168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:RESULTS: Malaysian G🍨rand Pri꧅x - Race results

Toto Wolff has slammed the decision to give Nico Rosberg a ten-second time penalty d𓆉uring the M♕alaysian Grand Prix as 'nonsense' following his contact with Kimi Raikkonen.

Rosberg was charging bac🦋k through the field after Sebastian Vettel tapped him into a spin on the first lap when he made a robust pass on Raikkonen at tu𝓀rn two on lap 37 of 56.

Cutting to the inside of the corner as an𓆏 unawares Raikkonen turned in, the pair clashed wheels - causing minor floor damage ꩲto the Ferrari - and allowing Rosberg to snatch fourth place.

However, stewards would take a dim view of Rosberg's conduct, handing the title contender a ten second penalty to be added to his𝕴 race time. Despite this, Rosberg would go on to build a 13secs lead over Raikkonen behind to maintain the position and retain what would become a third place finish.

Even so, it is a punishment Mercedes F1 boss Wolff dismissed as 'nonsense' and against the spi🎉rit of the team's own rules to allow its drivers to race one another.

"The penalty is just complete nonsense," he said. "Over a couple of months ago we decided altogether that we wanted to allow the racing between all the cars and if it wasn't 100 per♔cent clear that someone was at fault then we would let them race against each other ... and then this. I don't know, it is for others to comment."

With Raikkonen proving typically taciturn about the incident - saying he didn't think it made a difference to the end result -, Ro💯sberg nonetheless says he 'accepted' the penalty.

"I accept it. I'm fortunate that it didn't cost me a position in the race, of course. I had to give it everything lap after lap again in the end there to re-gap that 10 seconds to make sure we had a 10 second gap, and at the same time save the engine because of Lewis's pr♋oblem. We were a bit hesitant to run it all out until the end so it's a bit of a two-pronged."

It is Rosberg's fourth in-race penalty of the 2016 season after he collided with Lewis Hamilton in Austria, was informed on how to manage a gearbox problem at Silverstone and eased Max Ver🐭stappen off course in Germany.

Rosberg heads into the final five races with a 23 point lead over Lewis Hamilton﷽ in the standings after his main rival suffered a technical DNF in Sepang.
