone and unaided'

So, come Spa, he will most likely start last but pick up 2 or 3 completely new engines, and be fine for the rest of the season. At Spa, he would still probably finish 5th or higher, and thus not loose to many points.Restomaniac wrote: However my thinking is still that this isn't a problem for Rosberg but it's a big problem for Hamilton as he doesn't have the components for it.
However he needs to get to Spa and he is already on 5 components in 2 areas. The last thing he needs right now is extra mileage.
Lewis did not do any extra laps anyway.dans79 wrote: Lewis fitted a new engine in Austria, any only has to make it through Silverstone, hungry, & Hockenheim. The motors were supposed to be able to get through six races each, so 4 plus an extra dozen laps is nothing.

The question is did they go off track in those 3 corners specified by FIA?Felipe 92 wrote: "FIA`s zero tolerance"
PAL went off - time deleted
MAG went off the track twice during his fastest lap in Q1 - no penalty
VES went half a meter off the track at last corner in Q2 - no penalty
PAL and MAG did, VES didn´t . But VES clearly gained time from going off.LionKing wrote:The question is did they go off track in those 3 corners specified by FIA?Felipe 92 wrote: "FIA`s zero tolerance"

To apply the rules on some corners and other not, its quite stupid. But yes, the time is correctly deleted. Rules, even when they are stupid, are valid for everybody.Just_a_fan wrote:Hamilton has had his time deleted for track limits at Copse. So the FIA is applying the "rules".
