I'm getting fed up of all this petty stuff - Red Bull pulled up Mercedes for talking to Rosberg on the radio. They're like children.
Either simplify the cars, or clarify the rules. I'm 90% expecting the British stewards to disqualify Rosberg. It's not a drivers' championship any more, it may as well be a computer test conducted at 200mph.
I'd rather go back to simple petrol engines, stricter regulations and far fewer driver aids. I can really see why it's losing viewers to Indy car. To be honest for me now the highlight of an F1 weekend is becoming the GP2 races.

The rules ARE quite clear, no coaching unless it's a safety issue. It wasn't a safety issue and as such it wasn't allowed.

I thoroughly enjoyed Max doing his thing again, how he passed Rossberg and later on kept him behind for a while. Not really because he's Dutch but because he's an exciting driver who will liven things up for a long time to come.
Interesting penalty... So telling him he can go to chassis mode 0 is fine, but telling him to skip 7th isn't?

How about let teams talk to their drivers all they want?
What exactly is lost in terms of show or the sport if the engineers are allowed to do their jobs? I just don't get it.
They got the complaint that too much info was coming from the team, and that the driver's role was being diminished, because 1.147 engineers were monitoring every little detail, so nothing would go unnoticed.... which I kinda get...
But being the engineer on the radio you'd have to think thrice before you say ANYTHING that you can't, which is super annoying
