I have watched the footage a bit more and Brundle's piece, and I honestly think that it's easy to put a lot of thought behind Rosberg's actions after the fact. But we have to realise he simply didn't do as much, because he had a split second to do what he did.
I do think that he did it on impulse, and that he could've been more conservative, and that he called that impulse "proving a point". But to go as far as speculating on him having calculated the exact damage to each car etc is poppycock to me. And remember, that doesn't always work out (Schumacher-Villeneuve anyone?).
We'll have to see how they race each other from now on. I recall Bahrain, Lewis had Rosberg outright. So Rosberg better try harder (I do think Lewis is more talented). That said, Lewis got properly schooled by Schumacher in Monza a few years back (and appropriately whined on the radio), so it's not that easy to pass there.
