Williams driver Valtteri Bottas has questioned whether the changes to Formula One's radio rules are enough.
Although he has been unaffected by the new rules, he said that the punishments handed to those who brake the rules aren't enough to put people off doing it.
"For us the rule has been no problem as we haven't had those kinds of issues in the races, so as long as we don't have any kind of those problems then it's fine," he said.
"But once you hit the problems, I think Nico [Rosberg] got only a 10 second penalty with multiple advices, so I would guess staying on track and taking a penalty would be less of a penalty than coming into the pit lane for advice."
"So unless they are going to change the rule on how big penalties they are going to give you for staying on track, I don't see a point in coming into the pits."

Haha good point by Bottas; 10 sec penalty versus 18 / 20 / 22 sec of drive-through time.
Also, what should Rosberg have done? Take the drive-through route, keeping within the 80 kph limit while stuck in 7th gear?
