Rosberg fined for not visiting stewards
Rosberg was summoned to see the stewards for his involvement in a collision with Alguersuari in FP2. The stewards decided that because of the circumstances of his crash, and the fact he had no previous offences, that he would escape a punishment, but were not impressed that he spoke to the media before visiting the stewards office.

Great work Britney, fancy getting yourself a fine from the stewards because you were too worried about getting on television.

Well Michael, I thought it was important that I convey my view to the media, although I accept I was in error to delay the stewards.

Listen Britney, if you become successful enough the media wait for you while you're in with the stewards. I think I kept them waiting a good 10 hours at Monaco the year I "lost it" at Rascasse.

For a driver of your sublime car control it was indeed a strange error that I still find difficult to comprehend Michael.

I believe it may be very valuable to learn from your mistakes as well as your victories Michael.

Michael Schumacher
Well it seems you're getting good at the mistakes, not so great at the victories though. What are you up to now, zero?

Emulating your career is something I can only dream of Michael, although I hope that this opportunity to work so closely with you will help me to get there.

Hopefully you will get that elusive maiden win Britney. That will knock down the ratio of my victories to yours from infinity to a more respectable 91.

The McLaren group would just like to highlight the inconsistency apparent in this punishment, given Lewis has been repeatedly punished for more minor offences.

You'll find the key reason Rosberg got away with it is "no previous offences", Hamilton has a conviction rate Ted Bundy would wince at.

That's Britney for you, no previous offences, no previous victories, no previous pole positions, no previous world titles.

I'm not going to react to you now Nando, this is the new calm Lewis that doesn't show any emotion any more. I'm just cool about everything.

Really, I thought you were just being a sulky prima-donna looking for attention by pretending to be miserable. I used to do that....when I was four.

The McLaren group would just like to reassure everyone that even though Lewis looks unhappy, he is actually very happy inside, and is showing remarkable maturity.

Hmmm, I'm sure Ayrton Senna would have been screaming blue murder at the injustice of other drivers getting away without a penalty when he felt the authorities were picking on him all season.

This is a frickin joke, I can't believe Nico has gotten away with it, if it was me I would have been frickin penalised. This is totally unfair man, the steward idiots totally have it in for me this year, Ayrton had the same problem. Yellow helmet plus McLaren = victim of injustice.
