Nico Punished

That should be fair and unbiased then.
Much like the rest of the articles on that site.
He actually takes sole responsibility for the collision in rather magnanimous fashion. I'm perfectly satisfied with letting Rosberg have the final word on this one. It's inconceivable that someone will dispute Rosberg's own sentiments on the matter when he so whole-heartedly expresses remorse and regret.
The implication being that Nico was somehow duped by his team into accepting blame for the collision?

So it was Lewis's fault when he was told to lie for the team in Australia 2009, but Mercedes, not Nico's, fault for telling him to lie about Spa 2014. Got it.
Where have you got that from?? That he's lying about being responsible on Mercedes command?

People on here seem to be suggesting Nico was forced to make a 'confession' by his team, that's what I mean by lying.
I think this all stems from Toto's total overreaction in front of the cameras before he even had chance to get both sides of the story from both his drivers it was completely unprofessional of him and left the team with nowhere to maneuver as far as Rosberg's guilt or none guilt went as both Toto and the Rat had accused, tried, and convicted Nico before Rosberg had chance to defend himself.
Ross Brawn would never have spoken like that about one of his drivers to the cameras before he had all the facts at hand and probably not even after he had all the facts, the situation has been completely mishandled from start to finish.

They had every right in the world to give their honest assessment of the situation. An assessment that hasn't changed at all and has now been fully endorsed by Rosberg, mind you.
Careful Mephistopheles, any more sensible comments like that and people will start taking you seriously 
Not duped! Told.
He was ordered by Mercedes to write an Op-Ed piece for the Daily Mail! Now that is funny. 
You have probably got the no Sensationalist Bullshit Allowed Filter on your firewall activated, or SBAF as it is known, it's a bit like SPAM only better..

Brogan "at least he didn't lie to the stewards" is only part of what I stated, and totally changes the context. If you can find another example of "at least he didn't lie to the stewards to try to get another driver disqualified" then fair enough.
Sorry, but this has turned into a Rosberg witch hunt. It was a racing incident, get over it. I have no doubt Nico said something in the meeting that made Lewis say the things he did (but should not have to the media), but were most likely (in my opinion) said in the heat of the moment when Toto, Niki, Lewis and no doubt several others were in his face. I'd do the same if I'm honest. If the drivers were reversed, then I expect some of the opinions would be reversed too. Mine would not be, which is why I can't believe it has become a big deal.
